Wheelchair and Seating Assessments

At Russell Occupational Therapy, wheelchair and seating assessments are one of our key areas of specialty. With extensive experience in assessing, prescribing, and fitting wheelchairs, we understand how crucial the right setup is for long-term comfort, posture, and independence. A poorly fitted wheelchair can lead to pain, pressure injuries, reduced mobility, and long-term functional issue, which is why we take the time to ensure every detail is carefully considered.

During the assessment, we explore your posture, mobility needs, daily routines, environmental demands, and long-term goals. We work closely with you, your support network, our trusted equipment suppliers, and all relevant funding bodies to ensure your wheelchair solution is clinically appropriate, comfortable, safe, and fully supported.

From manual and powered wheelchairs to specialised seating systems, pressure care solutions, and custom configurations, our goal is to prescribe equipment that enhances your independence and improves quality of life. Together, we ensure your wheelchair isn’t just a mobility aid, it becomes a personalised, supportive tool that enables you to participate fully in the activities that matter most.
