This will ensure that the chair meet your needs in terms of size, comfort and posture control. Poor seating can lead to increased pain, particularly in the back, hips and neck, pressure sores and decreased mobility and independence.

Try to find a local hydrotherapy pool as this is a therapeutic whole-body treatment that involves moving and exercising in water – essentially physiotherapy in a pool. The water temperature is usually 33–36ºC, which is warmer than a typical swimming pool. Many hospices and hospitals have hydrotherapy pools.
