‘I was suffering with arthritis and found it increasingly hard to bathe…’

Elderly with arthritis

Mr and Mrs Eady from Watford looked into changing their old, impractical bathroom due to growing concerns over mobility and safety issues. The couple were very thorough in their research and looked at numerous companies before choosing Mobility Plus to design and install the replacement.

Mr Eady explained: “I was suffering with arthritis and found it increasingly hard to bathe easily or safely. Then one day I got stuck in the bath and we realised that we needed to act fast and make a change as soon as possible. We contacted various mobility specialists but, after seeing a Mobility Plus bathroom advisor, we decided this was the company to go with.”

Mrs Eady said: “We decided that the whole bathroom was ready for an upgrade, so we would be better to get everything done in one go, and the whole process went very smoothly. Our Mobility Plus surveyor really looked after us and even helped us to choose the accessories we wanted to finish it all off.’’

Mr and Mrs Eady decided to have a new easy-access bathroom and, after looking at all of the available options, they chose a rimless sliding door shower enclosure from the Mobility Plus Richmond range with safety grab rails, shower seat, easy clean wall and ceiling panels, slip resistant flooring and a new high pan toilet and basin. A smooth, stress-free upgrade was completed within a few days and Mr and Mrs Eady now have a beautiful contemporary bathroom suitable for a lifetime of good use.

Mrs Eady said: “We would recommend Mobility Plus to anyone. They gave us really sound advice and their service was very friendly and efficient. We really love our new bathroom and we can now enjoy a shower again, anytime.”

How can a warm bath help arthritis?

How can a warm bath help arthritis?

Part of dealing with and living with arthritis is looking after your body in every way possible. From healthy eating, low impact exercise, drinking plenty of water and getting a regular muscle stimulation therapy to taking a warm bath.

Arthritis in hands

All of these things can help you live with arthritis and make your daily routine that bit easier for you. You might be wondering ‘how can a warm walk-in bathhelp me?” Well the answer is simple. The warm temperature promotes blood flow to the affected areas and the pressure on your arthritis is alleviated because of the reduced gravity on the joints. You should take this opportunity to do some basic movements of your joints, this will help to reduce stiffness and encourage your range of movement.

To go one step further, a jet spa is said to ease the pain even more because the jets together with the warmth promotes blood circulation even more. See the Hampton Elite Hydro Spa Walk-In Bath and the Independence Elite Hydro Spa Walk-In bath
