Active Design launches new postural seating course to support clinicians and therapists

Specialist postural seating and mobility solutions provider Active Design has announced the launch of its new postural seating course, designed to support healthcare professionals in advancing their knowledge and skills in postural care.
The course builds on Active Design’s reputation for delivering high-quality education in this field, having previously been known for its respected Chailey Approach to Postural Management training.
A free pilot session of the new one-day programme will run on 23 October at the Active Design headquarters in Birmingham.
Active Design plans to roll out additional sessions in 2026, with opportunities for occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and other healthcare professionals to attend.
Steve Doble, Business Development Manager at Active Design, said: “We’re delighted to bring postural management training back into our offering. For many years, clinicians have asked us when we would be running courses again, and we’re proud to finally say that the wait is over.
“This new programme is designed to give professionals the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills they need to better support people with complex seating and postural needs. The response to the pilot course has already been fantastic, and we look forward to opening future sessions to an even wider audience.”
The course will cover key topics including assessment, positioning, intervention strategies, and equipment solutions, supported by practical demonstrations using Active Design’s market-leading seating systems.
