Swim Spa Benefits
Here’s how the stress-free and supportive environment of water helps to heal, recover and rehabilitate, and help manage some common health conditions:
- Improved Mental Health
Any exercise releases endorphins, reducing stress and increasing happiness.
- Healthier Heart
Water workouts improve cardiovascular health and build a stronger heart. Swimming can lower blood pressure in older adults.
- Stronger Bones
Reduce the risk of osteoporosis by exercising to strengthen bones and muscles. Different current speeds in a swim spa let you slowly increase the water flow as you gain confidence and strength.
- Increased Muscle Strength
Similar to building stronger bones, pool exercises improve muscular strength.
- Better Flexibilty
Exercise, especially swimming, improves leg, hip, neck and arm flexibility.
- Reach a Healthy Weight
Working out and swimming in your own swim spa is both a comfortable and convenient way to exercise. It helps to tone up and reduce body fat.
- Chronic Pain
Aquatic therapy in a home current pool relieves stress by creating a relaxing warm water experience for someone dealing with chronic pain. With minimized pressure on joints and less pain while exercising, it’s easier to complete rehab, recovery and daily exercise routines needed to stay healthy.
- Rheumatic Conditions
One way to manage the chronic pain of rheumatic conditions is to find ways to relax joints, muscles, and tendons. The warm water in a swim spa helps minimize both stiffness and stress. Due to the weightlessness of the body in water, there will be no pressure on your joints, and therefore, no additional pain. Exercise by walking slowly against the supportive current to work on balance or turn up the speed of the current to swim, run, and get a full body workout.
- Parkinson’s Disease
Hydrotherapy is becoming a more common method for rehabilitation at physical therapy clinics, and these same exercises can be done in your own home swim spa to help minimize Parkinson's symptoms.
- Neuromuscular Conditions
A swim spa can help with the treatment of neuromuscular conditions. Due to water’s buoyancy, it is easier to move and there is minimal pain and joint stress. This helps build the confidence to exercise often to help mitigate common symptoms such as:
- Muscle spasms and weak muscles
- Pain
- Joint range of motion
- Poor Balance
- Impaired Coordination
