For many years, 24-hour postural management has been at the heart of children’s therapy programmes, ensuring that every position a child adopts throughout the day, and night supports healthy alignment, comfort, and function. While this approach remains essential, as a therapy community we are now expanding our focus to reflect new evidence and national guidance - so why the shift?

By the time many children reach the age of two years old, they may already have five or six pieces of bulky, supportive equipment - each one essential for their comfort, development, and participation in family life.
To make this easier, we’ve developed the Posture and Activity Management (PAM) Wheel — a practical, visual, and easy-to-use tool to help families and therapy teams manage a child’s postural and activity equipment.

Understanding how much weight a child truly bears in a standing frame is key to making informed clinical decisions. Whether the goal is bone health, joint alignment, or postural control, the angle of the standing frame makes a measurable difference - but perhaps not in the way many assume.
This blog reviews the physics behind weight bearing in standing frames, explains how gravity and angle interact and highlights what this means for safe effective standing therapy.

As a new clinician, I remember being quite shocked when I encountered groin harnesses being used to keep children upright in their seats. The approach felt undignified and uncomfortable.

My perspective has since shifted and I now believe groin harnesses are not the right solution for preventing forward sliding and should be phased out in favour of more effective strategies.
