Choosing the Right Walk in Bathtub

Walk in bathtubs have become very popular in the last 5 years. They aren’t just for the elderly. Many middle aged Americans are taking advantage of the therapeutic benefits of walk in bathtubs. There are many types of walk in bathtubs on the market. Typical prices range from $3000-$10,000 and quality also varies. The best way to determine the quality of a bathtub is by the warranty it comes with. If a walk in bathtub comes with a one year manufacturer’s warranty the company selling it isn’t standing behind the quality. My-bath.com’s new line of American made bathtubs come with a 20-25 year warranty depending on the model. They are also customizable offering whirlpool jets, air jets and heat pumps. Hydrotherapy tubs are an excellent way to relieve pain and stiffness associated with arthritis.

Hydrotherapy is the highly successful treatment where heated air is pushed through air jets throughout the bath tub. These air bubbles actually attach themselves to your skin and as the bubbles come in behind them, they push these bubbles up your skin creating a massaging effect. In doing this, it actually increases your circulation, enabling you to receive similar effects as exercise without the physical exertion. Hydrotherapy has been used in health centers to speed up rehabilitation. Increasing the blood flow through the gentle massage of your skin and muscles will reduce swelling and stiffness, as well as help to give you back the youthful mobility you once enjoyed. Walk in bathtubs will grant you a chance to enjoy bathing again by relaxing in the comfort of your own home.

Air tubs are much better for the elderly than the traditional whirlpool tubs. This is because whirlpool jets create pressure points that can make the bather uncomfortable. If the bather is uncomfortable they will not use and gain the benefits of their newly acquired walk in bathtub. With an air massage tub the user gets a relaxing therapeutic full body massage.

Choosing the right walk in bathtub is important to ensure the bather is comfortable and will enjoy the freedom and independence their walk in bathtub has to offer. Having a bathtub that doesn’t suit the user’s needs will keep them from using the tub and gaining the needs benefits it has to offer.
