Discussing the updated edition, Martina commented “It’s my goal to change the world through healthcare seating. The new edition of The Clinician’s Seating Handbook allows my fellow clinicians to refine their skills and use the most up to date clinical practices to do just that.”

Typically costing £24 on Amazon, the company is offering the textbook for free to therapists and clinicians, noting that its goal is to share best practice in the industry.
