Big Benefits To Improve Your Quality Of Life

You may be considering a Walk In Bathtub because you want all the great Benefits they provide for yourself, your spouse, your parents, or perhaps your grandparents. Although these tubs have many, many Benefits associated with them, the most important for most people are:

• Natural Pain Relief
• Safe Access Bathing
• Pure Pleasure, Enjoyment, Bathing Bliss
• Stay-At-Home Independence

Natural Pain Relief

When you get into a tub of perfectly heated water, your body immediately appreciates the warm temperature. Your body reacts to the warm water by creating endorphins, your body’s natural pain killers. The warm water warms your blood, which allows it to circulate better throughout your body and to deliver the endorphins to your painful joints and muscles. A warm water soak also dilates your blood vessels further increasing circulation. So, endorphins and oxygen flow more freely all over your body not only blocking pain but also bringing more oxygen and white blood cells to relieve inflammation, relax muscles, and promote cell renewal and healing.

Also, as you enter your warm water tub, your body appreciates another of nature’s wonders…buoyancy. In water you feel like you weigh less, up to 90% less! This near “weightlessness” reduces the compression and tension all over your submerged body…your joints, your heart, your blood, and your muscles.

With all this pressure removed from your joints, organs and muscles, you feel much lighter and pain is reduced, your range of motion increases and your flexibility is better.

Obviously, soaking in a tub of warm water brings you many, many bodily benefits. But, it gets better. By adding motion to buoyancy and warm water, we elevate the enjoyment and effectiveness of the bath. Motion can come from either warm air bubbles or whirlpools of water…or both can be enjoyed at the same time.

Motion triggers touch receptors on the skin, which help to further increase blood circulation and to stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps speed up the elimination of toxins. Motion also helps loosen tight muscles, relaxes tension, and reduces stress.

A university study showed that 85% of those people interviewed preferred having bubble/whirlpool massage motion in their bath verses soaking only.

All in all, a nice warm bath is natural pain relief at its best. No pills, no prescription medications, no trips to the doctor’s office or drug store, just natural pain relief right in the convenience and privacy of your own home.

Safe Access Bathing

Walk In Bathtubs are much safer to enter and exit than conventional tubs because you don’t have to climb over that slippery, dangerous tub edge. You just open the door in the side, enter safely and bathe.

Studies have shown that many senior admissions to hospitals are fall related, most falls happen around the house, and the bathroom contributes more falls than any other room. Slippery surfaces abound. And they tend to be hard, slippery surfaces. They don’t bend, dent or break…like you do.

About the only way a conventional tub can be accessed is by stepping over a 15” to 20” or so side, frequently from a shiny, slippery floor into a shiny, slippery tub. And of course, the tub generally is not flat to step into, but made nice and curvy to feel better while bathing. Add to that the fact that many tubs require you to stand on this curvy, slick surface to take a shower. No wonder there are so many tub and shower falls.

Walk in tubs can dramatically reduce your chances of a fall. Access through a door and sit on an ADA compliant height seat while bathing or showering. Safety grab bars are frequently placed in strategic locations to assist your steadiness and to be there for you if you need them.

Walk in tubs can do a lot to help you ease your mind.

Pleasure, Enjoyment, Bathing Bliss

Few things in life are as pleasant as a warm bath.

Humans have been flocking to warm water since the cavemen first found a natural hot springs pool and jumped in. Long before the health benefits were understood, people innately knew that they physically felt better with a bath, but they also felt better in their thoughts, emotions, and spirit.

Scientists have now discovered that warm water baths calm the mind and ease troubled emotions. Baths reduce the causes of stress. As the mind clears and stresses reduce, positive energy fills the void and pleasure, relaxation, and bathing bliss are yours to enjoy.

Stay-At-Home Independence

A walk in bathtub could be just the thing that allows you to gracefully age in the privacy and convenience of your cherished home instead of moving in with relatives or going to some sort of group living establishment.

Being able to safely bathe at home is very important to most seniors. It is something you have done all your lives and you have a strong desire to continue doing so well into the future. A walk in bathtub provides you the avenue to realize that desire. It allows you to get all the natural health benefits with safe, easy access through its door. And it allows you to get all this very conveniently in the bathroom privacy of your own home.

From an economic standpoint, a new Rane Bathing System could also be a very wise investment. A Rane walk in bathtub will probably cost you less than a couple of months rent in a good assisted living, nursing or other type care facility. If your new tub allows you to stay at home, even for just a few more months, the tub probably will have paid for itself. In addition, your new Rane Bathing System may add value to your home.

If a new tub is not feasible in the budget, or if you're just interested in modifying your existing tub, we offer the SafeWay Step tub conversion system as an alternative.

Walk-In Showers are a practical, long term solution to provide access to showering without barriers.
