When you think of stress relief, your mind probably goes right to a massage. And while that can be helpful, you have to shell out cash at the local spa in order to get stress relief treatment. If you’ve got a hot tub in your backyard, you’ve got a gateway to stress relief right at your fingertips and a few feet away.
There’s a wealth of physical and emotional benefit in your hot tub just waiting to be taken advantage of.
Stress can wreak physical havoc on your body in ways you may not realize. Many times, your physical state and physical ailments are the result of emotional problems, more so than any physical cause. A MasterSpas hot tub or swim spa in your backyard could be the key to getting to the bottom of your stress problem.
To help you get the most out of your MasterSpas hot tub, we’ve put together some information to have in your arsenal to best tackle your stress and accompanying pain problems.
Physical Signs of Stress
While you may think stress is all in your head, it has been known to cause serious harm to the physical body as well. It can cause chest pain, headaches, upset stomachs, panic or anxiety attacks, and chronic pain. If left unchecked, you can develop chronic heart and anxiety problems, depression, weight gain or loss, and constant fatigue.
Effects of Water
It has been found that the buoyancy of water can actually reduce stress levels. The weightlessness you experience in a hot tub, accompanied with relaxing warm water, can actually alleviate the effects of stress on your body and help you re-center yourself. Doing this repeatedly as part of your routine can have a positive effect on stress.
Relaxation
The American Heart Association suggests 15-20 minutes of quiet relaxation daily as a way to reduce stress levels and promote healthier hearts and bodies. Your spa can provide a great place to be quiet and mindful for a period out of your day while stress starts to dwindle. This can further bleed into your every day, hectic life, and help you remain focused and present.
