For many people bath time is a relaxing time. Soaking in the hot water with their favorite soap, body wash, or bubble bath, releasing tension and stress. This is not the case for most arthritis patients, as bath time can be a painful experience, especially in the morning time when arthritic pain is at its worst. If you're one of those people for whom arthritis has taken the pleasure out of bathing or you have a loved one in this position, we have some bathing aids that we are going to discuss with you.

Bathtub Chair Lift

Do you have an issue with getting in and out of the bathtub? If so, a bathtub chair lift may be the answer. These lifts are lightweight, portable, and can be folded and put away when you're not using them. They are automatic, recline to fifty degrees, and come equipped with a padded seat and backrest for comfort and safety controls. Have a non-standard bathtub? No problem! They were built to accommodate deeper bathtubs, too.
