Magnetic Therapy in a Hot Tub
Magnetic therapy, also known as magnotherapy or magnet therapy, is an alternative and complementary therapies technique to provide natural pain relief. One of the most popular techniques in complementary therapies, magnetic therapy users claim it is one of the fastest and most natural pain relief methods. Magnetic therapy products available include bracelets, jewellery and straps for areas such as the knees and the back. Around the world, millions of people use magnets as a therapy and natural pain relief for ailments and injuries including backaches, joint pains, headaches, sport injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome. Water can also be magnetised for drinking as it is believed that magnetised water is beneficial for detoxing.
All of these injuries - and more besides- can also be helped with a hydrotherapy spa or hot tub. To combine these therapy techniques, Bay Spas offers some hot tub models with magnets for magnetic therapy built in around the jets, magnetising the water as it is released. Hot tubs offering magnetic therapy include the LSX range as well as selected models in the Twilight range.
As well as magnetising the water as it is released into the hot tub, the magnets will also offer magnetic therapy exposure benefits when using the spa in the same manner as products including magnetic therapy bracelets and straps. Exposure to magnets through the use of magnetic therapy is believed to be beneficial to the circulatory, nervous and endocrine (gland) systems. The magnetic therapy is thought to increase the electrical conductivity of the blood, improving circulation which allows more oxygen to be provided throughout the body and allows for more carbon dioxide to be removed. Capillaries and the walls of the blood vessels are also believed to relax whilst exposed to the magnetic field which will also help to improve blood flow and allow more toxins to be removed from the body.
Natural pain relief from a hot tub
Magnetic therapy is not just used as natural pain relief, but also as a preventative measure, with people wearing magnetic bracelets and jewellery every day in order to support and improve their immune system and overall health. Regular use of a Bay Spas hot tub with magnets built in can also offer similar benefits whilst also providing the well-known benefits of a hot tub including relaxation and health benefits. Hot tubs and spas are a perfect secondary treatment for symptomatic pain issues from long-term problems including arthritis and sciatica with the use of hydrotherapy techniques and from exposure to magnetic therapy. Joint pain and muscles undergoing rehabilitation benefit from the warmth and therapeutic benefits of a hot tub and are believed to respond well to magnetic therapy, reducing healing time and relieving pain.
Besides magnetic therapy offering a natural pain relief, built-in magnets are beneficial for the servicing and upkeep of hot tubs. It is suggested that treating the water with magnets can help reduce limescale from building up which is imperative for hot tubs and spas. Researchers at the University of Cranfield found that the amount of chlorine required to kill bacteria in a pool could be reduced by 30 percent through the use of magnets.
