OT Week 2026 feels extra special for us this year.

Participation Changes Everything is the theme and as a business that works alongside occupational therapists every single day, it’s a message we feel deeply.

The right chair in the right position can open up a world of participation for someone living with a complex condition. Better breathing. Better eating. Better connection with the people around them. It’s not just about comfort, it’s about being able to take part in life.

This OT Week we want to shine a light on the OTs who push for that every day - and in particular our own Clinical Panel members Sally Hastings, Dani Base and Katie Bartram, whose expertise and insight is helping us build better seating solutions for the people who need them most.

Here’s to every OT doing extraordinary work. This week and every week.

This week we’re celebrating OT Week 2026 - and the theme couldn’t be more fitting.

Participation Changes Everything.

It’s a phrase that sits right at the heart of everything we do at Channel Healthcare.

Because when someone has the right seating and postural support in place, participation becomes possible.

Eating independently.
Joining a conversation.
Making eye contact.
Taking part in everyday life.

These aren’t small things. They’re everything.

To every occupational therapist we’ve worked alongside, attended a Pizza and Posture session, or had a conversation with on a ward or in a care home - thank you. The work you do genuinely changes lives, and we’re proud to support you in doing it.

Happy OT Week 2026.

Living with Osteoporosis can make everyday movement, sitting and getting comfortable more difficult.

If your bones are more fragile, the right support can make a real difference to how comfortable and secure you feel.

Specialist seating can help provide additional postural support, improve stability and make sitting, repositioning and everyday movement more manageable.

And because everyone’s needs are different, the chair can be tailored around you, from the level of postural support required to your comfort and overall needs.

If you’re living with osteoporosis, or caring for someone who is, you can find out more about the specialist seating options available below:

Living with Motor Neurone Disease can bring changes to strength, mobility, posture and everyday independence.

As those needs change, having the right seating can help someone stay comfortable and supported for longer periods of the day.

Specialist seating can provide additional postural support, help with positioning and pressure care, and make everyday movement and transfers easier to manage.

Just as importantly, adaptable seating can be adjusted over time, helping it continue to support the individual as their needs evolve.

Living with the effects of a stroke can make everyday comfort, movement and positioning more difficult.

Changes in balance, muscle tone, strength and mobility can all affect how someone sits, particularly if one side of the body needs more support than the other.

Specialist seating can help provide greater stability and comfort, support a more secure sitting position and make everyday movement and transfers more manageable.

And because recovery can look different for everyone, we believe the right chair should be able to adapt as needs change over time.

When a family is supporting a loved one living with advanced Parkinson's and dementia, every decision matters. Finding the right chair isn't just about comfort - it's about safety, dignity and quality of life. And when it makes a difference like this, it means the world to us.

Improved posture, eating better, no longer at risk of falling from his chair. That's not just a seating solution. That's a life genuinely changed for the better.

A huge thank you to this family for taking the time to share their experience - and to Billy for looking after them every step of the way.

This is exactly why we do what we do.

If you're supporting a loved one who could benefit from a specialist seating assessment, we'd love to help. No pressure. Just honest, caring advice from a team that genuinely cares about getting it right.

Sometimes, small adjustments can make a big difference to our customers.

We recently revisited a customer who we’d previously supported with a Tri-Chair 3. After they’d found a particular head support worked really well with their wheelchair, we returned to add the same type of support to their Tri-3.

We made sure their seating continued to work around what was most comfortable and supportive for them.

It's the flexibility that is a fundamental part of what the Tri-Chair range is designed for. As people's needs change over time, the chair can be adapted too; helping provide ongoing comfort, support and reassurance for a range of needs.
