You need a walk-in tub, you just don’t know it yet!

A walk-in tub is a much safer solution for many who struggle with their independence in the bathroom. Perhaps you’ve been thinking about having one installed in your own home, or maybe this is the first time you have heard of these unique fixtures. No matter which the case may be, the following five reasons can help explain the undeniable benefits of using a walk-in tub in your own home.

1: Relaxing, Spa-like Experience

Therapeutic tubs offer a very spa-like experience which promotes a feeling of luxury. It can also assist in decreasing the anxiety, depression, and frustration which comes from having limited mobility by allowing a deep level of relaxation.

2: Promotes Senior Independence

As we age our mobility becomes more limited. Even the healthiest seniors are at a greatly increased risk of slipping and falling, which can cause significant injury – or even be fatal. Walk-in tubs are a much safer option that can help to promote independence for seniors.

3: Quickly Soothes Sore Muscles

The rejuvenating experience of a therapeutic walk-in tub or shower helps to soothe sore muscles. This benefit is not only directed towards those who have decreased mobility, however. Everyone can enjoy the soothing effects of these walk-in bathtubs.

4: Easy Transferring

People who use wheelchairs, walkers, or canes will find this tub offers a significantly easier transfer than traditional ones do. Caretakers will also find that transferring their patients into a walk-in shower will cause less strain on their backs, putting them at a lower risk of injury.

5: Generally Safer for All

It all boils down to keeping your loved ones safe. Our walk-in tubs are safer for seniors and those that are disabled than any other traditional tubs.
