Re: RA treatment hot tub vs sauna

[Guest guest]

I don't have access to a sauna but I do have a hot tub and love it.  There are

not many days that I am not in it-winter and summer.  A lot of days I start my

day by getting in it because it helps loosen up the joints  and then lots of

nights I get in it as it helps me relax before bed.  linda

I am thinking of buying a hot tub or a sauna to help my wife with her RA.

I have two questions

1. Will a hot tub or sauna work

2. If so which one is best?

Thanks in advance

HOT TUB!!!

That's what I did and it works great, plus it'll allow you to join in.

Floating in the water takes pressure off the joints. She'll love you for it.

Yes! Hot tub indeed.

I have one and while submerged, the gravity is lifted off the joints and I

get relief while under water.

My vote is the hot tub!

Hot tub definitely worked for me.  I could sit down in the middle with my legs

cross and do arm exercises.   I could sit on one of the seats and do leg

exercises.  This got me going in the morning and I did it again at night.  It is

amazing how the hot water ( I had mine set at 102 degrees) helps you.   I don't

think I would have been able to continue work without it.

 

I am not sure about the sauna.  I think that would be great as well.  I know

that they are good for removing toxins.

I think you should let your wife know what your thinking and let he in on the

decision.
