March 21, 2008, Newsletter Issue #95: Hot Tubs Relieve Arthritis Pain

Tip of the Week

The Arthritis Foundation is so sold on the benefits of hot tubs for arthritis pain they recommend daily use of a spa to ease pain and increase range of motion and flexibility. The hot water helps increase circulation, but the buoyancy of the tub also temporarily relieves joint strain and friction. So, when you sit in a hot tub and feel your pain subside, it's not your imagination. The jets can promote healing of damaged muscle tissue too. Hot tubs are also much easier to enter and exit than most bath tubs, and they keep the water temperature constant, which allows continued pain relief.
