Moving your body is so important especially as we age and on those days we sit without moving for longer periods.
Its important to fuel our body with good healthy food and hydrating your body.
Any concerns regarding pressure, redness or breakdown should be highlighted to your medical team and checked.
Reaching out to others allows you to build friendships with others who know how you feel and can offer advice and support.
If you find yourself uncomfortable in any of your equipment reach out, try different set ups, for wheelchairs this can include cushions and a postural backrest it can also be changing the set up of your wheelchair to enable you to sit and be supported in your chair.
