Hot Tub Hydrotherapy: Top 3 Benefits of Daily Water Immersion

By: By Kevin Mecum (Senior Digital Marketing Specialist, Watkins Wellness/Caldera Spas) Right after we got married, my wife suggested we buy a hot tub. She had a hot tub in her backyard growing up, and her family used it regularly as a therapeutic and motivating way to put health and self-care front and center in their lives. Nearly every Saturday morning, they all soaked in the hot tub to warm up before taking a hike in the hills nearby. Her parents understood the important role their hot tub played in their wellness practices, so they instilled that same understanding in their kids, along with a commitment to an active lifestyle. Today, my wife and I support each other in that same commitment, using our own hot tub every morning as a way to kickstart the day. We step out of our 20-minute soaks feeling energized and empowered to keep making…

HOT TUB SAFETY TIPS

Hot tub time means family time – but there are some safety tips you must follow. Infants and toddlers should not be permitted in a hot tub at all as babies’ thin skin makes them more susceptible to overheating. Also, since little ones have very little control over bodily functions, spas become unsanitary almost instantly when “accidents” happen. No young child should be allowed in a hot tub until they can stand on the bottom and have their head remain completely out of the water. Children who are big enough to be in a hot tub should not use it for more than five minutes at a time, especially at the maximum temperature of 104 degrees. Dropping the spa temperature to 98 degrees would allow for longer soaks – but never more than 15 minutes at a time. It is also recommended that young children avoid full body immersion, choosing…
