Continuing my methodical approach to most things in life, I am now going to set out the scope of products and services that I intend to write about and discuss in this blog.
As previously stated, anything that has a health or mobility application, benefit, or advantage will be included, as will devices that solve a health problems or that get around mobility obstacles.
This means that the obvious examples of mobility equipment will be covered and these will include: stair lifts, wheelchairs and mobility scooters.
I.e. Items that enable mobility (getting around) in the most obvious way.
But I will also look more widely at mobility issues and ways around them and this will take in products and equipment like: lift and tilt chairs, massage chairs, adjustable beds, orthopedic beds, easy access mobility walk-in baths, and easy access showers.
I.e. Items that assist mobility for a specific purpose, function or activity.
I will also look at some of the more recent innovations in solving problems caused by some form of physical limitation or restriction and this will extend to electronic hearing aids and devices designed to eliminate or remove pain, e.g. magnetic pain therapy.
I.e. Products that may indirectly help health or mobility by removing a non physical obstacle that restricts or prevents normal activity.
In addition to these “products”, I will be looking at alternative therapy treatments
that will include the almost “medically” legitimate practices of acupuncture, chiropractic and the like, to some of the more obscure, or less proven techniques, which will include hypnotherapy and aromatherapy.
I.e. Treatments and off the shelf medications that “may” play a role in helping health or mobility.
These are fairly broad categories, but anything that does not naturally fall into one, but which does have some value, will be included and this will run to items like support braces, support cushions and even “old wife’s” tails if there appears to be some validity in them.
I.e. Giving me carte blanch to include anything else that I want to write about.
Whether or not I will look at something like hay fever – and how to remedy it, I have yet to decide, but I will mention illnesses like shingles where I can offer suggestions based (unfortunately) upon first hand experience.
