CUSTOM WHEELCHAIR SEATING & MOBILITY SERVICES

At Neurability Therapy, we understand the importance of proper wheelchair seating and positioning for individuals with mobility impairments or postural support needs. Our experienced therapists specialize in conducting comprehensive seating evaluations to determine the most appropriate wheelchair system and positioning components for each patient’s unique needs.
