Walk-in Tub Benefits for Arthritis
Arthritis affects the lives of millions of Americans, but few know how close help is. Simply bathing in a walk-in bathtub serves as an easy yet effective remedy for this debilitating condition.
In 1998, two physicians discovered that after just three weeks of regular warm bathing, arthritis sufferers were less stiff, endured less pain, and began feeling more limber. The physicians determined that this simple treatment did so much to treat arthritis because when water reduces weight by 90%, pressure is relieved from joints, thereby decompressing cartilage and promoting much needed repair. Warm water therapy enhances this healing process by dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow to sore or damaged tissue. The Arthritis Foundation affirms that warm water therapy keeps joints looser in a gentle setting. A walk-in tub can help restore strength and even delay further damage to sensitive joints. For those seeking relief from arthritis, a Bliss Tubs walk-in bath is a safe, reliable remedy.
