Hot Tub Hydrotherapy Can Be a Step on the Path to Wellbeing

At Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs, we see a connection between making good choices for the sake of your heart health and the positive benefits of hot tubs. Experts tell us that heart disease is preventable and controllable. Eating a healthy diet, getting your blood pressure checked, keeping your weight in a healthy range, and exercising are all recommended, along with no smoking and limiting the use of alcohol.

But where do you start, and how do you stay motivated along the way? This is where hot tub hydrotherapy comes in.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says taking small steps on the path to better heart health is the way to go. Here’s a comparison of what the CDC recommends, and how Jacuzzi Hot Tubs hydrotherapy can support your efforts.

“Don’t become overwhelmed.”
Jacuzzi Tip: Hot tub hydrotherapy can relax your mind and body after a stressful day, renew your energy, and improve your mood. It’s easier to resist the urge to calm the nerves with “stress” eating, and to take a walk after dinner, when you’ve had some time to unwind in your hot tub.

“Don’t go it alone.”
Jacuzzi Tip: The CDC says “The journey is more fun when you have company,” and we agree. Sharing hot tub time with family and friends helps you connect with those who provide support for (and a pleasant break from) your efforts to build healthy habits.

“Don’t get discouraged.”
Jacuzzi Tip: It’s going to take some time to reach your goals for a healthier heart, and we all know how hard it is to stay motivated when you’re feeling tired and sluggish. A hydrotherapeutic massage has been shown to boost circulation and promote a good night’s sleep, leaving you better prepared to face the challenges of the day.

“Reward yourself.”
Jacuzzi Tip: Having fun decreases stress, which has been cited as a contributing factor in heart disease. Kick back in your backyard hot tub with someone you love on Valentine’s Day, for example, and you’ll probably find yourself laughing and talking more easily than you would in a crowded restaurant.

Why not honor American Heart Month by supporting a healthier way of life for you and your family?

Here’s the Breakdown on the Benefits of Jacuzzi® Hydrotherapy

<a href="http://www.jacuzzihottubs.com/hot-tub-blog/got-stress-get-a-hot-tub/"><img alt="Jacuzzi Hot Tubs" src="http://www.jacuzzihottubs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Jacuzzi-Hot-Tub-Infographic2.jpg" width="650" /></a>

It may be comforting to know that you’re not the only one who worries…about money (75% of us stress over money)…and work (70%)…and relationships (58%). You get the picture. You’re also not alone in being subject to the negative effects of stress, which include:

• Having trouble falling asleep and waking up at night.
• Feeling sluggish and less alert during the day.
• Being “wired” by the body’s production of adrenaline, which gets you ready for action. Since you can’t do anything about that adrenaline rush most of the time (squeezing the steering wheel tighter when stuck in traffic doesn’t count), your body pays the price. Blood vessels get constricted and circulation slows down, which leads to health problems.

All it takes is a quick look at the chart to see how a Jacuzzi hot tub helps you manage stress. The benefits are wide ranging, and include a few that aren’t shown on the chart. For example, sharing time in a hot tub can promote better communication and closer relationships. Spending time outdoors in your hot tub can make you feel more connected to the natural rhythm of the days and seasons, and less of a slave to your crowded schedule.

Studies have shown that hydrotherapy helps combat stress. To discover why Jacuzzi hydrotherapy works best, contact your local Jacuzzi Hot Tubs dealer. They can provide a full breakdown on our hot tubs’ stress-busting abilities, along with a chance to experience Jacuzzi hot tub hydrotherapy for yourself.

Behind The Scenes:

Jacuzzi was graciously invited into the home of a local southern California family to capture raw footage featuring a J-480 hot tub installation. Like many families, busy schedules and a flurry of activities tend to dictate the daily pace of hustle and bustle. At this active home, the hot tub is viewed as a place where the family gathers and stays connected. A small area in back of the house was designated as the go to spot to unplug and unwind…as a family.

They are all smiles, nice and warm in the Jacuzzi hot tub while we are freezing…it’s winter!

“Wednesdays are unofficial hot tub family nights.”

A busy mom shares how her Jacuzzi hot tub has allowed her to spend quality time with her daughters having meaningful face to face conversations away from cell phones and computers.

How to Tell the Difference

I was eating lunch with two old friends from school the other day when one of them asked for advice about buying a “cheap hot tub,” in terms of price. Not wanting to second-guess the value of the hot tub he was describing, I was able to give him a couple of pointers about hot tub prices and value.

Is it a brand name you trust?

A hot tub is a major purchase for most people. Just as consumers rely on the reputations of well-known automobile manufacturers and appliance makers, it’s smart to consider the brand name on a hot tub for sale. A value priced, affordable hot tub from a reputable hot tub manufacturer will still be a durable, well-built spa.

Affordable hot tub style: the Jacuzzi J-280™ spa

Jacuzzi has been making hot tubs for more than 55 years and has dealers in 60 countries, which says consumers have respected the name for a long time. I suggested that my friend download a brochure to get details about why Jacuzzi is so well respected.

Father’s Day is June 17

Dads of all ages love Jacuzzi Hot Tubs spas. They trust the Jacuzzi® brand and recognize the value in owning a reliable outdoor hot tub with cool features. If you’re lucky enough to be able to present a new Jacuzzi hot tub as a gift on Father’s Day, that’s awesome! But if you’re involved in the hot tub buying decision together, here are 3 suggestions for dad-friendly Jacuzzi spas.

Locate a Dealer

1.     The Jacuzzi J-LXL™ saves more on operating costs than any other hot tub in its class (along with the J-LX). And what dad doesn’t like to save energy? My dad was always telling us to turn out the lights when we left a room. The J-LXL spa features sleek new styling, with a flattop edge and handsome cabinetry that fits into any landscape. And dad is going to love the lounge seat in this outdoor hot tub. He can lean back and enjoy a full-body hydro-massage from the Jacuzzi jets.

2.     The J-365™ is a BIG hot tub that seats up to 7 adults. It’s built for good times with family and friends, and it offers a luxuriously wide choice of seating and hydrotherapy options. The PowerPro Therapy Seat could become dad’s favorite; it massages the entire back, relieving stress and easing sore muscles.

3.     The J-315™ spa works well for new dads, empty nesters or retirees. A compact outdoor hot tub like the J-315 has the best of the big hot tubs in a spa that seats 2-3 adults. It’s simple to maintain (important for busy new dads), and its lower height makes it easy for everyone, young or old, to enter and exit.

How Many of the Hot Tub’s Jets are Adjustable?

When you submerge in a hot tub, you need the jets to soothe the right muscles, the right way. Being able to adjust jets accordingly is crucial for optimum hydrotherapy. This is the standard by which physical therapy and athletic hydrotherapy systems are judged.
