Health
A massaging hot tub reduces stress, stimulates blood
circulation, lowers muscle tension and soreness, gives temporary relief from
arthritis and accelerates heal of muscle related injuries. Did we
mention fun? Fun is good.

Arthritis Relief
Many doctors strongly recommend hydrotherapy- soaking in warm
water- as part of a comprehensive treatment of chronic arthritis pain (which
may also include physiotherapy, hypnosis and medication). Just 10 to 15
minutes per day in water temperatures between 98 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit
(36 to 40 degrees C) can significantly improve your body’s coordination and
flexibility. A hot tub is also an excellent place to exercise sore arms
and legs, because unlike exercising on land, which forces your muscles and joints
to fight against gravity, exercising in the near-weightlessness of a hot tub
requires minimal energy and strength. Finally, the warm aquatic
environment facilitates blood flow to your extremities and makes it easier
for your heart to pump. How do we know all this? President and
CEO of Coast Spas, Don Elkington, serves on the Board of Directors for the
Arthritis Research Centre of Canada.

Improved Sleep
Humans are supposed to sleep nine or 10 hours a day. A
relaxing daily spa session can help you get the greatest benefits from the
sleep you DO have time for.
|
Social Life
Having friends over for a hot tub is a lot easier than cooking
them dinner. You’ll find your Coast tub could quickly become a social
hub for family, friends and Significant Others. And you can always
order pizza.

Massage
High-pressure water on tired muscles provides a soothi9ng and
stimulation effect similar to that of an expensive massage therapy
session. In fact, a home spa gives you instant, permanent access to the
same beneficial effects of hot water enjoyed through the ages by the ancient
Turks and Romans (or anyone who happens to live near natural hot
springs). A hot tub’s hydro massage jets target pain precisely.
Jets in the footwell, for example, alleviate pain in your ankles and feet,
while swirling jets installed in the back of a hot tub’s lounge seat ease
tension in the back and neck. Morning stiffness? A relaxing soak
is a great way to start the day. More pain at night? Have a soak
before bedtime.

Investment
A Coast hot tub will look great in your back yard, especially
with a choice of cabinets and shell colors custom-tailored to its
surroundings. And like a good kitchen or bathroom reno, an attractive,
top-quality spa can add esthetic and monetary value to your property.
