Whirlpool Tubs Provide Hydrotherapy For Homeowners

(HIT) - No doubt that with today’s busy and often stressful lifestyles more homeowners are looking for ways to relieve the pressures of the day in the comfort of their own home. Studies indicate that more and more people are looking to create a spa experience at home and sales of whirlpools and home spa products are reaching new levels. People want to feel pampered and rejuvenated.

“My clients now view the bathroom as an escape from day-to-day stress,” said Sharon Armstrong, a Certified Kitchen/Bath Designer in Florida. “The whirlpool tub is one of the key elements of the well-appointed luxury bathroom. I think homeowners want customized whirlpool tubs not only because these larger tubs look elegant, but also because of the therapeutic benefits that hydrotherapy offers them.”

The benefits of hydrotherapy, also commonly known as “water-therapy” is one of the oldest, most inexpensive, and safest ways to treat common ailments or to relax and escape from the stress of day-to-day life. In fact the Arthritis Foundation and the National Sleep Foundation have maintained that there are physical benefits to relaxing in a whirlpool hydromassage. The Arthritis Foundation mentions that hydrotherapy using a whirlpool bath with multiple jets is an ideal way to relax tight muscles.

Kathy Adams, President of MTI Whirlpools, a leading manufacturer of customized whirlpool and soaker tubs stated, “With our whirlpool tubs, homeowners can specify the exact location of their jets in order to maximize the hydrotherapy effects of the pulsating water on the body. We have found that several customers position the jets in their whirlpool according to their specific aches and pains.”

Water healing at home couldn’t be simpler. According to hydrotherapy organizations, soaking or relaxing in baths and whirlpool tubs benefits the entire body. Bathers should set the water temperature at 90 to 95 degrees and soak in the bath with the water coming up to shoulder level. Some bathers might even want to try adding herbs to help soften and moisturize the skin. A hot bath that stimulates and relaxes the bather should last approximately 20 minutes.

According to health experts, another way to rejuvenate your body and relieve stress is through chromo-therapy. Chromotherapy is the use of light and color to gently bring about healing and relaxation. When combined with hydrotherapy, the effects of the entire bathing experience can be extremely soothing.

With both their whirlpool and soaker tubs, MTI Whirlpools offers two types of underwater accent lighting as options - the LED Light Effects and Accent Light. The LED Light Effects offer digitally color-changing underwater lighting with a variety of light shows. The Accent Light offer underwater lighting in a single color with clear, red, and blue lenses.

“MTI Whirlpools has the most extensive offerings of health and ‘therapy’ features of any whirlpool manufacturer in the market today,” said Kathy Adams. “Our Ultra Therapy whirlpool tub packages are ideal for people seeking to truly maximize the healing benefits of hydrotherapy and chromotherapy - something that is beneficial for every person in their day-to-day life.”
