Using Hot Tubs For Back Problems

April 11th, 2008
For many people who suffer with back pain, they live in constant agony; a one hundred percent effective back pain relief cure has yet to be found but that does not mean that some easing of the discomfort cannot be found. Pain relief is possible with the medications available but that is all they do and the reason for the pain continues.While there are a host of prescription medications that help with pain relief, many are doing nothing more than masking the symptoms instead of tackling the underlying cause of the pain. Long term medication of pain killers is something that should be supervised as other problems can occur because of their continued use.

Using hydrotherapy can help.  Portable hot tubs give you the hot water to relax tight muscles and decrease pain.  Never use any hot tub without consulting a doctor.

It is not difficult to injure your back, especially if you are a manual worker but long term problems can also be the result of an accident; large numbers of people have caused permanent damage to their backs just by sitting poorly for long periods. It can also be caused if you are lifting heavy loads and usually characterized by a sharp pain to your lower back. There are a number of natural back pain relief methods that mean you will not have to rely on drugs.

Stretching can be effective at reducing back as it relaxes the muscles which are often tense. Reflexology, an ancient type of alternative medical treatment, uses the concept that areas of the body have corresponding regions on the feet that can benefit from massage; some are finding relief using this treatment for back pain and other conditions. Relaxing muscles and increasing the effectiveness of the circulatory system are two other reasons to use reflexology.

The Chinese medical art of acupuncture can also be used to help bring back pain relief, something which has only been recognized a short while in the West. Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the theory that all people have this energy which flows through them called ‘chi’ or ‘qi’. Chi is blocked in a sick body but needles inserted into specific points, ease many types of pain and the flow of energy. There are large numbers of people that use acupuncture on a regular basis and claim it works well for them providing pain relief; especially those who have what is termed a chronic condition.

A slower and gentler type of Yoga called Tai Chi, once again from China, is another method of back pain control. Tai Chi focuses on breathing techniques and is a great way to relax your back. Whilst it involves some stretching and breathing exercises it is not too strenuous which means that anyone, young or old can take part in Tai Chi. Regular exercise is also one of the best preventative medicines available and can help with back pain relief; it increases physical flexibility generally, but also of the spine, which can aid the prevention of future problems.

Arthritis and Portable Hot Tubs

December 2nd, 2007

I could say that Spa2Go and Spa-N-A-Box was great for people with arthritis.  It would be wrong for me to say that.  Many people with arthritic conditions can be helped by hydrotherapy.  However saying that all people with this affliction can be get relief by sitting in a hot tub.  This would be wrong to say.  Before you buy a hot tub ask your Doctor if it  is a good fit.  Some people can not take the circulation from the jets in the portable spa.  The water movement maybe to hard on you and cause more pain.  So although I would like to see you purchase a Spa2Go or a Spa-N-A-Box don’t do it unless your find out you should.

Spa-N-A-Box is Perfect for a Halloween Party

October 20th, 2007

Spa-N-A-Box can be used for a halloween pirate themed party.  The simulated red wood sides of the Spa-N-A-Box are ready made for creating a crows nest or a rum barrel.  To make it look like a crows nest from a pirate ship just attach a pole with the jolly rodger flag.  To create the look of a rum barrel simply tie a rope around your Spa-N-A-Box.  Add a chest and put junk jewelry inside to help with pirate theme.  You can also use chocolate coins on the food table for more decoration.  Having a coconut carved with a face can be a great addition to your decorations.

Food Ideas for Your Hot Tub Party

October 4th, 2007

Ham with a pineapple glaze would keep in the theme.  A Hawaiian meal may include kabobs.  They can be cooked on an open grill.  Pork with fresh vegetables cut into bite size pieces is easy to make.  Fish is also something you could do.  It can get expensive.  Hope these meal ideas help from Portablehottubsnow.com

Hot tub party

September 29th, 2007

    First I want to say hello to everyone.  Let the fun begin! 

    My first idea for a great theme party is Hawaiian luau.  The inflatable palm trees makes any backyard look like you’re on the beach they  can be set around the portable hot tub.  If you don’t want to spend the money for that, you can use pictures of palm trees from magazines with the same result.  If you have them enlarged you can hang on a clothes line.  Costumes can  also help set the mood.  One quick and easy costume is a Lei and a flowered or colorful shirt. 

      Tiki torches can provide mood lighting.  Be careful on placement of tiki torches.  They are an open flame.  Be sure that the torches are far enough away from the path so people can easily and safely travel to the portable hot tub in your miniature Hawaii.
