Occupational therapy chairs are chairs designed specifically for certain individuals. They might be recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions, or requiring assistance with daily tasks. The Care Team offers a range of specialised seating which is recommended by occupational therapists for support in such circumstances.
You may need an occupational therapy chair if you need extra support, sit in the chair for long periods or find it difficult to sit down or get up from a chair. Our chairs fall into 3 main categories – high seat chairs, riser recliner chairs and posture control chairs.
We recommend a seating assessment be carried out when assessing chair suitability. Once identified which chair may be appropriate it is recommended that it is hired to ensure suitability before being purchased.

Occupational Therapy Chairs/OT Chairs – High seat chairs
High seat chairs offer a greater level of support than regular arm chairs. They are easier to get in or out of. As such they are popular with those with arthritis and stiff joints. They tend to have a wooden frame and are similar to those found on hospital wards.
Occupational Therapy Chairs – Riser Recline Chairs
Due to the motor in a riser recliner chair the rising action helps you to sit down and stand up with very little effort whilst the reclining action can make you more comfortable and may help with some medical problems.
As with the high seat chairs, the riser recliner chair can be fitted with a pressure relief cushion or have the facility to incorporate your own pressure relief cushion.
Posture Control Chairs
Posture control chairs offer clients a great deal of physical support. These chairs are hoist compatible. Posture Control Chairs have pressure relief incorporated and tend to be on a mobility base so they can be moved from room to room.
Nursing Chairs & Bespoke Chairs
Nursing chairs are useful for those with more specific medical needs. Our experienced Occupational Therapists have expertise in adapting and modifying chairs for our client’s specific medical needs. So if you need a more bespoke chair, suited to your needs, chat with one of our team.
