Wellness and Health Benefits

The steps to Health and Wellness have never been so easy or so much fun! No need to go to beauty salons and exclusive retreats. Wellness can be fun, entertaining, and… relaxing. Especially when your steps to wellness include your Bullfrog Spa®. Spas bring wellness home where you can enjoy it at the time that is most convenient for you. Spas help to prevent illness and help you to live life in a healthy way. A Bullfrog Spa will add years to your life by strengthening your heart, reducing your stress, allowing you to enjoy life, and taking time for those people that matter most.

Make your life easier with hot water. You really can reduce swelling, manage pain, heal faster, sleep better, and feel happier. After exercising, hot water reduces soreness by 40 percent according to Men’s Health Magazine.* Hot water decreases swelling by the pressure that water exerts on our bodies. Improve your joint health as water immersion lessens the impact of gravity on joints. We feel lighter in water and that feeling can be very liberating and relaxing. When recovery exercise is combined with water, patients experience an increased range of motion and decreased levels of pain.** Start enjoying the benefits of hot water in your very own Bullfrog Spa.

Your Bullfrog Spa will help you to sleep at night. A hot tub can solve some of the causes of insomnia like stress, anxiety, and muscle tension. A scientific study showed that people that immerse themselves in warm water before bed, fall asleep more easily.* Take advantage of sleeping more soundly by taking time for yourself in the only spa with JetPaks.

Care for Your Heart

Healthy living, including exercise and your spa, improves the strength of your heart. Our heart stretches when immersed in water just as it does during exercise. The pressure of the water pushes blood toward the chest cavity and increases blood flow by about 33%. Arteries and veins dilate (expand) to carry more blood. Besides strengthening our heart, this increase in blood flow is what causes us to recover faster from tired muscles or injury. Take care of your most important muscle with hot water in your Bullfrog Spa.*

*Consult a physician before using a spa if you have heart trouble.

Deal with the stress of life in a healthy and natural way in your Bullfrog Spa. Scientific evidence shows that immersing yourself in hot-water can naturally reduce the effects of stress and help to improve mental health.* Separate yourself from your sources of stress by soaking in a Bullfrog Spa and reduce anxiety. An energizing effect will happen and you will better be able to face the challenges of the day.

Arthritis affects more than 70 million people in the USA. The Arthritis Foundation recommends that warm water exercise “keep joints moving, restores and preserves flexibility and strength, and protects joints against further damage. It improves your coordination, endurance and your ability to perform daily tasks (such as walking or writing).” The Arthritis Foundation also provides a useful guide for purchasing a spa. At Bullfrog Spas.. we are confident that you will find many useful JetPaks to target your sore and stiff areas.
