Last week, Tony (Clinical Specialist Orthotist) and Julie (Sales Rep) spent time with the brilliant Physiotherapy team at Seashell Trust - a national charity transforming the lives of children and young adults with the most complex learning disabilities and communication needs.
We don’t always get the opportunity to work so closely with charities like Seashell, and when we do, it’s a real privilege. Seashell supports young people across the UK facing significant physical, cognitive, and sensory challenges and the work their clinicians navigate daily are complexity at the highest level.
We delivered hands-on training on SWASH (Sitting, Walking and Standing Hip Orthosis) and carried out assessment and measurement for a young man who is likely to benefit from it. And to our surprise, the team told us they’d never come across SWASH® before despite it supporting children and young people for over 30 years.
What makes SWASH different is its controlled, variable abduction supporting hip alignment not just in standing and walking, but also in sitting, adapting to movement rather than restricting it.
And yes... just to address it, we do usually wear shoes to work.
A huge thank you to the Seashell team for such an open, engaged session and for the incredible work you do every single day.
👉 If you’d like to learn more about SWASH, access our online training, or arrange a demo, comment SWASH and we’ll point you in the right direction.
