Rehabilitation and treatment
WHEELCHAIRS, POSTURE AND SEATING
Rehabilitation and treatment
Our therapists provide rehabilitation programmes to clients in their own homes, place of work or suitable area of their community. We work in collaboration with the client, as well as with other professionals (for example, Physiotherapists, Case Managers and Psychologists) as well as their family members and carers, to ensure rehabilitation is focused on improving their quality of life. We aim to empower clients to be as independent as possible in a relevant, timely, goal orientated way.

WHEELCHAIRS, POSTURE AND SEATING
We are specialists in wheelchairs, seating and posture, working for the best outcome for your wheelchair needs, be that powered or manual, to enhance your independence.
Our experienced therapists can provide an assessment and put you in touch with the best local and national equipment providers to get you what you need to be independent - and we can be there throughout that process too.
We offer advice on 24/7 posture management in order to prevent or, maintain asymmetrical body shape, changes that effect falls, developing secondary conditions, skin integrity deterioration and loss of independence.
FALL PREVENTION
ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENTS
WHEELCHAIRS, POSTURE AND SEATING
The causes of having a fall are multifactorial. They can be due to muscle weakness, poor balance, visual impairment, certain medicines, environmental hazards or specific medical conditions. As we age our body shape changes, influenced by the interactions with surfaces when sitting, lying or standing. Certain medical conditions, compensatory postural change, gravity induced changes when sat dormant in unsupportive seating, or lying in bed for long periods of time can all contribute. These changes can also occur throughout our lives too.
Body shape changes can be reduced or prevented, with education, knowledge and equipment, in order to delay balance issues developing when our centre of gravity falls outside our base of support. Ocean City Therapy advocates a 24/7 posture management approach, in order to prevent, correct, slow down or accommodate body shape changes, as part of our fall’s prevention practice.

We perform a comprehensive evaluation to ensure the home environment is safe and suitable for the patient’s needs. This is important to:
- Enhance Safety: Minimise risks of falls and injuries at home.
- Improved Independence: Enable the patient to perform daily activities independently or with minimal assistance.
- Better Quality of Life: Ensure the patient feels comfortable, confident, and supported in their home environment.
- Reduced Readmission: Decrease the likelihood of hospital readmission by providing a safe and supportive home environment.
