What is Postural Care?
Postural Care is a gentle, respectful, and effective strategy to protect and restore body
shape, muscle tone and quality of life!

In terms of safety, failure to provide postural care means exposing people to an obvious risk which
could be guarded against.
Past evidence shows that without postural care people (of any age) who find it hard to move (for any
reason) are often left in easily avoidable damaging positions which distort their body, and conversely
the supportive symmetrical postures which protect body shape.
24-hour Postural Care enables individuals with movement difficulties to grow and/or stay as straight,
independent and comfortable as possible. Good physical care is fundamental to wellbeing and has a
profound beneficial effect on quality of life for the individual and all those who care for them.
