"My whole life is about being independent."

Jamie is an occupational therapist, a retired wheelchair basketball player of 40 years, and one of a team of wheelchair users who hold the world record for pulling a Boeing 737 one hundred metres – at Heathrow, in 2019. He'd also rather be outdoors than anywhere else.

In this video he shares what changed when he swapped a saggy canvas back support for a Zygo Active Mid Back Support: better posture, more comfort, and a lot less fiddling.

"It's nice to be out and enjoy life."

Day 2 of REHACARE and the Spex stand was buzzing – so we took the opportunity to ask another big question… 🎤

How has Spex made an impact?

The answers were personal, practical and powerful – from supporting better clinical outcomes to giving people greater comfort, confidence and possibility in everyday life.

For us, that’s what better seating is really about: not just how it works, but what it makes possible.

A huge thank you to everyone who shared their perspective with us. ❤️

One mic. One question. What do you love about Spex? 🎤

Here's what the people who use, prescribe and champion our seating had to say at REHACARE 2026. Their answers remind us why we do what we do.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to share a moment with us. ❤️

We're here until tomorrow, so come and see us at Hall 4, Stand B15.

This is what hands-on learning looks like. 👇

A room full of OTs, PTs and ATPs.
Assessments being worked through.
Postures being analysed.
Ideas being tested.
Support strategies being built.
Plenty of “what happens if we try this?”

Silicon Valley, you brought the energy!

Our first Spex USA Academy: Assess – Simulate – Support took the group through the full seating and positioning process, from assessment and biomechanics to hands-on simulation, clinical reasoning and applying postural supports.

Missed Silicon Valley?
We’ve still got three more Spex USA Academy sessions coming up.

👉 Find your nearest session and secure your place - link in bio.

This is not a sit-back-and-listen kind of day... think MAT assessments, small-group problem solving, simulation vests, case examples and plenty of discussion along the way.

A huge thank you to Jean Minkel for sharing her clinical expertise, Dani Parmenter for leading the day alongside her, and everyone who came ready to ask questions, share ideas and get stuck in.

What a start to the series. 🙌

"I'm taking a lot more, bigger breaths… that allows me much more energy and less fatigue."

Jamie, an OT, retired wheelchair basketball player, and someone who'd rather be outdoors than anywhere else, swapped a saggy canvas back support for a Zygo Active Mid Back Support scripted to his own measurements – after years of seating that never quite worked.

Better posture. Easier breathing. Less fatigue. And two little tabs that lift it off one-handed.

Shoutout to Dan, his Spex rep, for getting the fit just right 🙌

Only two Spex UK Academy sessions remain for 2026, and the next one is almost here! ⌛

📍 Northeast | 17 September Simple to Complex Solutions

Places are filling fast, so if the Northeast Academy is on your radar, now is the time to secure your place.

So far this year, Spex UK Academy has brought therapists and ATPs together across England and Wales for practical, hands-on learning focused on real seating and positioning challenges.

From exploring clinical reasoning to working through different seating approaches, each session is built around the challenges clinicians face in practice and the decisions that can make a real difference to outcomes.

And then there is one final Academy still to come:

📍 Midlands | 11 November Translating Assessment into Seating Solutions

👉 Register now for the Northeast Academy on 17 September - link in bio.

Two days of learning, connection and collaboration at Expo Ortopédica and the Latin American Seating Symposium (LASS) in Argentina. 🎉

It was fantastic to see therapists and professionals come together from across Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Colombia and the wider Latin American region to share knowledge, exchange ideas and connect around seating and positioning.

We were especially pleased to have Steve Ashton, Spex UK Clinical Excellence & Education Manager, joining the LASS speaker programme, presenting “Translating Assessment Findings to Solutions”, and to introduce the new Wonderseat SuperHigh Contour Cushion during a practical workshop.

Spex was also proud to support the event once again by sponsoring the coffee break, with a YETI giveaway adding a little extra fun across the two days. ☕

A great opportunity to bring the Spex community together, learn from one another, and continue strengthening connections across Latin America.
