Once referred. a team member will conduct a comprehensive assessment and prescribe the appropriate supports for your wants and needs. Our team work with a range of equipment including manual and power wheelchairs, and also supported lying equipment. The team also offers ongoing support for you through yearly postural reviews and 3-6 monthly touch points with you to ensure that you are getting the best out of your equipment.
Our team works with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists; but also, other stakeholders such as you and your own support network, teachers and/or employers. Good postural support solutions can only be achieved through a strong collaboration between all parties to ensure the best fit possible is found.
While many may think postural support solutions refer mainly to equipment provision, it is actually provided in collaboration with other active therapy interventions. For example, a person may be provided with a full postural support seating in conjunction with an at-home exercise program or activity-based interventions in order to maintain range of movement.
