Bathing and dressing can become dreaded tasks when dealing with back pain. Bending and twisting might be impossible, painful or even exacerbate your pain and range of motion. Here are some products that can help bridge the gap between your mobility limitations and being able to get self care tasks done comfortably.
For the Shower: Long handled sponges or loofahs to help you wash areas you can’t reach. A razor extender so you can shave your legs again. An Empower Towel so you can dry your whole body effectively without bending or twisting.
For dressing: What I’ve found the hardest when my back is bad is getting my socks and shoes on. There are sock helpers that help you pull up your socks and shoes that you can slip in and out of without bending.
What are some things that have helped you?
