6 Whirlpool wellbeing Prof. Bernhard Allmann, health expert at the German University for Prevention and Health Management Prof. Allmann, what is the connection between health and bathing? Health and whirlpool bathtubs IN THIS INTERVIEW PROF. ALLMANN, AN EXPERT IN PERSONAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT, ANSWERS QUESTIONS ON HEALTH AND WHIRLPOOL BATHS AND EXPLAINS THE THREE NEW WHIRL PROGRAMMES FLOW, ENERGY AND FIT WHICH WE DEVELOPED WITH HIM FOR THE WHISPER ACTIVE JETS. The pace, complexity and stress of modern life have produced increasing concerns about personal health and there is a growing move towards individual health management. We are becoming responsible for our own health and seek possibilities for maintaining or improving it. At the same time there is a greater demand for rest and relaxation. We seek solutions in our direct living environment. This is why the bathroom is becoming more important. It has always been a retreat and refuge but it is now also a place for active health management. What effect does bathing have on the body? Bathing has several positive physical and psychological effects. When we lie in the bath we automatically feel relaxed. The water makes us feel unusually light, takes the weight off our limbs. The hydrostatic pressure in a bath produces a counter-reaction in the body: the blood circulates, the heart rate increases and the metabolism is stimulated. The water friction promotes blood circulation to the skin and relaxes the muscles. What about whirlpools? Whirlpools further enhance the positive effects of the bathing. At temperatures above 36°C the heat intake is increased. The whirling water also moves the hairs on the skin, sending relaxation signals to the body. The movement of the water makes us more sensitive to relaxation processes. As with a massage, the receptors are stimulated and relaxation hormones produced. At the same time the blood circulation to the skin is improved and the muscles relaxed, in this way even relieving pain to a certain extent. The skin also benefits from the more powerful washing action. How do the three new programmes Flow, Energy and Fit work? Is it always important to immerse yourself fully? Not at all. For people with rheumatic pain, tension in the shoulder and neck muscles or with a cold, a full bath is the best way of gaining relief. A hot bath is also a good way of countering stress and relaxing before retiring to bed. By contrast, a tepid or cold half-bath for seconds or minutes is an ideal way of cooling down on a hot day. Arm or leg baths are a time-saving alternative to improve circulation and as a remedy for varicose veins and high or low blood pressure or to prevent hardening of the arteries. What is so special about the three whirlpool programmes? Each programme has its own choreography, starting with an introduction, developing to the main part, and then a slow conclusion. The programme rhythm can be felt and understood. Flow, Energy and Fit are based on manual techniques used This is particularly agreeable because we live in cycles and feel by physiotherapists and masseurs. Thanks to the innovative comfortable with regularly recurring processes. Each programme movable Whisper Active Jets the whirling flow can be adjusted runs for a fixed time to ensure that its effect can be utilised to to the required needs. Flow gently strokes the skin, increasing the full. In this way you can be sure of doing something for your sensitivity and giving a feeling of weightlessness. health and wellbeing every time you take a whirlpool bath. The result is complete relaxation. The Energy programme is based on the acupressure technique in which energy meridians are stimulated by light pressure and energy blockages removed. Large areas of the body are addressed successively. Lost energy returns and can be stored. Fit is the most sporty programme. The directed massage removes muscle blockages. The whirlpool bath is relax ing and refreshing, giving renewed strength and energy. Whirlpool wellbeing 7
