 T he Orbit 235 is a revolution and huge step forward in rotating beds. There is no other rotating bed like it! The Orbit 235 has been developed in collaboration with Occupational Therapists and end users, building on Theraposture’s understanding and experience gained as the true market-leading supplier of rotating beds for over 20 years. Everything that we have learnt and everything that we have been asked for has resulted in the Orbit 235. Why is the Orbit different? * One bed can be used for users from 4’10” to 6’6” with configurable platform lengths and seating dimensions to suit all shapes and sizes. * The Orbit 235 can be set up to meet each user’s personal needs * The result is a bed that can be adapted, configured, and personalised for each user. * For OTs this means that the bed can easily be reissued. * For private purchasers, you can try the Orbit 235 at the home assessment, during which it will be configured just for you. * The bed that we then deliver,...

Mike graduated from Reading University and served in the Police Force for seven years. In 1990, he was assaulted whilst on duty in Gosport resulting in major injuries to his lower spine.

He was forced to give up his position with the NHS and since then his condition has deteriorated. All associated with his original injury ...
