			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As time passes and we get older, our joints do not move like we remember from our younger years. Its true, we all feel it, the older we get. Our backs ache a little more, our knees are sore by the end of the day, our neck feels pinched and achy. Maybe its time for you to consider the benefits that a home spa can bring to your body.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of Hot Water Hydrotherapy</strong></p>
<p>Medical doctors have always instructed patients to use moist heat for a variety of injuries, arthritis or any form of joint pain, including some sports injuries.  There are several conditions and/or ailments that can benefit from the soothing moist heat of a home spa, which reduces the pain in joints by reducing inflammation, which in turn will increase the blood flow to those areas.<br style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Rheumatoid Arthritis</li>
<li>Multiple Sclerosis- reduce symptoms</li>
<li>Improve blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes</li>
<li>Lower blood pressure</li>
<li>Fibromyalgia</li>
<li>Tendonitis</li>
<li>Scoliosis</li>
<li>Carpal tunnel syndrome</li>
<li>and Bursitis<br style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Promote Respiratory System Healing</strong></p>
<p>There are other ailments, which are not joint related, that can benefit greatly from the use of an Oasis Spa; such as asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis and upper respiratory infections. The moist heat of the spa helps to open the airways and also helps the body&#8217;s white blood cells to circulate more thoroughly to the affected areas. This promotes healing and also increases respiration.</p>
<p><strong>History of Hydrotherapy</strong></p>
<p>Hydropathy (hydrotherapy) was first documented in the 5th century B.C. by the Greek physician, Hippocrates, and it was referred to as the &#8220;water cure&#8221; which utilized the use of water, at any temperature, as a means to promote healing. Hydrotherapy was recorded in ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian history as being used for medicinal purposes and has carried the same purpose through the centuries; hydrotherapy has evolved by the use of technology, yet yields the same results. To promote the overall health of humanity.</p>
<p>For those that suffer from a disease, ailment or injury that could be helped or alleviated through the benefits of the use of an Oasis Spa can put there trust in<a href="http://www.sparite.com.au/Spas/Portable%20Spas/_latest/Islander/index.htm"> Spa-Rite</a>, when it comes to purchasing their spa. The knowledgeable and courteous staff at Spa-Rite are available to help you choose an Oasis spa that is right for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here at Spa-Rite, we can provide you and your family with the <a title="Saunas to choose from" href="http://www.sparite.com.au/saunas.html" target="_self">highest quality saunas</a> at reasonable and competitive prices. A sauna can be a great addition to your outdoor living area, and can provide you with that extra element to your healthy lifestyle. Our saunas are of the highest quality, and will not take up much room at your property. Here are just a few of the benefits a sauna can have on your health:</p>
<p>- During a 10-20 minute sauna session, your heart rate increases by 50-75%. This provides the same metabolic result as physical exercise. The increased cardiac load is the equivalent to a brisk walk.</p>
<p>- Blood vessels become more flexible and there is increased circulation. During a <a href="http://www.sparite.com.au/saunas.html" target="_self">sauna</a> session, blood flow to the skin increases to as high as 50-70% of cardiac output, as compared to the standard 5-10%. This can result is healthy, glowing skin and can aid scar tissue and skin based injuries.</p>
<p>- Saunas induce sweating to provide a comprehensive cleansing of the skin and sweat glands. Skin is the largest organ in the body &#8211; 30% of body wastes are passed through the skin. Profuse sweating enhances the detoxifying capacity of the skin by opening pores and flushing impurities from the body.</p>
<p>- During a sauna session, skin temperature rises to 40C and internal body temperature rises to about 38C. Exposure to the high heat creates an artificial fever state. Fever stimulates the immune system resulting in increased production of disease fighting white blood cells, antibodies and interferon.</p>
<p>- In conjunction with massage and spa sessions, saunas can help to loosen fatty tissue and assist in the battle against cellulite and difficult weight loss.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the health benefits of a sauna &#8211; be sure to check our spas, swim spas and saunas at our Bayswater store today!</p>
