Postural Care refers to an approach that aims to preserve the body shape of people who have movement difficulties. People who have movement difficulties often are limited to the positions that they are able to maintain. This puts them at risk of changes to their posture. This is not inevitable; body shape can be protected with the right support.
Your child’s Physiotherapist will discuss this and support your child to look at their postural care over a 24-hour period. This often involves using equipment to support them in various positions, including in bed, on the floor and in standing.
