Martina Tierney Occupational Therapist (OT) worked in acute care, community, nursing homes, rehab and many different areas of OT but could not find chairs to meet the needs of her patients.
Martina realised that people needed chairs researched, designed and made bespoke to their individual needs. She set out to change the world of healthcare seating by designing chairs that would meet pressure, posture, comfort, mobility and functional requirements together in one device.
Along with her family, Martina compiled a team of clinical designers, world leading researchers and engineers to make this vision a reality.
But good seating alone isn’t enough.
Even today, too many people continue to endure constant pain because of poor posture. Too many people suffer a reduced quality of life from completely avoidable pressure sores. Too much money is being spent by our health services on reacting to these problems after it is too late.
Proper seating can solve each of these problems and save our health services much needed money in the process. To change the world of healthcare seating, we are increasing the knowledge available to us and sharing it with you.
