Bariatric Step Stool for Physical Therapy

Overweight people taking physical therapy have a special need when using a step stool. The step stool has to be rated at 500 pounds for bariatric needs. There are many step stools that are being used as bariatric step stools such as wooden steps, but if you inspect the step stool closely you will NOT find any kind of load rating on them. It doesn't make sense to go to the trouble of going to your physical therapy class to improve your health only to get injured from an inferior step stool that couldn't hold your weight when exercising.

The bariatric segment of the US population is increasing and rehabilitation facilities are busier now more than ever. It doesn't seem right that the rehab facilities aren't using the best possible step stools for their patients.

Doctor's offices and hospitals have not taken enough action concerning bariatric patient's needs either. You can still find the little chrome step stool that hospitals have used for years in hospitals & doctors everywhere. Why? Because they are not paying attention to special needs of needs of their bariatric patients.
