This podcast is for therapists looking to stay at the forefront of AT.
By tuning in, you can enhance your professional development and refine your clinical approaches – redefining what’s possible for you and your clients.
In this episode of Redefining What’s Possible, Sarah is joined by Steph Bell, Product Trainer at Medifab, to explore how therapists can put supported lying and positioning into practice. Following on from our previous episode with Ed Milner, Why Supported Lying Matters, Steph walks through the practical process: setting goals, running a full risk assessment, and building the right sleep system for each client. Whether you’re new to supported lying and positioning or building on the fundamentals, this episode offers a clear framework you can apply with your next client.
The way we lie is the way we sit, stand, move and function. In Episode 10 of Redefining What’s Possible, occupational therapist and clinical educator Ed Milner from Medifab makes the case for why supported lying deserves a place in every 24-hour postural care plan. Ed unpacks why lying down is far from a passive, low-risk position for people with movement difficulties, and how the forces at play through the night can quietly contribute to body shape distortion over time.
The portable powerchair category is growing fast, but until now most options have been too small, too limited, or too restrictive to suit the wide variety of people who need them.
In this episode, host Sarah Uncle sits down with Sally Kentell, OT and Assistive Technology Professional from the ILS Light Rehab team, to introduce the Royale Robooter range, four new portable powerchairs that are new to ILS for 2026.
