Health Benefits - BarefootSpas PL8 Owner's Manual

~ Health Benefits ~

The health benefits attributable to the spa are both mental and physical. The heat, buoyancy, and massaging
characteristics of the spa work together to produce a euphoric sense of comfort and relaxation.
Stress and Stress-Related Conditions
Sitting in hot water causes endorphins to be released, which melts away the aches and pains. The massaging
characteristics of the strategically placed jets together with the heat of the water alleviates the tension and
allows the body to more effectively cleanse the carbon dioxide in its muscles (CO2 is what gives muscles the
fatigued sensation).
Better Sleep
Soaking in a spa before bedtime not only has the ability to help induce sleep...it can also provide for a deeper,
more relaxed sleep.
Healing
The hydrotherapy associated with spas has the tremendous ability to alleviate the fatigue and soreness that
muscles build up from exercise or just from one's daily routine. When used properly, the spa has the ability to
lower blood pressure, increase circulation, and speed up the body's ability to cleanse out toxins.
Arthritis and Chronic Pain
Spending time in a spa is a great way to apply heat to arthritic joints. In fact, getting in the spa for 10-15
minutes in the morning is a great way to ease up the joints when they are generally at their worst.
Diabetes
Please understand that a spa is not a 'cure-all' for people with diabetes. Studies have indicated, however, that
sitting in a spa can help improve blood sugar levels, help promote weight loss, and improve sleep patterns in
people suffering from Type 2 diabetes.
Time for Family and Friends
A spa provides access to all the therapeutic benefits listed above and more...why not share them with loved
ones?The spa is a perfect place to relax with family members and catch up on what's on everyone's mind.
The spa also serves as a nice environment when entertaining friends.
