2. TYPES OF BATHING THERAPY
Bathing has many therapeutic advantages for residents, including soothing muscles, improving circulation and relaxing the mind. When choosing a tub, there are different options for therapy to help achieve these benefits.
WHIRLPOOL THERAPY: Improves peripheral blood circulation Requires disinfection between every bath, as internal water lines can easily grow bacteria that lead to cross-contamination
Some tubs feature pipeless whirlpool technology that offers a quieter bathing experience with fewer risks of cross-contamination
AIR SPA THERAPY: Utilizes one-way valves to push air into the spa to create bubbling motion Triggers touch receptors on skin to help stimulate blood circulation and the lymphatic system Air lines do not require disinfection, as no water is running through the air spa system While this form of therapy can often add to a resident’s comfort during bathing, the therapeutic impact is not as effective as a whirlpool system
