Backache-16

How to Take a Bath

Bathrooms are a common place of accidents in modern life.  The act of bathing in standing position is the ideal condition for an accident to occur. The floor is slippery because of soap & water, eyes closed, breath is held, due to soap /shampoo on the eyes & in nostrils & the hands is groping in the dark here & there to hold the water tap or the shower. A little tilt in the body-balance can cause a sprain in the back in an attempt to prevent the fall. But, if the actual fall occurs, fracture of the hip bone or wrist takes place. It is best to take bath while sitting on a stool- high or low, depending upon once own choice. If for some reason, one has to take bath in standing position, some support must be provided during the proced.
