What our Occupational Therapists say...

Absolutely. One of the most common places to fall or slip at home is your bathroom, which is why we offer such a wide range of disabled bathroom equipment, bathing aids and bath accessories that are ideal for both the elderly and disabled.

The products within our bathroom aids section have been designed to help keep you steady on your feet and make bathing safer, yet still enjoyable, particularly for those who are older or living with a condition such as:

  • Arthritis
  • Sciaticaor other back pain
  • Joint pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Respiratory problems such asCOPD
  • Muscle weakness or pain
  • Incontinence
  • Anginaor other heart disease
  • Multiple Sclerosis,Parkinson’sor other neurological conditions

Most people like to bathe at least once a day, not only to keep clean but to relax and also ease pain, so having the right bathroom aids can make this activity much easier and more enjoyable.

Preventing falls is key to reducing fractures and other injuries which can severely affect your independence in carrying out daily activities. For that reason, you’ll find a number of bathroom aids on our site which can steady you and give you extra support and confidence when bathing.

Temporary bathroom aids, such as aSuction Grab BarorFolding Shower Stool,are lightweight and easy to transport – making them ideal when staying overnight at a hotel or friends house. More permanent variations, such as awall mounted fixed grab railor awall mounted shower seatcan be fitted for long term use at home.
