Hot Tub Health, Hydrotherapy & Spa Benefits

Successful career, demanding job all counter-balanced with the feeling of self-fulfilment, with an excellent home background.

If it was not for the enormous amount of daily stress, life would be almost ideal. However, every activity is paid for with tiredness and worry, or with health problems in the worst case. Stress is the negative phenomenon of our age, both psychological and physical.

However, it cannot be easily avoided.

It is important to know how to reduce its influence over our health and mental well-being. Finding an optimal method of relaxation is one of the possible ways.

Positive effects

  • The principal effect of hydrotherapy is water buoyancy, its optimum temperature (37-39°C) and aimed water flow.
  • Hydrotherapy strengthens blood circulation, decreases blood pressure, improves skin tones, relaxes muscles and stimulates the immune system.
  • It beneficially affects the human psyche as well as, eliminating anxiety, tension and depression.
  • When relaxing in a spa, the brain releases endorphins that ease the pain, which have an overall relaxing effect and induce a good mood.
  • Lounging in a spa also helps during rehabilitation after an injury and has a preventive effect, increasing the body's striking power and improving the overall condition and muscle flexibility.

Relaxation

  • When in water you experience the feeling of weightlessness, the joints take a rest from the continuous effects of gravity since the body weight is decreased by 85-90% in the water.
  • The immersion of the body into a hot spa soothes and relaxes the body while the activity of the internal organs becomes slower - that is the thermal effect of hydrotherapy. The physical effect of hydrotherapy is short and long-term pain relief.
  • The spas hydrotherapy benefits for rehabilitation after physical sport and exercise. A hot soak along with a massage diminishes lactic acid that can build up in the muscles during an activity, causing stiffness and pain.
  • Sports massage in a spa has a positive impact on speed, flexibility and strength and its faster regeneration, also helping to decrease tension prior to the performance.

Therapy

  • A spa also has a healing benefit - apart from other things, it helps in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatic pain. People suffering from painful joints are recommended to have a morning soak in a hot tub prior to commencing the daily activities.
  • Positive effects of hydrotherapy over the health of the people suffering from type II diabetes have been recently discovered.
  • The regular use of spa can even help avoid problems with insomnia.

Massage systems

  • All of the Universum Spas have separate water and air systems. Whilst water massage has more of a deep tissue massage character, affecting the relaxation of muscles and joints, air massage has a rather soft tissue impact with effects over skin receptors.
  • The air jets have nine outlets through which soothing air bubbles are delivered into the water; air massage transmits the relaxing vibrations into the whole body.
  • The water jets have a various number of outlets with different diameters in order to create directional, rotational or pulsating water current, starting with soft massage to pointed acupressure massage.

Simply pleasure. The very best thing, in our customers' opinion, is the moments spent with our nearest and dearest in the pleasant setting of their spa. Enjoy your day!
