Hot Tubs Offer More Than Just Health Benefits December 1st, 2009
I’m an RN and a few years back, I managed to injure my back when I attempted to life a 350 pound patient off the floor. I had to take leave of work while I went through 4 months of physical therapy. I went back to work, but lifting was no longer required, but my back was sill bothering me. I even avoided bending over when ever possible. My husband and I recently moved to San Francisco and I thought this would be a perfect time to purchase and install a hot tub in our big back yard.
I’ve heard about the marvellous benefits that a hot tub provides and I’ve been checking out all the information on the Internet concerning the different types of hot tubs. My husband also suffers from diabetes, and not only will a hot tub benefit me, it apparently does wonders for diabetes type II. After much consideration, I finally went with choosehottubsdirect.com to be the company to provide me all that is necessary to get, install and help me maintain a hot tub.
My back has never felt better! And my husbands neuropathy has been greatly reduced. I also, recently, had foot surgery and my doctor recommended whirlpool therapy, and I told him about my marvelous hot tub and the foot jets, and he said that would be perfect. I didn’t have to be out of pocket for physical therapy or travel to a medical building, because my physical therapy was right in my backyard.
We invited a friend, who has Multiple Sclerosis, to come by and use our hot tub. At first she was leery, she told us her doctor thought it might be too stimulating, but we coaxed her in and adjusted the jets so we could all enjoy the gentle massage, she completely loved the hot tub! When she called us the next morning, she told us she had the best nights sleep ever. We also invited a friend, who has high blood pressure, over to use our hot tub, but he told us that due to his blood pressure, he’s not allowed to use the hot tub. I told him that we keep our temperature at 99 to 100 degrees and that I’m a Registered Nurse and I’ll check his blood pressure before and after he gets in. He agreed to try, once he was in the hot tub, I checked his blood pressure and it actually went down.
Both my friends now come by frequently to use our hot tub. My husband and I use it every night and our health has improved, our lives have improved and the best benefit of all is how happy and relaxed we are ever since we installed our hot tub.
