Start Up

Welcome to my new start up blog. You probably have stumbled upon my blog because you were searching for information on medical equipment or services for the disabled and elderly populations. I decided to start my web site http://www.thesupportyouneed.com/ because I have a strong interest in helping disabled individuals of all ages and their caregivers. My experience includes practicing as a physical therapist since 1994 and assisting individuals get appropriate medical equipment to keep them independent. Most of my experience has been in working with disabled children and adults. As a physical therapist, I felt strongly that the most important way I helped my patients was by providing them with the best medical equipment. I also have furthered my experience and have attained certification as an assistive technology practitioner. I have had many opportunities to work with the adaptive equipment and have devoted the web site to discussing adaptive equipment and issues that impact that population. Please visit this blog regularly and feel free to email me any questions you have. I cannot prescribe any equipment. I will give you suggestions that you can discuss with your physician.
