Task Seating

You can work more efficiently and improve concentration with the right functional, task seating

Good posture seating places the body in a balanced position which ensures that we can work efficiently and carry out tasks to the best of our ability.

This also opens up the chest and abdomen, which improves breathing and internal organ function, allowing greater intake of oxygen, resulting in more energy and general well-being.

The functional chair from VELA shown here is the result of many years experience developing seating products to support the independence of individuals with a range of different physical conditions and disabilities.

Chest support

The chair on the left offers a range of adjustments to suit the individual, and crucially, provides chest support, rather than the traditional back support. Many carers find this type of chair useful for and assisting with feeding. People doing jobs that require long periods leaning forwards can also benefit from postural support like this.

Height and angle adjustable tables

For children with problems around concentration, focus and capacity to learn, correct positioning will give them the stability they need to perform an activity more efficiently, allowing them to concentrate on the task at hand.

A desk or table that can be adjusted in height and angle will help ensure that the best working position is achieved, for both adults and children.
