Walk-In Bathtub Installation
Every human has unique needs and some need a bit more accessibility in the bathroom. Whether it’s due to the blessing of having lived many years on this planet, an injury or a circumstance of birth, some family members may need an easier way to get in and out of the tub. That’s when a walk-in tub can be extremely helpful.
What is a Walk-in Tub?
A walk-in bathtub is basically a bathtub that has a door that you can use to enter and exit the tub. It looks like an ordinary tub, except that it has a door and a seat to make it easier for the person to bathe. Walk-in tubs generally have a low-entry step and door to make it easier for senior citizens or people with limited mobility to get in and out.
Walk-in tubs are easy to use and work just like normal tubs. You enter the tub using the door. Next you take a seat and then fill it up with water. Bathe and wash yourself like normal. When you’re done, just drain the water. Once that’s done, open the door and exit the tub.
Benefits of a Walk-in Tub
A walk-in bathtub installation is beneficial to people who are experiencing reduced mobility due to injury or age.
As people get older, their mobility needs change. Some of us will require assistance even when doing simple things like going to the bathroom. One of the best ways for homeowners to age-in-place is to install a walk-in bathtub. While using a normal bathtub is still possible for some senior citizens, other people will have a hard time getting up, lifting themselves or climbing through the tub because of the side walls.
Having a door that they can open will lower the point of entry making it easier to exit and enter the tub. Most walk-in tubs also feature a seat so the person is not sitting low on the ground. This will make it easier to get up after a soak.
Here are other reasons to choose our walk-in bathtub installation service:
Ease arthritis pain and stiffness - senior citizens and arthritis patients can enjoy a hot soak that can relax muscles and ease stiffness.
Lower blood pressure - the hot water causes blood vessels to dilate and lower blood pressure levels.
Lower blood sugar - studies show that soaking in hot water causes blood vessels to dilate which makes insulin absorption faster and could lead to lower blood sugar.
Reduce stress and anxiety - for many people, taking a bath is relaxing. Research shows that opting for a bath instead of a shower reduces tension, anxiety and stress.
