As we age, our bodies lose muscle. Not only do we have decreased physical strength, but we also become more sensitive to touch. My coworker’s elderly mother complains that even brushing her hair hurts. This extra sensitivity for pain is a reason why many bath safety products are designed with comfort in mind.
Padded transfer benches are available to assist from wheelchair straight to shower in complete ease. Thick padding covers the entire bench seating area for the utmost in comfort.
Transfer benches are also available to do the sliding for you. Sometimes the act of sliding across a bench can be very uncomfortable, especially to those without much muscle for support. By sitting in the specially designed seat, it is possible to slide into the shower position with no duress on a delicate derriere.
Shower chairs are also available with an extra padded seat and ergonomic design for a pain free shower experience. Don’t allow the fear of discomfort to limit your ability to take care of your basic hygiene needs. Padded transfer benches and shower chairs will make your shower pleasant.
