If you (or a lived one) are facing a health or mobility challenge, you want to live independently and manage your health and pain challenges? don't you? A walk-in bathtub (or appropriate safety tub, handicapped tub, slide-in tub, or transition tub) equipped with Medical Hydrotherapy? will not only help you to bathe safely, but can actually offer life altering health benefits. An accessible walk-in bathtub with Medical Hydrotherapy? will give you access to the seemingly miraculous powers of water therapy ? right in your own home.

WHY? Because using Medical Hydrotherapy? in the home will help treat the core causes of many life shortening illnesses and painful conditions. Regular use of Medical Hydrotherapy? will greatly enhance digestion' nutrient absorption' skin hydration' detoxification and virtually every aspect of better health for anyone facing degenerative, age or injury related conditions.

We all know that water is essential to life. The vast majority of our bodies are water (over 75% of our brain is composed of water). You may not be a doctor, but you certainly know how to use water as a pain reliever for sore muscles, to treat injuries, ice strains, and as a method of stress reduction. Whether that treatment is in the form of a hot soak, or a cold shower, and everything in between.

Recently there has been a dramatic swing in medical theory and a long overdue realization about "healing". Recent studies have confirmed that many of the medications our society has become dependant on, primarily antibiotics and pain relievers, often do more harm than good. The best way to prevent, treat and in many cases cure illness and recover from injury is to give our body the right tools and let it go to work. An accessible or walk-in bathtub permits on-demand, in-home use of deep soaking Medical Hydrotherapy?.

What is Medical Hydrotherapy??

In it's simplest form, hydrotherapy can be described as the treatment of illness and injury through the use of water. This includes the use of both hot and cold water.

Medical Hydrotherapy? adds the element of temperature appropriate and medically safe massage to the soaking process. This is important, for as with our tendency to use medications in the US, we have become singularly focused on water jetted and ?hot tub? technologies as the only massage option. Even in walk-in bathtubs, re-circulated, heated water, or Jacuzzi systems, can be both unsafe and unhealthy to use, and are NOT Medical Hydrotherapy?

A walk-in bathtub with Medical Hydrotherapy? makes you healthier in two ways:

1. Thermal Effects: Warm and cold baths in a deep soak walk-in bathtub create certain reactions in your body tissues that help lessen pain and discomfort and improve the healing process. Warm baths open up your capillaries (the small blood vessels in your body that are closest to tissues) which leads to increased blood flow and circulation, helping your body oxygenate and heal tissue better and get rid of toxins faster. Heat increases the production of beneficial body hormones, and stimulates the immune system.

2. Mechanical Effects: The gentle tingling sensation of warmed air bubbles and their energizing ?whole body? massage in a walk-in bathtub creates beneficial chemical reactions in your skin and tissues. This leads to increased circulation, which helps oxygenate tissues and evacuate toxins. In water, your body weighs only 10% of its normal weight, so there is a large amount of physical stress removed from your joints and bones, helping to relive pain and discomfort. This partial weightlessness also helps relax the body, because muscles don't have to work as hard to keep the body in position and are given a chance to relax.

Bottom-line ? Medical Hydrotherapy? made available when and as you need it, in your own home, by way of a walk-in bathtub, safety tub or appropriately engineered deep soaking tub, can literally be life altering. Maybe even a miracle. If you are in the home you hope to stay in, this investment in your health is a necessity, not a luxury. And if you have a health challenge, it will likely qualify as a medical expense. But you won't know if you don't seek information. I strongly encourage you to look into the options of a walk-in bathtub with Medical Hydrotherapy? sooner, rather than later.
