5 HEALTH BENEFITS OF INSTALLING A SPA

May 8, 2016
Category: Tips and Ideas. 

Imagine coming home from a long day at work and unwinding in your very own luxury spa and swimming pool in the comfort and privacy of your own backyard. Sure, a spa is a great way to relax and leave the day behind, but did you know spas and hot tubs also offer a wide variety of health benefits, too?

Our ancient ancestors had it right. For centuries, they used the soothing, hot water spa for a variety of different ailments. Today, many healthcare professionals recommend spas to promote overall good health.

1.  Relief of Arthritis. Warm water stimulates blood flow to sore joints and muscles, reducing inflammation and pain. It also enables the joints to move better and widens the range of motion.Spas, Pools, and Arthritis by The Arthritis Foundation states, “Regular sessions in your hot tub help keep joints moving. This restores and preserves strength and flexibility, and also protects your joints from further damage.” As with arthritis, hydrotherapy has helped for sports injuries, joint pain and even in some cases of fibromyalgia, especially since total body emersion is possible in a spa.

2.  Diabetic Help. The New England Journal of Medicine published a study showing how a group of type 2 diabetics improved with hot tub therapy. Since the spa stimulates the blood flow in similar patterns as exercise does, it replaced some of the exercise needed to improve their health. Further studies at the McKee Medical Center in Colorado showed patient’s average blood sugar levels were reduced by 13 percent while partaking in a hot water spa therapy study allowing some patients to even reduce their insulin.

3.  Healthy for the Heart. The American Heart Association states that, “heat from hot water spas leads to a process called vasodilation, or the widening of blood vessels.” This allows less pressure on the blood vessels and can actually lower blood pressure even though the heart is pumping harder, whereas exercise will often raise blood pressure.

4.  Sleep Inducing. Many studies have shown the benefits of soaking in hot water before going to bed. There are a few different thoughts as to why, one being the body temperature drop a person experiences when leaving the water works as a signal that it’s time to sleep. Another thought is because of the relaxing affect hot water has on the body, the body and mind are in a state that promotes better sleep.

5.  Stress Relieving. This is the most commonly known spa affect. The science behind this relaxing remedy has to do with hormones. This works in a couple of different ways. One is because warm water reduces the hormones that cause stress. The other is that when stress is alleviated, the body secretes hormones that causes the muscles to relax.

Invest in your health with a beautiful, relaxing spa you will enjoy all year-round.

"Outstanding job in all areas."

Charles

"Very pleased with the value, quality, customer service."

Brian

"This is my fourth pool with Blue Haven. I like their work and I like their customer service. I like everything about them. I have Blue Haven build two pools in Texas and two in California. And, I had another pool remodeled. They have always been great to work with. They answer any question I have and they tell me things I would have never thought to ask. Anytime I have a problem, they come right out to solve it, or they tell me how do it myself."

Jack M.

"Blue Haven Pools was a fine experience overall. They did both the pool installation and the service after. The entire project was good."

Andy & Joan U.

"My husband and I would like to commend one of your employees, Doug Gorsuch. He was so personable, likable and very knowledgeable about his craft. We never felt pressured about our purchase. His customer service skills are exceptional! He has exceeded our expectations!"

Maureen & Jerry

"We had Blue Haven Pools do our pool. I was real happy with the workmanship. It is beautiful. The paved stone walls and the waterfall look great. I am extremely happy with the quality."

Kent U.

"These guys are awesome.They got my pool up and running quick. I would also like to take this time to thank Jim and Zack for their services. Zack my family wants to say thanks for getting the pool ready just in time for the summer break. I can't see why anybody would have a problem with the service you guys provide.Thanks again your customer for life."

Richard

"Blue Haven has a great price and great quality work. They also have great service, form the initial contact all the way to the end of the service, when they collect that last payment. After that, they've got the money, so they don't have to pay too much attention. In my opinion, if they want to improve, they have to provide more after the service followup."

David M.

"Blue Haven Pools came in, and said they could do the job. It went pretty smooth. There were some minor details that were not their fault, because we had to wait for city inspectors and things like that. However, we still got it done within the time limit. They did a good job, and I am satisfied with how it looks. They are timely. Blue Haven Pools has been around for a long time, and I didn't see any complaints, so they have a pretty good and solid reputation."

Charlie C.

"I recommend Blue Haven Pools every opportunity I get. They have been able to gain maybe 8 or 9 referrals from me. I especially appreciate Doug. He is the designer and salesperson that I worked with, and he is awesome. He is very patient with customers, he explains everything clearly, and he is reachable. I would give him a perfect rating. "

Casandra M.

"Blue Haven Pool Builders was just overall pretty good. We did have some issues during construction but they corrected it. We found out about them through an advertisement. It's been three years. Blue Haven Pool Builders was just fair to deal with. It was good!"

Keith F.

"I am a general contractor and I have been using Blue Haven Pools on a professional basis for several years. I had previously used another pool company but I was unsatisfied with their attitudes, so I got a hold of Tyler and I have been using Blue Haven Pools since. I would not use any other business for my pools; that is how much I like them."

Wayne T.

"We love our pool! We have received so many compliments on the design and colors. Needless to say, I give your name to everyone that sees it."
