Warranties and hydrotherapy for your walk in bath tub

Posted by Thinker on Feb 24, 2009 in Thinkable |

Walk in bathtubs have become accepted in the last few years. They aren’t just for the elderly. Middle-aged Americans also like the therapeutic benefits of walk in bath tubs. There are many models of walk in bathtubs on the market. Prices range from three thousand through nine thousand dollars and quality varies widely.

The best way to determine the quality of a bath is by the warranty from the manufacturer. Warranties should be at least one year on the motor (if applicable), lifetime on the door and seal, and five years on the remaining components (taps, drains, actual tub, etc.) If a safety bath comes with a one year manufacturer warranty, be careful: the quality isn’t there.

A walk in tub often comes with hydrotherapy air jets or water jets. Hydrotherapy is an excellent way to relieve pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. Air jet tubs are much better for the elderly than the traditional whirlpool tub water jets. Whirlpool jets create pressure points that can make the bather irritated. If the bather is not comfortable, you will not use your walk in bath, and won’t gain the benefits of hydrotherapy. With an air massage bathtub, the user gets a relaxing therapeutic full body massage.

Hydrotherapy occurs when heated air is pushed through air jets throughout the bath tub. These air bubbles stick themselves to your skin. As more bubbles follow, they push the previous bubbles up your skin, creating a massaging effect. This 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 blood flow through the gentle massage of your skin and muscles reduces swelling and stiffness, and gives you back the vigor you once enjoyed. Walk in bath tubs help you enjoy bathing again by relaxing in the comfort of your own home.

Choosing the right walk in bathtub is important. It ensures the bather is comfortable and will enjoy the freedom and independence your safety tub offers. Having the wrong bath that doesn’t suit your needs will keep you from using the bathtub and gaining the many benefits it offers.
