About
Hydrotherapy
Throughout history, humankind has sought relief from
the workday through relaxation and fellowship. For centuries,
one of the most refreshing and healthy ways of combining
the two has traditionally been through the utilization
of the spa. From ancient communal baths to modern, jetted
tubs, the healing power of water has been harnessed to
relieve stress and provide a setting for relaxed interaction
and renewal. You can be assured that the moments of relaxation
you spend in your Artesian spa will be matched by the
knowledge that you purchased the finest home hydrotherapy
product available on the market.

Hydrotherapy
is an age-old form of healing and stress relief.
It
is based on three simple principles: heat,
buoyancy and
water movement, or hydro-massage.
Heat dilates
the blood vessels and increases circulation in
the body. This enables enzymes
and endorphins (the body’s national pain
relievers) to work more rapidly and efficiently
on areas of the body, such as muscles and joints
that have been strained, injured or stressed.
Heat also enables the cells to more easily rid
themselves of metabolic waste, which is replaced
by oxygen and the body’s natural nutrients. |
Buoyancy is
a simple physics issue. The body weighs 90 percent less
when suspended in water. Specific gravity is reduced, and
pressure on the spine, muscle groups, ligaments and joints
is significantly eased.
Hydro-massage, the delivery of
moving water to various parts of the body, is the final
and critical ingredient
to this process. All body systems benefit from hydro-massage.
Stress, injury and poor posture can all cause muscle spasms
and pain. Specifically directed jets of water stimulate
and relax trigger points, which are highly sensitive Artesian
Spas Relaxation“nodules” in the spasming muscle.
Massage has also been shown to improve flexibility, increase
circulation, and provide restorative benefits.
Hydrotherapy is more than an unparalleled method of relieving
stress and stress-related conditions, such as high blood
pressure, headaches and chronic pain. It benefits every
part of the body, including the skeletal, respiratory,
circulatory, neuromuscular, and digestive systems.
Hydrotherapy has been proven to be especially effective
in reducing the pain of arthritis, tendonitis / bursitis
and inflammation resulting from sports injuries and overexertion.
The moist heath is extremely beneficially to those suffering
from respiratory ailments, such as congestion, chronic
bronchitis and asthma.

Increased
circulation derived from hydro-massage improves
digestive processes;
waste
and metabolic by-products are more easily eliminated,
and lymph is moved more efficiently through the
body, strengthening the immune system. With hydrotherapy,
it isn’t simply a matter of grabbing a relaxing
few minutes that are over as soon as you climb
out of the spa; you get an experience that will
have
far-reaching effects on the quality of your life.
Rarely
do health and pleasure come together like they
do in an Artesian spa. While many may think
of hydrotherapy tubs as a luxury item, reserved
for those that have the means to enjoy the fine
life, for others a hydrotherapy tub is an indispensable
part of making it through the day.

The
scientifically proven benefits associated with regular
therapeutic hot tub use are beyond dispute and even prescribed
by doctors for treatment specific ailments. Aliments such
as stress, arthritic pain, fibromyalgia, restless sleep,
and type 2 diabetes, have all been treated with hydrotherapy.
