Value-Added Benefits of Walk In Baths

Written by Stephen Ryan | Jan 20, 2012 9:13:38 AM

Having a spa available for hydro-therapy is a very big advantage today. When thinking about how to increase the value of your home, consider the recent spike in medical authorizations for hydro-therapy walk in baths and showers.

Doctors and Scientists Agree

The hydrating and healing effects of water therapy are much more highly regarded today. Modern science confirms the profound pain-reducing affects using various forms of water therapy can have on common conditions such as arthritis, Fibromyalgia, sports injuries or food allergies. These conditions cause painful, tight muscle symptoms. There are dietary deficiencies that can cause chronic, on-going pain in the muscles as well.

While medical uses are convincing, it doesn’t take a doctor to convince anyone how much stress is relieved when the body is able to completely immerse itself in a hot, fragrant muscle-relaxing liquid.

Safe, Well Known, Effective, Inexpensive

Safe, well known and inexpensive. For therapies available in the world, hydro-therapy has moved far-higher on the list of most important scientifically-acknowledged, effective solutions to many painful ailments beyond just muscle issues.

Hydration-awareness has also become a more common concern, made visible by the number of water bottles the public uses. The important focus on detoxification and continued need for hydration of the body has lead to this behavior. Hot water dramatically increases blood-flow to extremities. This is helpful with diseases such as diabetes. Hydrotherapy is effective for the treatment of inflammation, tendonitis, infections, carpel tunnel syndromes, bursitis, scoliosis, multiple sclerosis, injuries and more.

Proper Hydration Prevents Injury and Disease

Hydrating muscles properly can also serve to prevent muscle-injury if applied before rigorous muscle use. Anytime the circulation is improved, the immune system and other circulatory functions improve.

Studies show rehabilitation efforts are enhanced when patients have hydro-therapy units in-home. These systems are needed for recovery from accidents, connective tissue diseases, strokes, respiratory problems such as asthma by increasing the blood-circulation which in turn strengthens immune systems and increases available stores of energy.

The therapeutic walk in baths and showers are deeper than ordinary bath tubs. Jets for focused streams of pressurized water with tightly-sealed sides help water come all the way up to the neck while in comfortable body-positions.

It is a “weightlessness” experience that the muscles crave.

Afford Deep-Tissue Massage Every Day

Jets, forced bubbles and water-pressurized options provide targeted massage for specific muscles as well. This action has another list of benefits as long as the one above. Stimulation of the lymphatic system is necessary, and jets with bubbles that massage and soothe can enhance body-functions as well. Soft air bubbles rise from the floor of the tub providing the whole body with a subtle skin massage. More forceful streams deliver all the known benefits of direct deep-muscle and surface-skin massage.

Profound benefits are also found through color therapies as well. Discover more healing treatments suited to your personal needs. Add unmistakable value to your home before resale efforts, by contacting us to learn more about walk in baths and showers today.
