Bathing Aids Make Bathing Enjoyable Again

Bathing is an essential part of good hygiene. People with arthritis can have difficulty getting in or out of the bathtub. It's really somewhat ironic. People with arthritis could benefit from soaking and bathing in warm water. Yet, it is difficult, if not impossible, for many people with arthritis to use a bathtub because of the physical limitations imposed by their weightbearing joints:

• knee pain
• hip pain
• ankle pain
• foot pain
• spine

If unable to get in and out of a bathtub, many people with arthritis switch to taking showers. Even showers can be difficult, if the person has trouble standing on their feet for a long period of time. There have been arthritis aids designed to help with bathing and showering. Consider the following:

• Shower Chairs
• Bathtub Transfer Benchs
• Raised Toilet Seats
