FAQ
Postural supportis a 24-hour daily management regime that supports better anatomical alignment of a person to optimise postures, prevent postural distortions, and maximize daily functioning. It’s important because it has long-term health outcomes, is backed by substantial clinical evidence, and is widely recognised by health professionals and care recipients. Proper postural management can significantly improve a person’s quality of life and ability to participate in daily activities.
Our Postural Support Team conducts yearly postural reviews to ensure that the postural supports are meeting customers’ postural and functional needs. Additionally, they complete 3-6 monthly touch points with customers to ensure the recommended postural solutions continue to meet their needs. This regular review process helps to address any changes in the individual’s condition or requirements.
