Current stats show that 66% of eye care professionals experience neck or back pain, leading to burnout and early retirement.

The Ophthalmology Times reported a projected 30% shortage in workforce capacity by 2035, forcing clinics to consider how they can protect staff wellbeing while keeping up with patient demand.

Because let’s face it, when clinicians are overloaded and struggling with neck and back pain, patient care suffers, and expensive equipment underperforms.

So what’s the answer?

The VELA Move+ Ophthalmology chair is designed to reduce musculoskeletal strain and align patients precisely with slit lamps, OCTs and other devices.

Today is World OT day!

It goes without saying that we love the OT community, and as a specialist seating provider have some great relationships with Occupational Therapy Services all over the UK 💙🤝

Indeed we are expanding our reach to OT Services outside the UK but that might be the subject of another social media post… 👀 😁

We can vouch for OTs when they say they do ‘all of the above’, it really is a multi-faceted role wearing many hats, being counsellor/friend/mentor/nutritionist/PT adviser .. oh and did we mention seating adviser? 😅

To support OTs with their mammoth workload we have a handy resource bank that includes webinars, training videos, seating guides and tools, blogposts, chair justification forms and much more! 📚📑🎞️
