Aquassure Benefits - Hydrotherapy

There are therapeutic benefits of bathing that the bather does not get from showering. Not only is bathing relaxing and rejuvenating, it has health benefits too! Reclining and soaking in a bath has the following benefits:

Promotes Relaxation...

Bathing promotes relaxation and wellness. Bathing is calming and relieves mental stress. Air and water jets massage your skin and muscles. Your body is relieved from the constant pull of gravity. The warm afterglow of bathing continues long after the bath is over, to help you sleep better and decrease reliance on painkillers and sleeping pills.

Maintain Mobility...

Immersion in warm water helps to loosen stiff joints, ease muscle tension and reduce pain. And the act of taking a bath encourages mobility. Limbs that seem heavy and difficult to move, are lighter and easier to move when supported by water. This is especially helpful for people with artritis or MS.

Stimulate Circulation...

Water provides hydrostatic pressure to stimulate circulation in the arms and legs. Both blood flow and lymphatic circulation are improved. Many people with circulatory disorders, related to diabetes, strokes, MS, Reynaud’s syndrome, bed sores, etc. benefit from increased circulation from immersion in water. This benefit can be magnified by the use of massaging air and water jets or manual massage by a care giver.

Better Hygiene and Room to Move...

The Aquassure Bathtub provides full access to the body for cleaning. If a care giver assists with bathing, the caregiver can access all parts of the body easily for proper cleansing and hygiene, including the feet, legs and lower body. It is hard to clean the feet legs when in a chair sitting position.
