Should I Use a Wheelchair?
For many people, using a wheelchair can seem like a compromise. However, millions of people make use of a powered wheelchair day in, day out! There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. What’s more, a wheelchair is more than just a simple disability aid. It can really help to revolutionise your life and how you live it!
Here are five great reasons why a wheelchair could be a fantastic investment:
They’re Comfortable
A modern wheelchair – particularly powered wheelchair systems – are very comfy to use on a daily basis. You’ll be able to try out different models and seats before you buy them. However, at the same time, it’s safe to say that everyone’s comfort levels are likely to be a little different. That being said, you can rely on the fact that modern wheelchair systems are built with simple luxury and everyday comfort in mind!
They Promote Independence
One thing many people struggle with is adapting to the change of pace when disabled. However, a disability really doesn’t need to hold you back from leading a full life. Wheelchairs are easy to manage and control on your own! Manual wheelchair systems are easier to manoeuvre than ever, meaning that you can head out on your own without worrying about getting stuck. A powered wheelchair, meanwhile, will allow you to move around via motor.
They Keep You Safe
One of the main benefits of a wheelchair, of course, is that they can help to improve your mobility. Whether you use a chair temporarily or otherwise, its main aim is to keep you away from injury and harm. What’s more, moving around in a wheelchair will help to lessen pain. Therefore, it’s important to look for a system that’s going to fit your everyday comforts. Modern wheelchairs and disability aids are safer than ever before. You can rely on that!
You’ll Be More Sociable
A fantastic wheelchair will never hold you back from seeing friends and family. As they help to keep you mobile, you’ll still be able to get out and about, even if you are unable to walk. Therefore, you should never worry that a powered wheelchair, or otherwise, is ever going to hold you back. It’s not a crutch – nor is it a blockade to what you really want to do!
The World is More Access-Conscious Than Ever
Using a wheelchair no longer means that you are closed off to the world. Look around you! More public buildings are growing more inclusive as far as disabled access is concerned. Therefore, if you are worried about not being able to get in and out of places, you really needn’t be. The world is wising up to broadening its access to wheelchair users.

Due to my husband's condition we need a car with adaptions, we were advised by his paraplegic group to visit and this place is the best. Felt so relaxed talking about what we needed, all the staff were so friendly and so well informed, going above and beyond, especially Paul Berridge. I fully recommend this business. Honest and reliable. Thank you.
