Why Does Relaxing in a Legacy Spa Feel so Great?

Three Reasons: Warmth, Water Movement, and Buoyancy.

Sounds Simple Doesn't It?: However, even after years of study, doctors and physical therapist are only beginning to understand and document the way hydrotherapy massage can influence the body and mind. Legacy Spas listened to what doctors, physical therapist, chiropractors, and occupational therapists all over the country had to say. Here is what we found out about the true Benefits of Hydrotherapy.

Fact: Buoyancy is the key element of relaxation and stress relief. The body is immersed in water, your body becomes one tenth of its normal body weight.

Easing the Pain, The Healing Process: When you exercise, your muscles tend to develop thousands of microscopic tears, and lactic acid begins to build up in each muscle. This action will in fact lead to muscle fatigue and soreness. As the cells rebuild, each muscle tear becomes slightly stronger than the entire muscle was prior to exercise. However, when muscles are not use to exercise, and you over do it, or a sudden motion puts unusual stress on a muscle, the microscopic tears are larger than normal, and the lactic acid build up is much greater. The result is muscle discomfort, and in some cases even painful. Resting for 48 hours can often substantially complete the healing process. However, there is another way to ease the pain and even accelerate the natural healing process.

The Warm Massaging Action of a well designed Legacy Spa: Relaxing in a Legacy Spa will increase blood flow to the muscles. The result, the lactic acid is carried away from the muscles faster, easing fatigue. As tense muscles relax from the warm water massage, the pressure is released in the surrounding nerves and blood vessels, easing soreness and accelerating pain relief.

The Effects of Hydrotherapy on on Endorphins, Nerve Endings, and Muscles: Long before there was aspirin, the human body had a natural pain killing chemical, “Endorphins”. Research has shown that warm water hydrotherapy stimulates the release of natural endorphins. However, pain reduction is only a part of the healing process. Ultimately, the increase of blood flow brings more nutrients to the damaged cells. This action is what completes the healing process.

Fact: When the body is immersed in warm water, blood vessels nearest the skin relax, allowing more blood to flow. The results: Relief from fatigue-Faster tissue repair-and Accelerated pain relief.

Minimizing Stress and Increasing Awareness: Some stress is good, it can heighten the senses, speed reaction time, and help you feel more alert. However, to much stress, especially chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure, blockage of the learning process, and actually kill brain cells. Chronic stress can also effect the natural secretion of growth hormones, and has actually been known to accelerate the aging of the brain.

One solution to chronic stress is a Legacy Spa: The soothing motion of warm water can help relax tense muscles, reduce anxiety, and actually reduce blood pressure. The use of a Legacy Spa can induce feelings of euphoria, total relaxation, and tranquility in most people. We know that avoiding stress in today's high paced world is impossible, but dealing with it and minimizing the effects of stress are not.
