Pure Pleasure

Few things in life are as pleasant as a warm bath. Humans have been flocking to warm water since the cavemen first found a natural hot springs pool and jumped in. Long before the health benefits were understood, people innately knew that they physically felt better with a bath, but they also felt better in their thoughts, emotions, and spirit.

Scientists have now discovered that warm water baths calm the mind and ease troubled emotions. Baths reduce the causes of stress. As the mind clears and stresses reduce, positive energy fills the void and pleasure, relaxation, and bathing bliss are yours to enjoy.

Natural Pain Relief

When you get into a tub of perfectly heated water, your body immediately appreciates the warm temperature. Your body reacts to the warm water by creating endorphins, your body’s natural pain killers. The warm water warms your blood, which allows it to circulate better throughout your body and to deliver the endorphins to your painful joints and muscles. A warm water soak also dilates your blood vessels further increasing circulation. So, endorphins and oxygen flow more freely all over your body not only blocking pain but also bringing more oxygen and white blood cells to relieve inflammation, relax muscles, and promote cell renewal and healing.

Also, as you enter your warm water tub, your body appreciates another of nature’s wonders…buoyancy. In water you feel like you weigh less, up to 90% less! This near “weightlessness” reduces the compression and tension all over your submerged body…your joints, your heart, your blood, and your muscles.

With all this pressure removed from your joints, organs and muscles, you feel much lighter and pain is reduced, your range of motion increases and your flexibility is better.

Obviously, soaking in a tub of warm water brings you many, many bodily benefits. But, it gets better. By adding motion to buoyancy and warm water, we elevate the enjoyment and effectiveness of the bath. Motion can come from either warm air bubbles or whirlpools of water…or both can be enjoyed at the same time. We recommend the warm air flow over water jets for hygiene reasons as well as maintenance.

All Bath-Plan Bath Walk in Tubs offer an optional Deluxe Hydrotherapy Air Spa System

The air spa features a control system that allows for increasing the air flow at a gradual rate of speed at the push of a button. A ceramic heating element provides warm air that maintains the water temperature and warms the surface. Back-flow prevention spring loaded jets eliminate the need for back flushing air lines, providing for longer life than rubber flap style jets often utilized by lesser products. The smart system automatically runs the blower about 20 minutes after you've drained and exited the tub to dry it.

Rane's hydrotherapy system brings a new dimension to your bathing experience. The hydrotherapy air jets are strategically positioned to give your body maximum coverage, ensuring that your entire body benefits from the bath. The real secret to the hydrotherapy bath is in the pulses of the air jet bubbles and our adjustable control allows you to decide how just much stimulation is needed for your aches and pains. You can also set it to "wave mode" which automatically varies the stimulation by increasing and decreasing the flow of air and bubbles.

Water Jets, Aromatherapy and Chromatherapy options are also available

Motion triggers touch receptors on the skin, which help to further increase blood circulation and to stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps speed up the elimination of toxins. Motion also helps loosen tight muscles, relaxes tension, and reduces stress.

A university study showed that 85% of those people interviewed preferred having bubble/whirlpool massage motion in their bath verses soaking only.

All in all, a nice warm bath is natural pain relief at its best. No pills, no prescription medications, no trips to the doctor’s office or drug store, just natural pain relief right in the convenience and privacy of your own home.

Better Sleep Patterns

Taking a hot bath before bed can help induce sleep, says Paul Martin, author of a new book called Counting Sheep. This is because your body temperature has a strong influence on how fast you fall asleep. A night's sleep is normally preceded by a slight drop in body temperature and scientists have established that this drop in temperature tells your body to go to sleep. The theory behind taking a hot bath is to raise your body temperature artificially before allowing it to drop again as it adjusts to the cooler environment of your room. The trick says Martin, is to take a bath one to two hours before bedtime and keep your bath temperature warm, rather than hot.

Stay-At-Home Independence

Being able to safely bathe at home is very important to most baby boomers and seniors. It is something you probably have done all your life and you have a strong desire to continue doing so well into the future. A walk in bathtub provides you the avenue to realize that desire. It allows you to get all the natural health benefits with safe, easy access through its door. And it allows you to get all this very conveniently in the bathroom privacy of your own home. Avoiding a fall (most commonly occurring in the bathroom) is one of the best ways to help keep you healthier longer.

For Seniors, a walk in bathtub could be just the thing that allows you to gracefully age in the privacy and convenience of your cherished home instead of moving in with relatives or going to some sort of group living establishment. And from an economic standpoint, a new Rane Bathing System could also be a very wise investment. A Rane walk in bathtub will probably cost you less than a couple of months rent in a good assisted living, nursing or other type care facility. If your new tub allows you to stay at home, even for just a few more months, the tub probably will have paid for itself. In addition, your new Rane Bathing System may add value to your home.
