What is 24-Hour Posture & Activity Management?

A planned, holistic programme to protect and improve body shape across the full 24 hours by addressing every posture - sitting, standing, walking, and lying - through day and night. It focuses on early intervention to promote symmetrical, functional positions, combining targeted supports for sitting, standing/walking, and lying with purposeful activities in varied positions to strengthen alignment and maintain comfort, function, and participation.

Why it matters.

Without 24-hour postural support, people with limited movement abilities are at risk of negative body shape changes caused by the constant pull of gravity, muscle weakness, and inactivity.

Over time, this can lead to skeletal deformities such as pelvic obliquity or rotation, rib cage distortion, kyphosis, scoliosis, lordosis, or hip dislocation.

These changes may result in pain, increased pressure risk, fatigue, and reduced independence and function - all of which can greatly affect comfort, health, and quality of life.
