Joe Schwartz Spa World, leading Miami-based manufacturer of bath products including Joe Schwartz walkin tubs, recently shared the benefits of walk-in tubs following an analysis its representatives studied which indicated walk-in tubs are safer than traditional bathtubs, boast therapy options to help users relax, provide symptom relief and improve circulation – all while remaining easy to clean and maintain.
“A walk-in tub is safer than a traditional tub because of its design – users can walk in over a low threshold and sit in the tub, thus less chance of slipping and falling compared to a traditional type,” says Schwartz. “Walk-in tubs also come with specific safety features such as anti-scald valves, grab bars, built-in seating and slip-resistant flooring, and some tubs are even equipped with emergency safety switches and self-cleaning systems that resist mold and bacterial growth.”
According to research analyzed by Joe Schwartz Meditubs personnel, walk-in tubs make bathing safe and convenient and can also improve overall health in a number of ways; for those suffering from conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, rheumatism, fibromyalgia or general muscle or joint pain/stiffness, the soothing effects of a walk-in tub can be very beneficial. Further, a walk-in tub, it has been determined, can also improve overall circulation, yielding increased mobility with less pain.
In promoting relaxation and stress relief, a walk-in tub can provide peace of mind while exuding a relaxing and stress-relieving experience, according to Schwartz, all while improving quality of sleep via soothing chromatherapy, hydrotherapy, massage and air bath features.
While there are some disadvantages of walk-in tubs Schwartz’s staff looked at, including fill/drain time, higher initial cost and possible water heater upgrade demands, it was agreed upon that walk-in tubs ultimately provide a safe and comfortable bathing experience, making them a welcome addition to any bathroom – especially those used by individuals with mobility issues.
