Finding ways to keep active, no matter your age is important for numerous reasons. It can lower your risk of heart disease, improve your balance and support mental health too.
Swim spas are an excellent way to incorporate gentle but effective movement into your life while allowing you to relax too. Research has proven their many benefits for athletes but many of these apply to seniors as well.
1. Improve immune system
As we age, our immune system finds it harder to battle against the many germs and viruses present every single day. Hydrotherapy has been scientifically proven to help boost immunity, by stimulating circulation, dilating blood vessels and helping the body to release protective hormones.
2. Reduce muscle ache
The combination of warm water and massaging jets can be heaven for aching muscles and inflammation. This makes a swim spa the ideal location for gentle movement too, giving you the confidence to keep up with a regular exercise routine without the fear of pain. Over time, this can improve strength and coordination, reducing the risk of falls or accidents.
3. Reduce high blood pressure
While we recommend speaking to your doctor if you experience hypertension, short bursts in the swim spa have been shown to lower blood pressure. By causing your blood vessels to dilate, it improves circulation and moves build-up away from the heart.
4. Improved sleep
Immersing yourself in warm water before bed could lead to more restorative sleep. By raising and then lowering your body temperature, your body recognises the need to relax and signals the release of sleep-related hormones more effectively.
5. Lower stress levels
Floating weightlessly in a spa of water not only relieves physical stress on the body – it can help to counteract mental stress too. Numerous studies have proved the benefits of hot water immersion on mental health, making it a brilliant way to naturally reduce stress.
6. Aids with rehabilitation
Swim spas have been shown to help relieve discomfort linked to many common conditions, including arthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. They are also an effective way to aid in the recovery process after surgery, reducing swelling and boosting blood circulation collectively.
Whether you’re 25 or 85, swim spa hydrotherapy is proven to deliver a host of results when used alongside regular exercise and a healthy diet.
