🎄 JUST 3 MONTHS TO CHRISTMAS! 🎄

Yes… we said it. Christmas is officially getting closer! 😱🎅

And if you’re looking for a gift that could win you serious brownie points for years to come, we’ve got an idea…

🪑 A rise and recline chair!

Because chocolates get eaten. Socks get lost. Aftershave runs out…

But a beautifully made rise and recline chair? That’s a gift they can enjoy every single day. ❤️

Whether it’s for a parent, grandparent, partner or someone special, the right chair can bring comfort, support and a little more independence — all wrapped up in one very generous Christmas present. 🎁

⚠️ But don’t leave it until Christmas Eve!

With chairs needing to be selected, ordered and made to measure just for you, now is the time to get things moving if you want it sitting proudly under the Christmas tree. 🎄

📞 Contact us today and we’ll help you find your nearest dealer.
Because if you really want to be their favourite person this Christmas…
you know what to do. 😉🪑

Thank you to Iain and the team at Cortex Physiotherapy for asking us to display a selection of our equipment in their new premises in King Street, Kilmarnock. It is a great partnership we are building which allows us to support both our customers at Thistle Help and Cortex's clients. We look forward to welcoming enquiries in the near future 💜

💚 A little something new in our reception!

If you’re visiting the clinic, you might notice a few new additions when you come through the door!

Our partners at Thistle Help have kindly provided us with a selection of mobility equipment to display here at Cortex, giving our clients and families a chance to see some of the different equipment and solutions they can provide.

We’ve worked closely with the team at Thistle Help for some time now, carrying out joint assessments and helping people find the right equipment to support their mobility, confidence and independence. It’s a partnership that works really well, combining our knowledge of rehabilitation and our clients individual needs with their expertise in mobility equipment and adaptations.

Having some of their equipment right here in the clinic means we can now show clients examples and have conversations about what might be useful for them.

A huge thank you to everyone at Thistle Help for trusting us with the equipment and helping us make our new reception space even more useful for the people who come through our doors. 💚

Another wee addition to our new clinic, and another way we can help people work towards greater independence. 👏
