Hot Water therapy

This October, Physical therapists everywhere are excited to celebrate a profession that has helped millions of people feel better and live stronger by decreasing pain, improving mobility and restoring function. National Physical Therapy month aims to educate and inform the public on the importance of physical therapy as a tool for improving the quality of life of people suffering from a variety of debilitating conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia and even neuropathic pain.
“Physical therapy is an effective pain management strategy and instrumental in helping people lead happier, more fulfilling lives,” said Patrick Walsh, president of The Above Ground Pool & Spa Company. “By helping people more effectively manage and deal with pain, improve mobility and improve health, physical therapists are making it possible for millions of people to lead happier, more fulfilling lives,”. Here are a few things to consider: Hot Tub Hydrotherapy – Adding hot tub hydrotherapy to a physical therapy program is an excellent way to enhance pain management and increase results. Heat, massage and buoyancy created by a hot tub provide immediate pain relief and overall relaxation. Consistent use of a hot tub builds upon the work a physical therapist begins by keeping joints and muscles flexible, loose and relaxed. And for those times when a therapist is not available, a hot tub eliminates pain instantly and naturally. Plus, as an added benefit, using a hot tub in the evenings can promote sleep, giving the body the chance to repair, refresh and revitalize naturally.
“We think this is a great opportunity to actually show men and women the positive effects that soaking in a hot tub spa can have in terms of improving the overall quality of their lives. That’s why we will provide free hot tub test soaks at our location. We also keep a swim spa operating to show the benefits of both exercise and hot water therapy.
