Pressure Care Assessment

Pressure care plays a vital role in maintaining skin integrity, comfort, and overall health, especially for individuals with reduced mobility, limited sensation, or increased time spent sitting or lying down. At Russell Occupational Therapy, our Pressure Care Assessments focus on identifying risk areas early and ensuring you have the right supports in place to prevent pressure injuries and maintain long-term wellbeing.

We thoroughly assess your seating, bedding, and daily positioning needs, examining factors such as posture, support surfaces, mobility levels, and current equipment setup. Based on this assessment, we recommend pressure-relieving cushions, mattresses, specialised seating systems, and positioning strategies designed to improve comfort, reduce risk, and enhance safety.

We collaborate closely with you, your care team, equipment suppliers, and relevant funding bodies to ensure that all recommendations are practical, evidence-based, and well-supported. Our goal is to create a tailored pressure care plan that promotes comfort, prevents skin breakdown, and supports your overall quality of life.
