When a condition changes the way someone moves, even choosing the right chair can become a much bigger decision.

πŸ§‘β€βš•οΈ Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare neurological condition that affects movement, balance, swallowing and eye movements. As the condition progresses, everyday tasks such as sitting down and standing up can become increasingly difficult.

πŸ’Ί So what makes a chair suitable for someone living with PSP?

✨ Our latest guide looks at the best types of chairs for people with PSP, designed to make transfers and positioning easier.πŸ’™

πŸ₯ Why do some patients leave hospital weaker than when they arrived?

Hospital admissions are focused on treating illness, but there's another important challenge that can often go unnoticed: hospital-based deconditioning.

Prolonged bed rest and inactivity can lead to muscle loss, reduced strength, and a loss of independence sometimes in just a matter of days.

With winter pressures placing even greater demands on NHS services, preventing deconditioning has never been more important.

What can healthcare teams do to help?
βœ”οΈ Encourage early mobilisation
βœ”οΈ Support patients to get dressed and out of bed
βœ”οΈ Provide appropriate, comfortable seating
βœ”οΈ Prioritise movement and rehabilitation

Small changes can make a big difference to recovery and patient outcomes.

Discover why patients weaken in hospital and what can be done to prevent it:

We’re pleased to be celebrating OT week, and this year’s theme is Participation Changes Everything πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘

We see it all the time in the community where people are unable to participate in their favourite activities, because they are stuck in bed or an uncomfortable armchair in their room πŸ›ŒπŸͺ‘πŸ˜”

Getting clients into a mobile care chair or riser recliner and seeing them enjoy life again is one of the biggest joys we have on a daily basis as seating assessors! πŸ™Œβ˜ΊοΈ

🧠 World Stroke Day 2026: Every M1nute Counts

Did you know?
⏱️ Every 5 minutes someone in the UK has a stroke
🌍 Around 12 million people worldwide experience a stroke every year.

Every minute matters when someone is having a stroke. Recognising the signs and seeking emergency medical help can save lives and improve the chances of recovery.

πŸ’š But recovery doesn't stop when someone leaves hospital.

Returning home after a stroke can bring new challenges, with reduced mobility and an increased risk of falls. Creating a safe home environment plays an important part in helping people rebuild their confidence and independence.

Our latest blog explores practical ways to make the home safer after a stroke or fall, including:
⚠️ Reducing trip hazards
🏠 Improving accessibility
πŸ’Ί Choosing appropriate equipment and seating to support everyday activities.

How does seating help in coronary care? ❀️

Early mobilisation is an important part of cardiac recovery, helping patients gradually regain their strength and independence following a cardiac event or surgery.

The right chair can support this process by making it easier for patients to move from bed to sitting, helping them take those important first steps towards recovery.

Discover what to look for when choosing chairs for a Coronary Care Unit (CCU) in our latest guide:

πŸ’Ί The right seating can make a big difference after a stroke, supporting common postural challenges:

πŸ”Ή Lateropulsion – tilt-in-space to encourage a more centralised posture
πŸ”Ή Passive lean – lateral supports to help stabilise the trunk
πŸ”Ή Poor head control – head and neck support for improved positioning
πŸ”Ή Poor leg positioning – channelled legrests and padded footplates to support alignment
