6 Reasons to Install a Whirlpool Bath

It's been a long, hard day at work and the commute back home was tough. You've done the housework and cooked dinner, and are just about to slump in front of the TV. But wait ? is there a better way to relax, without leaving the comfort of your home? When you have a whirlpool bath in the bathroom, true relaxation is only a few steps away. Plus, whirlpool baths help deliver soothing health benefits and they are surprisingly cost-effective to install. Need more reasons? Here are six ideas to inspire you.

1. Benefit From Gentle Hydrotherapy?

A whirlpool bath is a hydrotherapy treatment as the pressurised water is directed at your muscles, resulting in a soothing massage while you enjoy the warm water. Whirlpool baths have been a common fixture in spas for decades, and are now being enjoyed in ordinary homes.

2. Enjoy Muscle Relaxation

The pressure of the water jets is directed at key muscles in the body that hold tension and stress. The action of the water is like a massage, unlocking pressure points and relieving tension in the muscles. A regular soak in a whirlpool bath prevents the build-up of tension in the muscles which can lead to long-term health problems associated with stress. A whirlpool tub helps reduce the pain associated with stiff muscles, muscles overused in the gym or fitness training, and conditions such as arthrit's. Ease joint pain with a simple soak in a whirlpool tub once a week.

3. Benefit from a Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage helps promote tissue rejuvenation and increases blood circulation around the body. This has a number of health benefits including the removal of impurities in the tissues and better energy levels.

4. Reduce Stress and Anxiety

Stress is a killer. When left unchecked, stress can build up to unmanageable levels and cause health problems like cardiovascular disease. Use a whirlpool bath as part of a plan to cut stress in your life. There is little more relaxing than soaking in bubbly water enjoying a gentle massage. You can also use the time to clear your head and think more clearly.

5. Sleep Better

If you have a whirlpool bath before you go to bed, studies show that you sleep more deeply. When you sleep more deeply you enjoy better emotional and physical health.

6. Benefit from Simple Soaking

Of course, when you have a whirlpool bath you also get all the benefits that a simple bath brings. The chance to close your eyes and drift off, or read a magazine in peace. A bath allows you some personal me-time, and can provide some much-needed respite from the demands of family or work. The warm water is relaxing and soothing, and you can add your favourite bath products to create a sensory space for tranquillity. If you don't want a massage then keep the jets turned off ? the whirlpool bath is a versatile piece of equipment for your bathroom.?
