Therapeutic Benefits of Walk-in Tubs
Therapeutic features such as hydrotherapy massage jets can help relieve common pains and discomfort and promote physical well-being. Adding hydrotherapy to your walk-in tub can be especially beneficial if you suffer from one or more of the following conditions:
- Arthritis or rheumatism
- Diabetes
- Back pain or sciatica
- Stress or stress-related disorders
- Chest congestion or bronchitis
- High blood pressure
- Muscle cramps or weakness
- Joint, muscle, or nerve problems
- Circulatory problems
- Balance disorders
- Insomnia
- Shingles
- Varicose veins
- Headaches
Even if you do not want to spend more for therapeutic upgrades, a 15- to 25-minute soak in hot water alone will help increase your circulation, improve skin tone, and relieve pressure on joints and muscles. A nice soak before bedtime is also a natural way to get a more restful night’s sleep.
Please note that if you suffer from a chronic condition such as diabetes, arthritis, or high blood pressure, it’s important to consult with your doctor first to make sure bathing in a hot tub or hydrotherapy massage is appropriate for you.
