Hot Tub Massage Therapy and Fibromyalgia

How can a hot tub help with fibromyalgia?  First off, you need to understand what fibromyalgia is.  According to the MAYO CLINIC website: "Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals. Symptoms sometimes begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering event. Women are much more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men. Many people who have fibromyalgia also have tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and depression. While there is no cure for fibromyalgia, a variety of medications can help control symptoms. Exercise, relaxation and stress-reduction measures also may help. [READ MORE]

It's a fact, using a hot tub helps with pain relief.  Whether that pain is due to an injury, or a condition like fibromyalgia.  However, fibromyalgia is not the only health condition that a hot tub can help with.

Hot Tubs and Circulation

Hot tubs improve circulation.  The combination of heat, buoyancy, and massage all work together to allow better blood flow throughout your body. With better blood flow there is also better health.  That's one of the reasons exercise helps improve health.  It circulates older blood through the system and replenishes it.  Using a hot tub is not a substitute for exercise, mind you.  it is an add-on to exercise.  A post workout soak in a hot tub helps you minimize or even eliminate post-workout aches and pains, particularly on the next day.  Our next article series will explore these points further.  For now, know that finishing a workout with time in a hot tub is a great idea.

So consult a physician before beginning any sort of exercise program.  Eat healthy and get plenty of rest. And reduce stress in your life.  Improve your circulation in good ways, and pamper yourself whenever you can.  And one of the best ways you can help with a lot of this?  Buy a hot tub in Glendale.
