Being an experienced babe
Although the majority of those who purchase and use
Walk In Tubs are senior citizens, there are others who have found them to be
life savers. One such group would be the
middle aged who anticipate a need in the near future.
We recently delivered our Model 202 Walk In Tub to a
home that was under construction. I had
only talked to the buyer by phone, and was surprised to find that she was only
in her 40's. She explained that she had a
chronic, nagging back pain and said that since she was building her dream home
why not include her dream tub. This tub
can help her right away, but it will especially be valuable as she ages.
Walk-in bathtubs aren't just for seniors
I am finding that more and more middle aged adults
are seeing the need to include the Walk In Tub early in their new home or upgrade planning stages.
They know that it's a lot less expensive to install
it while the house is being built than to wait a few years and have to take out
the existing tub with all the demolition and additional cost.
There are many physical challenges that affect the
middle aged. Many are seeing the onset
of some debilitating illness that will only get worse over time.
The value of water therapy has been documented time
and again. For the younger crowd, who
are already having trouble getting around, they will love the safety features
of the Walk In Tub. It will all but eliminate the apprehension of falling while
getting into and out of a traditional tub.
Most claw foot tubs are actually 25 inches from the floor to the top of
the rim. That is a challenging to step
over for any age.
The middle age crowd appreciates the help that walk
in tubs can provide. The soothing air
jets can relax tired, aching muscles, and reduce the pain associated with back
pain, fibromyalgia, early arthritis and much more. Did you know that the human body weighs 90
percent less in water? That fact alone
brings rest to a weary and
Most adults who are middle aged have work
stress. The water jets can literally
massage those tense muscles and bring immediate welcomed relief. The jets can be adjusted to direct the
pulsing water to any spot and the pressure of the jets can be adjusted to your
liking.
Sleep disorders can often result from work
stress. This is another area where the
Walk In Tub can really help. A fully
relaxed body will sleep much better. The
elevation in the body temperature alone has been documented to provide a more
relaxing sleep.
There are many reasons to consider purchasing a walk
in tub, even if you are still in your 40s.
Taking better care of your body now will result in better health as we
age. Everyone should be looking to take better care of his or her bodies. We will be thankful we did, as we get into
the golden years.
In this article, I have discussed several reasons
why middle-aged individuals are purchasing Walk In Tubs for their homes. Some
purchase a Walk In Tub as a space saving spa, others to address a specific
health issues like lower back pain and still other are planning ahead, saving
money now on construction and being ready to deal with age related issue when
they arrive.
