Why Install a Walk-In Tub?
by Kevin Smith AuthorWhile
getting older presents many challenges, getting in and out of the tub doesn't
have to be one of them. Walk in tubs are specifically designed so that instead
of lifting your legs to get in the tub, you can simply open a small,
re-lockable door to enter.
This
technology has already improved the lives of seniors everywhere. Are you or
your love one struggling with this essential, everyday task? If so, a walk in
tub may be the answer you're looking for.
A walk
in tub can help you take your life back and minimize pain while doing so. Why
not consider this common- sense solution? Here are a few reasons why you
should.
Easy Access
Mobility
problems make doing regular things a major headache. This can be unspeakably
frustrating and make you long for the days when you didn't have to deal with
these problems.
If you
or a loved one is aging, injured, or ill, it's time to cut those frustrations
out of the daily routine. Bathing is an essential function of everyday life and
shouldn't lead to undue agony. A walk in tub can be good for anyone in the
house, as it's safer and easier to get in and out of.
Pain Management
If
you're struggling with arthritis or osteoporosis, getting in and out of the tub
can actually cause you significant pain and put unnecessary strain on your
joints and leg muscles.
Additionally,
certain walk in tubs feature therapeutic jet streams and whirlpool features.
You can use these to massage your aching muscles as you relax and revitalize in
the tub.
Accident Prevention
You
don't have to be sick or elderly to be in danger of taking a fall in or near
the bathtub. In fact, many people fall or injure themselves in the bathroom or
shower each year due to slippery floors. A walk in tub eliminates the likely
hood of an accident for everyone in your home.
Additionally,
walk in tubs come equipped with safety features such as a non- slip tub mat,
seats, pull- up cords, and hand rails. These accessories promote independence
for the elderly or injured. Bathing is supposed to be relaxing "me"
time, after all.
Safe Cohabitation
Installing
a walk in tub in your home makes it possible for your elderly loved on to
comfortably live with you. For many is a comforting and preferred alternative
to an assisted living facility. A walk in tub will keep everyone in your home
happy.

you're struggling with your daily routine due to old age or injury, ask about
