A walk-in bathtub is designed for you to walk directly into without having to climb over the side. For those with trouble climbing in and out of a traditional tub, this eliminates most of the fall risk.
Anyone can enjoy a walk-in bathtub, but the design is engineered for –
- Seniors or elderly persons who have difficulty getting in and out of the tub
- Anyone with a physical injury
- Individuals with mobility impairments who require assistance with balance and coordination
