Client is returning to work after a very serious car accident.
Medical Details
Broken Pelvis 9 fractures. Right Femur (Pin in place in Rf)
also plating round pelvis and fusion of coccyx
Movement around pelvis and coccyx is restricted.
Leg lengths are different causing problems around pelvic floor and mis-alignment in lower lumbar.
Pelvis is out on the right.
I asked the client about insoles to help compensate and the Physio is looking into this.
Clients’s ribs were very bruised and her neck hurt with movement. She sustained whiplash injuries but as she had to lie still for 3 months the problems with her neck rectified themselves. However her neck muscles may now be quite weak.

As Client is quite short in the leg. She needs a footrest support. It is important that they has good spinal support. As she is really very skinny and short in the leg, i suggest we try her with a Corrigo Slim Fit which is about the smallest support chair I can find. With the arms set well back Price £299.00 + VAT
