The Benefits of A Walk In Bath

You have probably seen walk in baths in magazines or on the internet but were left wondering, what is the real benefit of such a bath.? Walk in tubs are great for anyone who has a disability or is in their golden age.? But in reality, anyone who wants to can use a walk in bath.? Let?s take a look at some of the benefits you will see!

Safer Access For Everyone

One of the hardest parts of getting in and out of a tub is reaching your leg over the side.? This reach puts you off balance and makes the chance that you will fall a lot higher.? Walk in bathtubs reduce this risk significantly.? Instead of over a foot worth of wall, there are mere inches on a walk in bath.? Less risk of fall makes the tub safer for everyone, old, young, and mobility issues alike.

Anti-Slip

Most walk in bathtubs are designed to prevent slipping.? That means that they are textured to increase grip on the ground.? Specialised handles are also used to ensure that you have something to hold onto when getting in and out.? They also work to assist when you are sitting up and down.

Easier Access For Everyone

For the same reason that makes traditional tubs unsafe for many people, it makes them physically hard to get in and out of.? Utilising a door to get in and out of the tub provides for easier access.? Joint pain, back pain, and more can all be avoided with a simple door on your bathtub.

Those with handicaps of all kinds can be accommodated too.? Specialised chair lifts are available on some models of walk in baths.? These chair lifts are capable of lifting a person up and into the tub and then back out when they are done.? No longer does bathing require someone else to intrude on one of your most private moments.

Bathing Can Provide Health Benefits

A lot of seniors take showers because that is all they have available in their home and they don't know the full benefits a walk in bath can provide.? Bathing can actually provide health benefits of its own.? For example, being surrounded by warm water can increase circulation in the body.

Because humans are buoyant in the water, when they get in the bath tub their body feels weightless.? This is more than just a feeling, though.? Some of the weight of the body is relieved due to the buoyancy.? This relief means that your body no longer has to hold you up fully, even if temporarily.? Less joint and muscle pain.? You will even notice less arthrit's pain.

Higher Home Value

A walk in bath can raise the value of your home.? They are enjoyable and many people will pay a little extra in order to get one with such tub.? However, if you are living in a retirement community, or anywhere that a retiree might want to move, it can raise your home value even higher.

Gives Family Peace of Mind

Family loves to worry about the other members of their family.? It is a natural thing to worry.?
