Try out our new powerchair at the Coventry Centre
We’re excited to introduce a new piece of equipment at our Coventry Centre: the Roma Reno Elite Powerchair with riser function, now available for demonstration.
This innovative powerchair can raise and lower the seat by up to 28cm, making transfers easier and boosting independence. The riser function helps users take a more active role in daily activities, join in with social and work situations, and enjoy the physical, mental, and functional benefits of increased mobility.
One service user who tried the chair during a physiotherapy session highlighted how it could make a real difference in the workplace, where accessibility can sometimes be a challenge.
To learn more or try the powerchair for yourself, please speak with your treating therapist.
Siobhan marks milestone
Please join the MD Support Centre team in congratulating physiotherapist Siobhan Crowton on completing five years with the charity. Siobhan joined in 2020, bringing a wealth of experience from the NHS and the private sector.
Since joining, she has spearheaded the charity’s work with student physiotherapists, forging connections with universities and providing opportunities for future physiotherapists to gain hands-on experience of working with people with muscular dystrophy.
Siobhan said:
“The last five years have flown by. During my time with the charity we’ve gone from dealing with COVID 19 and treating in our reception area at the college, to expanding to a new centre, growing our team and increasing our services. I’ve been a able to form lifelong bonds with not only staff but our wonderful service users. To be part of all of this has been a privilege, and I look forward to spending many more years being part of this amazing charity.”
