As we Boomers age, I'm sure companies will cater to our older bodies. And why wouldn't they? We're a concentrated population of over 70 million customers who, in the years ahead, will suffer from arthritis, muscle and joint deterioration, as well as broken bones and diabetes-related neuropathy. I'm already starting to have Boomer friends who are having knees and hips replaced and arthritis is becoming as common in our generation as it was in our parents'.
I just found one company online that's ready to cater to us now. They're called HydroWorx and they refer to their products as the "ultimate indoor exercise pools and swim spas for home healthcare, and sports". They have hydrotherapy pools which can be installed in your home or business that have underwater treadmills, resistance jets you can swim against, massage jets for just relaxing and some of them even have heart monitoring equipment. These pools, some of which have graduated water depths, are ideal for aquatic therapy/rehabilitation, sports conditioning or just family fun. I've already started looking around the house for somewhere I could install one. I've always wanted a pool with the resistance jets that let you feel you're swimming long distances when you're actually swimming in place.
If you're interested in the HydroWorx pools, they'll send you a free brochure with a CD. Just go to: http://hydroworx.com/contact-us-pro.aspx. Aging might not be so bad if we have these types of products to help us through our golden years.
