We all know the benefits of regular exercise and hitting the gym, but do you know that relaxation and recovery are just as important? Giving your muscles the chance to rest after intense exercise allows them to heal and recharge before working them out again.
Your mind needs to heal and recharge too, with downtime to recover from the stresses of the day. Regular visits to the hydromassage bed at our gym in Corpus Christi help you manage every aspect of fitness, including recovery and relaxation.
It’s a full-body experience that reduces stress, melts muscle tension, and improves circulation.
Oh, and you’ll relax. A lot.
How Does the Hydromassage Bed Work?
It’s simple, really. The hydromassage bed allows you to lie, fully clothed, on a comfortable, dry, and waterproof surface. Just beneath the surface, warm jets of water travel along the length of the bed to deliver relaxation and warmth. You can customize your experience by targeting specific trouble spots or you can just enjoy a full body hydromassage.
Here are four benefits of relaxing with hydromassage at our Corpus Christi gym on South Padre Island Drive (SPID).
Relieves Muscle Tension
If you work out regularly, you are bound to experience muscle stiffness and soreness. Hydromassage is an excellent way to relieve that tension in your muscles. The water pressure created by the jets in the hydromassage bed can strategically focus on the areas of your body that are cramped or sore, which helps to release the tension and offer relief.
Improves Blood Circulation
The heat and pressure produced by hydromassage can also improve blood circulation, which benefits your body in various ways. Improved blood circulation helps to pump oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, which aids in faster muscle recovery after an intense workout.
Boosts Relaxation
After working out, your body is in a heightened state of activity and tension. Hydromassage can help you unwind and relax better than any other stretching or meditation exercise. The soothing sound and heat of the water, along with the pressure of the jets, naturally produce a calm and meditative environment that you crave after a tiring workout.
Reduces Stress
Finally, hydromassage reduces stress by producing endorphins, which are the feel-good hormones that make you feel relaxed and happy. Regular use of hydromassage can help you get in the best moods and find a new way to reduce your daily stress levels.
It’s not just relaxation; you’re also allowing your body a chance to heal and grow stronger. Want to know more? Contact Freedom Fitness in Corpus Christi today!
