Hot Tubs Improve Health, What Does This Mean for Me?
Recent studies by the National Aquatics and Sports Medicine Institute and others offer a look at the enormous potential for improving health and wellness through aquatic therapy, especially warm water immersion such as hot tub therapy. For some time there has been evidence that suggested that it was good to soak in warm water. Now science is actually proving that warm water immersion improves the function of our autonomic nervous system leading to decreased stress and a greater sense of balance and overall wellness. Water also has a significant beneficial effect on our heart and circulation. It improves blood flow to the muscles which reduces pain and speeds healing. Warm water relieves symptoms of diabetes, lowers blood pressure, and may even make you smarter by increasing brain circulation and function.
They’re finally getting to the bottom of why warm water makes us feel so good. Ongoing studies in aquatic therapy will certainly uncover more valuable information about the health benefits of warm water. For now it would appear that if you are not spending some time relaxing in a hot tub that you are probably missing out on your chance for better health.
This is the final installment of a 7 part article series. Please visit the Bullfrog Spas Hot Tub Blog for preceding articles.
Never has history been this relaxing! This informative time line takes you through the history of the hot tub in a fun and informative way. Pay attention, there will be a test!
Many people think that buying a hot tub costs too much. We believe you can’t afford not to have a hot tub. Here are statistics showing that owning a hot tub for a 5 year span will cost owners less than other wellness and relaxing activities.
Bullfrog Spas donates a Model 682 8-person hot tub at cost to raise much needed funding for Primary Children’s Medical Center
Riverton, UT (Vocus) July 27, 2010
Bullfrog Spas Model 682 8-Person Hot Tub
Bullfrog International is happy to have the opportunity to donate at cost a top of the line Bullfrog Spa to aid in fund raising efforts for Primary Children’s Medical Center, a Salt Lake City children’s hospital serving children with severe illness and acute medical needs.
The upcoming fundraiser will directly benefit Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Primary Children’s Medical Center is the premier children’s hospital in the Intermountain West, serving children from Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, and beyond.
The impressive Model 682 Bullfrog Spa, Bullfrog’s largest spa model which seats up to 8 adults and retails for close to $11,000, will be on display at a charity golf tournament from July 29-31, 2010. The fund raising auction will be on July 30 at the Homestead Resort in Midway, Utah where the tournament will be held. The proceeds from this auction go to Primary Children’s Medical Center to fund critical medical and recovery programs for children.
Bullfrog was contacted by Steve Sorenson of Smith’s Food and Drug, a major sponsor of the Children’s Miracle Network, requesting the donation. Mr. Sorenson, who is heavily involved in the fundraising efforts for this event, commented, “We appreciate donations like this amazing Bullfrog Spa because, not only does it directly benefit the kids by bringing in thousands of dollars, but the person who buys the hot tub gets something of value that actually improves their own health.”
Bullfrog International is proud to manufacture hot tubs and spas that promote a healthy lifestyle. Recent studies have actually shown that hot tub therapy provides some very important health benefits. Researchers at the National Aquatics and Sports Medicine Institute are finding that soaking in a hot tub, like the Bullfrog Spa Model 682, provides relief of stress by bringing the autonomic nervous system into balance, which leads directly to improved physical and mental function, a real sense of calm and wellness, and better overall health.
Immersion in the warm swirling waters of hot tubs has also been shown to increase circulation, promote better sleep, relieve symptoms of diabetes, and to reduce pain and swelling in muscles and joints after workouts or injury.
Bullfrog International and Primary Children’s Medical Center hope to continue to work together to provide critical medical care to kids in need and health and wellness to everyone.

In addition to all of the functional benefits of a SpaVault in-ground spa installation, the aesthetics that it makes possible are a landscape designer’s dream. Many Bullfrog Spa customers have really enjoyed freeing up some extra patio space by installing their new Bullfrog Spa in a SpaVault just off of their patio or elsewhere in a secluded and serene place in the yard. Having the spa in the ground or partially in the ground frees up sight-lines and keeps the hot tub from sticking out or looking out of place in any way. Some landscape designers pair the SpaVault installation with a Bullfrog Spa that is fitted with the Custom Ready Cabinet.
