The Benefits of Walk-In Tubs

For seniors and individuals with disabilities, taking a bath can be a challenging and stressful experience. Thankfully, walk-in tubs have been designed to meet their unique needs. In this article, we will explore the key benefits of walk-in tubs and why they are a great investment for anyone who wants to maintain their independence and improve their quality of life.

Prevent Slip and Fall Accidents

According to the latest statistics, slip and fall accidents are common among senior adults. Because of a rapidly aging population, these accidents will increase in the future. Walk-in tubs are designed to prevent these accidents by offering safety features such as safety grab bars, non-slip flooring, and anti-scalding features. These features provide seniors with the freedom to take a bath without worrying about having an accident.

Hydrotherapy Treatment

Hydrotherapy is a natural water treatment that has been used for thousands of years to improve digestion, blood circulation, and immune system response. Walk-in tubs are designed to be comfortable, reliable and can be configured with hydrotherapy features to provide relaxation and healing benefits.  A walk-in tub can help relieve a variety of age related symptoms.

Sleep Disorders

High-quality sleep is one of the most important factors in a healthy lifestyle, healing, and recovery. If you or a family member have insomnia, a walk-in tub can help alleviate this issue. Taking a warm bath is a safe and natural solution that puts your body into a calming and relaxing state. After a warm bath, you can drift peacefully into a relaxing sleep.

Hygiene

Bathing can be a challenging and stressful process for individuals with an injury or disability. Walk-in tubs make it easier to maintain good hygiene by providing easy access and safety features that allow you to clean hard-to-reach areas on your body.

Mobility Issues

If you have limited mobility, taking a bath can be a challenging experience. Walk-in tubs are designed to help you maintain your dignity and independence by providing a low-step entry and an outswing door. If you use a wheelchair, walker, or scooter, entering these tubs can be easier than other bathing solutions. Installing a walk-in tub in your home makes it easier for you to walk right into the tub, sit down, and have the relaxing bath you desire.

Heart Health

For individuals with heart conditions, performing cardiovascular exercises each day may not be a simple routine. Soaking your entire body in a warm bath can increase your heart rate and lower your blood pressure. Daily soaking in a warm bath puts less stress on your heart muscles and increases your comfort level. These are significant cardiovascular benefits that protect your heart from various issues.

Scheduled a total shower replacement and was very satisfied with the materials and the expertise of the 2 replacement technicians. Arrived at scheduled time and worked efficiently to complete the task in one day. Cleaned up well after installation was complete. Would use this company again.

Although the wait time to get scheduled was alittle long (not longer than they told us), it was surely worth the wait. The finished product is gorgeous! Our installer, Brian, was professional, conscientious, courteous, respectful & personable. LOVE our new walk-in shower!

Jordan and Ryan were so professional and got the project done in an efficient manner. They kept everything clean. The shower is awesome!! I'm very happy with everything from Mark the salesperson, Madasia the project manager and Jacob and Ryan as the installers. I couldn't be happier!

You can’t deny the product is great and a tad costly but it’s the best. Totally custom. The installer was even better. Accurate, clean, knowledgeable, and well spoken easy to understand.

I chose bath experts this time since their quality of work was much better than the other group. There was a difference of about 1500 but i went with Bath experts. They showed up on time, had their name on the van and shirts.

I got a tub to walk-in shower with glass doors and the experience was wonderful!!! I was as excited from the very beginning mostly due to Taesha as she was one of the best sales professional I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Installation was smooth and very clean. They represented great teamwork. Highly recommend.
