I spoke with the ILC Physiotherapist who was very helpful, informative and friendly. She took a lot of time explaining how important it is having the correct size chair, to improve mobility and posture issues. She then took the measurements I would require and gave me all my information I needed to help me buy the right armchair for me. She also helped me with finding kitchen equipment to assist me with the issues that I have with my hands. We also looked at improving the crutches that I use, so as to relieve some of the stress to my body. I was highly impressed and delighted at the care shown by the staff at the Independent Living Centre in Newton Abbot.
