The importance of the correct wheelchair and seating
A wheelchair should promote independence whilst giving you the excellent standard of care.
Many think that disability means that they stop doing the things that they love. What ever the activity or lifestyle there is a wheelchair to suit your needs. At Emerald we believe that standards of care are vital. Everyone should have the wheelchair that they need with the correct seating providing support and comfort.
Unfortunately there are many who are seated incorrectly. With poor worn out cushions and missing legrests, unsuitable wheelchairs. Many do not realise that this will cause many problems with their health. Causing pressure sores, which left untreated and poorly seated, have devastating affects. Whilst i do not want to give you horror stories, it is important that you are correctly seated in wheelchair that suits your needs. Without the correct chair this will have a detrimental effect on your health.
At Emerald we assess our customers to ensure that they have the seating and wheelchair that they need. Most of our chairs are adjustable and can be adapted to your needs. Our chairs can also be customized to your personality. So whatever your colour or may be you would like transfers on your chair, we can help you.
Wheelchairs are there to ensure that you continue your independence and comfort. Go for the stroll along the beach, a day out with your friends and family. Go shopping, work, or simply hang out at your local club/cafe. Many people who we meet comment on the things they can no longer do, due to their health and moblity restrictions. A wheelchair can change your life for the better. Our customers agree.

About me
I set up Emerald Mobility in October 2009. Having previously worked for a wheelchair company, i like many others found myself without a job. I am fully trained and undertake regular training. I also attend Muscular Dystrophy Conferences.
I believe that everyone should have the equipment and wheelchairs that they need what every their age. Having personal disability within my family, i understand the stress and pain that disability can bring. Why should we have to fight to give our loved ones the life that they need and deserve. Thats why i offer charity funding as an option aswell as NHS/private.
Even today we are faced within our country postcode lottery. You will very often find me fundraising or campaigning for disability rights and services. I am one person doing my best to help others. I do NOT charge for assessments or my services. My profits are made from the equipment purchased the same as any other retailer.
If i can give someone independence and a prolonged quality of life, that makes my day and that is why i set up Emerald.
