| Services Offered: | People who find it hard to move are at risk of developing changes in their body shape. These changes can make life much more difficult for the person and for those caring for them, they are also preventable. Understanding the biomechanics of body shape distortion, including the predictable patterns associated with different lying postures, allows us to apply corrective forces. Objective and validated measurement of body symmetry, using the Goldsmith Indices, ensure that we work to a robust evidence base.
Our teams train people to protect body shape using therapeutic positioning, particularly at night. This form of therapy is very gentle and based on common sense principles. Our training is accredited and quality assured through the Open College Network. Night positioning involves using the long hours spent in bed, usually about a third of the year, to gently position the person to prevent stresses on joints or even to restore existing problems with body shape. The earlier you start to protect body shape the better – but it’s never too late. Our courses provide you with practical skills that you can adapt and develop to suit your needs. If you would like to talk this through with one of our team please don’t hesitate to get in touch. |
