Can Spas Help with Lower Back Pain?

February 8, 2021 By Goodall Staff

Spas and back pain

Between 60-80 percent of people in the U.S. suffer from chronic lower back pain at some time in their life. If you are one of them, you will be glad to know that scientific studies show that soaking in a spa helps relieve that pain. At Goodall Pools & Spas, we can help you find the perfect spa so you can combine hydrotherapy for your lower back pain with fun for you, your family and your friends.

Scientific Studies Confirm Spa Therapy Helps Relieve Lower Back Pain

In a recent scientific study, which was really a review of a number of other studies, confirmed that soaking in the warm water of a spa “is an ancient way to treat rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders which can relieve the pain and improve the function in musculoskeletal disorders…”

The study notes that how spa therapy works is not clear, but it is likely due to:

  • The warm water increases blood circulation which contributes to healing.
  • The circulating water on the skin contributes to an analgesic effect.
  • Physical exercises that are otherwise painful can be done much easier in the water which also increases blood flow and muscle strength.
  • When outdoor air and pleasant scenery are added to the mix, the therapeutic value of the soak is increased.
Simple Water Therapy Suggestions for Lower Back Pain

Any exercise you can do on land will be much easier if you do it in the water. Two therapeutic methods are particularly helpful for relieving lower back pain.

Walking in the water. This has proven to be good for lower back pain. Walk as you would on land, swinging your arms appropriately. Go forward and backward.

Cat stretch. Sit up straight and put your hands on your knees. Then slowly roll your back forward until you feel a stretch. Hold it there for a few seconds, then slowly roll yourself back up.

At Goodall Pool & Spas we will help you find the perfect spa to meet your needs. We only carry spa brands that are designed to value hydrotherapy to help you relieve pain and stress. We have five locations to serve you. Contact us as soon as possible so you can begin your hydrotherapy for your lower back pain now.
