Well Being

The simple act of immersing yourself in hot water sets in motion a wonderful chain of events that underscores just how closely our health and well-being is attuned to water.

In hot water, your circulation adjusts to create a slight increase in blood pressure and blood rushes to the skin, where it's further warmed. The blood vessels expand and the pressure drops back down. The warmed blood penetrates deeper into the tissue below the skin, bringing more oxygen. As more vessels expand, you notice a soothing sensation and your muscles start to relax.

Massaging

In addition your body becomes more efficient at cleansing carbon dioxide from muscles and your immune system kicks in, increasing antibody production, and endorphins - the body's natural painkillers -- are released, melting away aches and pains.

Add to this the therapeutic stimulation of Beachcomber's high-pressure jet nozzles pulsing hot water onto your sore muscles and joints.

The massaging action on body tissue blocks pain input by acting as a counter-irritant on nerve endings. Clustered jets massage specific groups of muscles simultaneously - such as the neck, shoulders, back or feet.

You can direct jets to deliver bubbling water streams in a moving pattern to provide progressive relaxation of a muscle group. You can also use specialized massage inserts to put just the right amount of pressure on specific areas just as a massage varies muscle manipulation for maximum effect.

Stress Busting

Managing stress is a key to good mental and physical health.

Soaking in a Beachcomber Hot Tub three times a week for 20 minutes at a time is a wonderful way to relieve stress and restore your sense of well-being.

The consequences of not managing stress - even "good" stress like the birth of child or a promotion - are well documented, from headaches to insomnia to serious illness. New research is showing just how pervasive and lasting the damage can be.
