Everyone knows that senior citizens are the number one target group of consumers that walk in tubs are marketing towards. It makes perfect sense that senior citizens would consider having a walkin bathtub installed in their homes, since their mobility range will become limited with age. However, there are plenty of younger consumers that would vastly benefit from having a walk in tub installed in their home. A couple groups of consumers who should consider having a walk in tub installed are athletes and dancers.
Athletes and dancers both punish their bodies training to participate in sports or in dance recitals. Both groups need to train their bodies for months and years at a time, in order to make their bodies engage at peak performance. And, both groups of consumers find that sprains, fractures, brakes, strains and bruising is par to course for the job, so to speak. Both groups of consumers are trained to ignore their pain and perform through the pain. Dancers in particular dance through all sorts of physical injuries. Not only is this painful, but performing with an injured body can cause increased levels of physical damage and pain. One’s recovery time can go on for months and years, if they don’t start treating their physical ailments.
This is why installing a walk in tub is key for dancers and for athletes. A walk in tub allows these consumers to enjoy what is known in physical therapy as hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy is a water-based form of treatment that is non-invasive. As a matter of fact, it’s a very comforting and soothing form of physical treatment. A physical therapy patient who engages in hydrotherapy finds that they are more alert, they enjoy a better mood, they sleep better and their injuries heal faster. All of these positive benefits and more are key for the quick healing of dancers and athletes.
As a matter of fact, a consumer doesn’t have to be an athlete, a dancer or an elderly person, in order to enjoy the health benefits of hydrotherapy. Anyone who wants to improve the condition of their blood circulation, promote physical healing, soak toxins from their skin or enjoy stress relief, can have a walk in tub installed and enjoy its healing benefits as soon as possible. It’s to anyone’s benefit to have a relaxing jet bubble or whirlpool tub installed. They’ll never soak in a traditional bath tub again!
If you have been looking for a walk in tub
This is some great information, and I appreciate your point that athletes could benefit from walk in tubs. I had only thought of that as a benefit for seniors and people with disabilities, but I hadn’t considered how useful it could be for an athlete. My husband plays lacrosse, and there have been several times he’s injured himself, so we’ll definitely look into getting a walk in tub to make times like that more convenient. Thanks for the great post!
