Why we know this works

We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we know the very first move of the day, getting someone from lying flat to sitting on the edge of the bed, is where many caregiver back injuries happen. How do you sit someone up in bed without hurting your back? By using simple leverage and positioning instead of brute strength, and this 15 minute training shows you the exact steps so the move becomes simple and easy for both of you.

It is especially important for caregivers helping someone who spends much of the day in bed, whether from a stroke, a long illness, or general weakness. If your loved one cannot help at all and needs to be repositioned in bed often, start with the Video Training: How to Use a Draw Sheet to Move Someone in Bed.
