I think it will work well for you as long as you have the inline heater to keep the water warm and you can always have a large towel or robe handy by the tub to cover up as the tub empties. I have a large jetted tub and sit in it every night for about 1.5hrs while I read quilt magazines or a book. It really helps relax me and Dr. recommended it since I retain water. Said the jetted action helps force tissue fluid back into my blood vessels. Thankfully I have no issues with my knees or legs so can get in and out easily. Good luck!
