The quality of life is something that every person desires. The highest degree of healthiness is the essence of the quality of life, for whenever an individual is healthy, he or she can work, be involved in recreation, and carry on general daily activities without the experience of pain due to some form of physical ailment. Regrettably, millions of people experience some sort of physical disability resulting in pain.

Back pain is a major cause of certain disabilities and it is a very common characteristic that people suffer from. Back pain is indiscriminate and can inflict anyone of any age. Young and old alike experience the agonizing fact of having back troubles some time in their life. At times the pain is minor and too often it is excruciating and unbearable.

Back pain is the most frequent cause of activity limitation in people younger than 45 years old and this distressing situation is the fifth most common reason for all physician visits in the United States. Incredibly, Americans spend a staggering $50 billion a year endeavoring to get their back pain treated!

The reasons for back pain are basically twofold:

1. Injury – Injury to the back has many different causes. Automobile accidents, engaging in sporting activities, slips and falls, occupational injuries, and freak accidents that occur in the home can lead to back trauma. This pain can range from the minor to this serious.

2. Senescence (Aging) – Everyone grows older and with the advancement of age comes a degeneration of the spinal column. This normal degeneration is a result of the loss of height in the disc space between the vertebrae. On average, this happens when ever someone reaches the age of 30 and beyond. People also tend to be less active and not exercise as much once they age. The combination of decreased muscle tone combined with less activity and aging of the disc, sets one up one to be prone to back pain. The spine is a carefully balanced column of vertebrae held in place by muscles.

People that suffer from back pain find it extremely difficult to take a bath. The unnatural curvature and hard surface in a bathtub puts immense stress and pressure on in all ready to diseased spine. This pressure, over time, can cause spinal stenosis which is a debilitating disease in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves which results in agonizing pain and limits mobility.

Coping with this chronic pain is certainly a struggle while trying to bath. Conversely, The Comforter Bather Reclining Air Powered Bath Lift is a uniquely inflatable bathing cushion that can assist both the disabled and elderly who need mobility assistance in a bathtub.

This product can also function as a preventative maintenance cushion to prevent further damage to the spine.

Everyone wants to curtail the painful results from degenerative spinal disease that can be exacerbated by sitting on the bottom of a bathtub. The surface of a hard bath tub can further complicate an already injured or diseased vertebra by causing tremendous strain on many portions of the back. Many experts in the medical field of orthopedics recommend not sitting on the bottom of a bathtub. However, with the Mangar Comforter Bather Reclining Air Powered Bath Lif, one can enjoy the soothing therapeutic and cleansing effects of taking a bath. This enjoyment can become apparent without any fear of negative effects on the spine.

The Bathing Cushion offers more than traditional bath lifts because it lifts you up with air using an Airflo battery operated low pressure pump. This product is an incredibly portable bathing cushion because it only weighs 4.5 pounds. It is easy to install, handle, and remove. It gives the bather the ability to descend within 1.5 inches from the bottom of the tub. The user can rest assured that this bath lift will not move while in operation as a result of the suction cups being placed in the front and back of the unit. Ultimate security is assured.

This is the ideal bath lift to take with you on vacation.

This incredible bath lift has the ability to recline so that you can position yourself at many locations, lie back and enjoy the totality of your tub. This easily functioning bath tub lift supports up to 300 pounds and has a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty.

One now can experience a higher quality of life. The Home Accessibility Store labors tirelessly to ensure that its customer’s mobility needs are met. Freedom from pain or the minimizing of it is very important for an individual to enjoy life throughout their daily activities. It is time for you to start experiencing this joy.

The Bathers $51.1 Jennette Williams’s stunning platinum prints of women bathers in Budapest and Istanbul take us inside spaces intimate and public, austere and sensuous, filled with water, steam, tile, stone, ethereal sunlight, and earthly flesh. Over a period of eight years, Williams, who is based in New York City, traveled to Hungary and Turkey to photograph, without sentimentality or objectification, women daring enough to stand naked before her camera. Young and old, the women of "The Bathers" inhabit and display their bodies with comfort and ease–floating, showering, conversing, lost in reverie. To create the images in "The Bathers," Williams drew on gestures and poses found in iconic paintings of nude women, including tableaux of bathers by Paul Cezanne and Auguste Renoir, renderings of Venus by Giorgione and Titian, Dominique Ingres’s "Odalisque and Slave," and Pablo Picasso’s "Les Demoiselles d’Avignon." By alluding to these images and others, Williams sought to reflect the religious and mythological associations of water with birth and rebirth, comfort and healing, purification and blessing. She also used copies of the paintings to communicate with her Hungarian- and Turkish-speaking subjects–homemakers, factory workers, saleswomen, secretaries, managers, teachers, and students. Working in steam-filled environments, Williams created quiet, dignified images that evoke not only canonical representations of female nudes but also early pictorial photography. At the same time, they raise contemporary questions about the gaze, the definition of documentary photography, and the representation and perception of beauty and femininity, particularly as they relate to the aging body. Above all else, her photos are sensuously evocative. They invite the viewer to feel the steam, hear the murmur of conversation, and reflect on the allure of the female form.

Bathers, c.1892-94 – Paul Cezanne $49 Paul Cézanne was born January 19th, 1839. He was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavor to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century’s new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne ?EE€?EEis the father of us all?EE€?EE cannot be easily dismissed.

Bathers, Bodies, Beauty: The Visceral Eye $37.93 To the eye of some viewers, Renoir’s "Great Bathers" are the very picture of female sensuality and beauty. To others, they embody a whole tradition of masculine mastery and feminine display. Yet others find in the bathers a feminine fantasy of bodily liberation. The points of view are many, various, occasionally startling–and through them, Linda Nochlin explores the contradictions and dissonances that mark experience as well as art. Her book–about art, the body, beauty, and ways of viewing–confronts the issues posed in representations particularly of the female body in the art of impressionists, modern masters, and contemporary realists and post-modernists. Nochlin begins by focusing on the painterly preoccupation with bathing, whether at the beach, in lakes and rivers, in public swimming pools, or in bathtubs. In discussions of Renoir, Manet, Cezanne, Bonnard, and Picasso, of late-twentieth-century and contemporary artists such as Philip Pearlstein, Alice Neel, and Jenny Saville, of grotesque imagery, the concept of beauty, and the body in realism, she develops an interpretive collage incorporating the readings of differing, strong-willed, female viewpoints. Among these is, of course, Nochlin’s own, a vantage point subtly charted here through a longtime engagement with art, art history, and artists. In many ways a personal book, "Bathers, Bodies, Beauty" brings to bear a lifetime of looking at, teaching, talking about, wrestling with, loving, and hating art to reveal and complicate the lived and felt–the visceral–experience of art.

Fall Foliage Called Bathers and Dancers $3.98 "My poems are often dreams; my dreams are poems," Alexandria Peary tells us in her marvelous first book. These poems describe a world resembling out own, beneath which she finds endless off-kilter surprise and beauty. "Outside," she writes in one in one startling moment, "the driftwood struggled like arms & legs" and, later, a recorded voice "looks just like a piece of tinfoil lying in the sun / in which you could go swimming." I’ve long admired Alexandria Peary’s intelligence, her evocative skills, and her gift for discovering in the everyday such dreamlike, frequently frightening, moments.

Tampa Bay’s Gulf Beaches $19.79 Tampa Bay’s Gulf Beaches follows the fascinating development of the beach strip along the Gulf of Mexico, from Pass-a-Grille to Clearwater Beach, from its early settlement in the late 1800s until its blossoming as a tourist haven after World War II. This famous beach strip is the pride of residents and a premier destination for beach lovers worldwide with its miles of white sand and glorious sunsets. History shows that just a century ago the strip was largely a vast wilderness visited primarily by fishermen and a few adventurous bathers and sightseers. Over the years, curiosity gradually gave way to an abiding affinity for these beautiful beaches and towns that sprang up along the shore. Through vintage postcards and photos, a diverse group of people and places are shown as they actually appeared-sportsmen and their "catches;" bathers whose attire evolved from bloomers and formal dress to one-piece bathing suits; the early "swing" and rickety wooden bridges; rustic frame hotels giving way to modern motels; the "downtown" areas of Indian Rocks Beach, Pass-a-Grille, Madeira Beach, and Clearwater Beach; plus casinos, bathhouses, waterslides, a Grand Hotel, and much more.

Hammaming in the Sham: A Journey Through the Turkish Baths of Damascus, Aleppo and Beyond $44.54 In The Hammams of Syria, Richard Boggs travels the length and breadth of modern Syria, documenting the traditions of bathing in Damascus, Aleppo and elsewhere, and his encounters with Syrians as they bathe.Legend has it that Damascus once had 365 hammams or ‘Turkish baths’: one for each day of the year. Originally part of an ancient Roman tradition, hammams were absorbed by Islam to such an extent that many became almost annexes to nearby mosques. For centuries, hammams were an integral part of community life, with some 50 hammams surviving in Damascus until the 1950s. Since then, however, with the onslaught of modernization programs and home bathrooms, many have been demolished; fewer than 20 Damascene working hammams survive today. In Boggs’ portrayal of life in the hammams he reveals how these ancient institutions cater for both body and soul, and through his conversations with the bathers within, he provides insights into the grass roots of contemporary Syrian society. Approximately 100 color photographs accompany the text, portraying the traditional neighborhoods of Damascus and Aleppo, and the almost religious feel of the hammams. The author’s intimate portraits of the baths’ employees and bathers show a unique side of Syria rarely exposed to the outside world.
