Brittney Neunzig aka Empowered Para ( https://www.youtube.com/@EmpoweredPara ) -and all around legend, has an amazing event and give away!

From Brittney:

If you spend 12+ hours sitting in a wheelchair each day, then what you’re sitting on better matter to you!

A wheelchair cushion isn’t just a thing to keep you comfortable. It’s got a job to do and that job is important. It’s your cushion’s job to redistribute pressure, regulate temperature and moisture, and correct your posture. Without a quality cushion you increase your risk of a pressure injury and every year more than 25 000 people die from these preventable wounds.

Choosing a cushion can be overwhelming, especially since there are hundreds of options on the market. But luckily choosing a cushion doesn’t have to be done alone. Occupational therapists specializing in wheelchair seating are equipped with the knowledge and expertise to help narrow down the search for a cushion. However, finding an OT in your area that has this specialized knowledge can sometimes be a challenge.

That’s why she’s teamed up with Blake Medical, a cushion manufacturer, and Markie Ryckman, a wheelchair seating OT, to bring you a YouTube Live all about how to choose a wheelchair cushion. The live show will be an hour long followed by a Q&A session. Blake Medical is also sponsoring a giveaway so this is your chance to get a cushion totally free!
