The Benefits of Standing

There are many well-documented health benefits of standing, including:

• improved circulation,
• reduced skin breakdown,
• improved respiratory capacity,
• reduced urinary tract infections (UTIs),
• stronger bones,
• reduced spasticity,
• reduced back and neck pain,
• and stronger muscles, tendons, hamstrings.

But the benefits run deeper than that. There are also quality of life improvements such as:

• increased independence,
• increased self-esteem,
• increased social-interaction,
• and greater opportunities for employment.

Because it saves them money in the long run, insurance companies are often happy to help fund a standing wheelchair. Contact us if you’d like to learn more about getting a standing wheelchair.
