NEW: A Shower Seat With A Difference
There are many shower seats available, but we’re not satisfied designing just another seat, we have focused on designing a Full Length Back Shower Seat that offers real benefits and solutions for occupational therapists, chiropractors and physiotherapists, as well, of course as the end user.
What is the purpose
of BACK support?
When we move from a standing to a seated position our lumbar
curve flattens. Most of us associate sitting down as a comfort, but we possibly
don’t appreciate that sitting down, for some people, can offer discomfort if
they suffer with back, neck or pelvic pain, as the sitting position can
increase stress on the bodies soft tissue, joints & discs.
And for people who may need to sit when taking a shower, it
shouldn’t be uncomfortable for them to do so.
The addition of a free back support cushion helps to support
the lower back quickly and conveniently, helping to relieve stress and strain
from key muscle groups by promoting proper spine alignment and maintaining the
spines natural ‘S’ curve.
Padded armrests aim to avoid additional strain to the neck
& shoulders, whilst still being able to ‘flip up’ independently where side
transfers are required.
RECOMMENDED POSITION
The cushion can be easily adjusted to enhance comfort for
individual users by simply prising the cushion away from the seat’s backrest
& repositioning in the backrest slots.
For optimum support and to maintain the ‘S’ curve of the
spine the back cushion should be positioned flush against the small of the
back.
Multiple adjustment locations mean the cushion can also be
rotated by 180° so everyone should be able to find the perfect comfort point.
As previously mentioned, the Full Length Back Shower Seat offers real benefits for independence. The seats curved
padding wraps slightly around the body to support an upright sitting position
and the adjustable height legs should be set so the user’s feet are flat on the
bathroom floor.
Other benefits:
· Easy to clean – all seat pads are easily removed
by hand.
· Long Lasting – lifetime guarantee.
· Durable – seat load capacity 285kg or 45 stone.
· Practical – a folding shower seat which folds against the wall when not in use.
· High contrast – vivid blue pads provide contrast
for people who suffer with a visual impairment or dementia.
If you’re all about identifying products to make
showering accessible for everyone and enhancing your clients independence then
