Wheelchair Seating & Mobility

We provide essential complex wheelchair and seating intervention that supports and enhances mobility, dignity, participation, and meaningful occupation, while improving overall health and wellbeing for wheelchair users.

Our expert seating team of occupational and physical therapists provide wheelchair and seating services throughout British Columbia, the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

We provide comprehensive community-based assessment that considers the whole person and their environment. Our team works closely with our clients, their healthcare team, and their chosen medical equipment supplier to ensure the most appropriate equipment is provided to meet their identified goals. Seating solutions are customized to the individual, as no two people or seating systems are the same. Our team is experienced with custom rigid manual wheelchairs, alternate drive control systems, custom contoured seating including Ride Designs, and other complex seating and mobility interventions.
