If you have had a long and tiring day at work, what's the most relaxing thing
you want to do as soon as you get home? Did you think of a long soak in bath tub
filled with warm water? They say that "what’s good for the body is good for the
soul" and this statement shouldn’t be ignored! With this in mind, you might just
want to check out something known as a thermal bath. Used mostly for
hydrotherapy, thermal baths are commonly referred to as jetted baths, whirl pool
baths or Jacuzzi. Thermal baths can provide your aching body with the kind of
relaxation and pampering it needs.
The Jetted Whirlpool Tub
If you are thinking of buying a hot tub, you need to decide if you want an air
jet hot tub or a water jet hot tub. Water jet whirlpool tubs have large openings
that cause the water to come out strong. The sensations generated by water jets
can vary from a gentle nudge to a hardcore massage, depending on the speed of
the motor. Air jets, on the other hand, have openings that are small. Thus, air
jets blast the water more gently. The motor of an air jet hot tub system is
quieter than a water jet hot tub system. Since air jets do not re-circulate the
bath water, you can use bath oils or have bubble baths.
Jet Bath Massages
Frequently used in naturopathy centers, jet baths provide hydrotherapy where the
carbon dioxide is used to slow down the heart activity and reduce stress. This
type of therapy also reduces blood pressure and causes you to relax comfortably.
The Hydro massage in a hot tub where the water temperature is at or around 35
degrees Celsius has a very nice massaging effect on the body, which is relaxing
and even has a healing effect on the muscles and joints while also improving
blood circulation. With an underwater jet massage, the therapist will actually
gently massage your main muscle groups using a strong stream of water with a
temperature of 35 to 37 degrees. This type of underwater traction bath, which
was developed in Hungary, is one of the treatments employed for those with
spinal problems.
