Arthritis is a wear and tear of the joint and can not be cured by using a hot tub, but can be improved. A hot tub does show some amenities and benefits in dealing with osteoarthritis.

The body loses up to 90% of its body weight through the buoyancy of the whirlpool water at about 1,500 liters of water content. Here the body is almost weightless. Ligaments, muscles and joints are thus relieved and the joint can move better. Movement is important in case of arthrosis. This also contributes to a later acting pain reduction.

The tendons and muscles are stretched and slightly stretched by the massage of the hot tub. This process also has a pain-relieving effect on osteoarthritis and joints.

In addition, the warmth of the water promotes blood circulation.
