Over 2500 participants were studied over a 4 year period, with varying types and severities of cancer. The results showed that those who partook in specialized spa days treatments over the course of 6 months were more likely to see an improvement in their condition than those who did not. In fact over 65% of those who had the treatments showed signs of improvement over the six months, compared to only 55% of who did not have treatments.

We had to be very careful about the types of treatments we prescribed stats Tony Lancer, Director of Studies. He pointed out that often cancer can be spread through the lymphatic system and so manipulation of areas around lymph glands can be dangerous to cancer sufferers. Additionally, some products used in traditional massage and skin care treatments can react badly with those used in chemotherapy. For these reasons massage was limited to localized areas and doctors were consulted on the ingredients in all skin care and beauty products used.

It is thought that the positive results for the patients were an effect of the relaxation that resulted from having the treatments such as a facial or pedicure etc. Lancer suggests that stress can often make cancer worse as the body natural processes begin to break down over a sustained period of anxiety. Taking part in spa treatments brings anxiety levels back down to manageable amounts and the body can go back to looking after itself, rather than constantly being in a ‘fight or flight’ state.

Our hot tubs range from £2595 to £11995 with installation costing an extra £250. Crane hire will be required for people with no access.

its not rocket science to install a hot tub.  All you need is an electric supply and a hose to fill the spa up. the cost may vary for installing the electrics on a hot tub. The best thing to do is to shop around or if you know an electrician even better.

You need to review where your having your spa positioned. Due to the maintenance free structure, our spas can be half or totally recessed into the ground that can blend into the landscape.  You need to consider the preparation costs which may include digging a pit or just laying a concrete base for the hot tub to stand on if your having it above ground. It is vital the base where you position your hot tub is level. if your having an in-ground spa then you would require the pumps to be housed into a separate room. The best options are discussed when we do the site surveys. it is best to phone around to get the best deals on hot tub preparation. Some clients may want to house their tubs under a gazebo or log cabin. Our gazebo’s come in natural cedar wood and have sky lights so you can see the stars at night whilst in the tub. our hot tubs prices range from £3295-£4995 depending on the size. Our natural gazebos blend into your garden and feature a private place for you to go and relax and unwind. spas being installed indoors should make sure they have plenty of ventilation. A de-humidifier will help when installing your tub in a cabin.  The cost for a good de-humidifier can cost about £100.

Heating your spa between 35-37 degrees will cost you about 80 pence a day. All spa orders have chemicals included. if you want to buy more chemicals to maintain your tub then this would be an additional £7 per month. About £375 will be a rough amount you should expect to pay for running your hot tub. The benefits of owing a hot tub far outweigh what you spend on the running the spa.

The claim follows a 7 month trial carried out at the university, where mainly athletes with muscles tissue damage had wine applied and rubbed into the skin as part of the recovery massage regime. The study showed that remarkably, those people who had wine included in their massage sessions, showed around a 20% increase in the rate of muscle recovery. Tim Herring from the Universities Sports Sciences department stated that “whenever muscles are used they become damaged to some degree….the research that we conducted showed the the healing of this damage was speed ed up when wine was included in participant’s recovery massages.The experts that carried out the study have suggested that the alcohol in the wine is partly responsible for this effect, as it allows the muscles to relax even more than normal by desensitising nerve endings. This relaxation then allows a vaso-dilation of the blood vessels that surround muscle tissue and means more healing nutrients can get to the damaged tissue.Interestingly, other alcoholic substances have been tested and do not display the same positive results, suggesting there might be something else found in wine that acts as a catalyst.

You probably won’t find that there is a rush in wine rack sales from health spas around the country, but maybe they will invest in some slow wine pourers just to give it a go.
