Manual handling 

Does your carer have back pain from helping you?

Do you need help to stand from your chair? 

Do you lean over your walker to reach your chair? 

We can help!

What we offer:

- Comprehensive assessment of you and how your carer helps you within the home. 
- Discussion with you on potential strategies that may be beneficial, including equipment and/or education.
- In-home or in-store equipment trial.  
- Report writing and sourcing of quotes for your funding body. 
- Written, demonstration and practical education on safe manual handling. 

 

Examples of common manual handling strategies: 

- Lifting aids, such as a hoist. 
- Carer positioning when assisting with self care tasks. 
- Environmental set-up to promote use of equipment.
