Posture and Seating

Our Philosophy

We believe in finding solutions to provide comfort, improve function and prevent secondary complications which result from poor posture.

Our experienced therapists have adopted a holistic 24-hour posture management approach, ‘with the aim of optimizing the physical wellbeing of a person with severe and complex disability’ (Pope 2007).
