JoAnne purchased a Walk-in Tub from us at the suggestion of her adult children (one of whom is a physician), because they were very
concerned about her safety.

The report’s findings were unequivocal: "For all ages,
the most hazardous activities were bathing, showering, or getting out of
the tub or shower. Approximately two thirds of all injuries occurred in
the tub or shower, and approximately half were precipitated by bathing or
showering, slipping, or getting out of the tub or shower.” (See our previous
blog, “Shocking
CDC Statistics About Bathroom Injuries – and What You Can Do to Prevent Them.”)
Back to our happy customer. JoAnne, probably in her late
60s to early 70s, had purchased a Walk-in Tub from us because she and her children were very concerned
about her well-being in-general and safety in the bathroom in particular. “I’ve
been extremely happy with it,” she says, while sitting on the sturdy ledge of
her handsome Walk-in Tub, which we installed to fit in with her pre-existing,
gray textured-tile, cozy bathtub “nook.”

Another reason she’s very happy with her Walk-in Tub is
because of its optional hydrotherapeutic features, such as bubble jets, air
jets and inline heater, of which her tub has all three. “I have arthritis all
through my body, and it’s incredibly soothing to anybody who has arthritis,”
she states matter-of-factly.
Several research studies reiterate our customer’s relief of
pain from her condition via hydrotherapy. As stated in an article entitled “Hydrotherapy
for Arthritis”:“Hydrotherapy can be a beneficial form of treatment for
individuals with arthritic conditions. During hydrotherapy, a person is
submersed in water, either to soak or to exercise. A hydrotherapist can
instruct a patient on the types of movements appropriate for his or her
condition. Hydrotherapy can be especially useful to treat the joint pain and
stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The painful swelling in
the joints that occurs with rheumatoid arthritis has been shown to decrease
with hydrotherapy… Hydrotherapy can also be effective in helping those
individuals with osteoarthritis (OA).”

Again, here’s where the low-threshold door of the Walk-in
Tub proved invaluable. “It saved me probably six hours of painful physical
therapy, learning how to get into a regular tub,” she says.
And depending upon her insurance plan, it may have saved her
hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in co-pay for that physical therapy, not
to mention the time, hassle and perhaps additional costs (gas, parking, etc.)
of having someone drive her to and fro the physical therapy sessions.
Furthermore, the Walk-in Tub’s non-slip floor and seat
functionally provide an additional element of safety while also contributing
to our customer’s peace of mind. “I feel totally safe standing up,” she states.
But don’t just take my word about it. See for yourself why Joanne is totally
satisfied with her Walk-in Tub.
