A reflection on this inflection point. Embracing a new new normal!   

Change is inevitable. Most humans don't welcome change with open arms as, in many circumstances, big change is not a choice and is thrust upon us. 
I feel that leadership expert Robin Sharma says it best when he says that " Change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end." I have used this mantra with a number of the athletes that I coach and coaches that I mentor and it really has helped them to

 understand that this too shall pass. No, it will not be easy. No, it will not be comfortable. And no, we will not be the same in the end. We will be better, we will get through this together. 

Many of our manufacturer's are embracing this opportunity to be creative and to iterate their processes particularly in how they are delivering product information to the people they serve. You. 

A shining example of this is our favorite safety bed line, Beds By George  we take a look at how they are offering live web-based In-services via the Amazon Chime app & online. Many of our other lines offer a great selection of videos via their websites to help you self educate and train on your own time.

Take a look at the TVH Resources page and bookmark it. Here you will find all of the pertinent documents that you require. 

Below, as always, you'll find a wide variety of product links, resources  and information updates from the great lines that TVH represents.

Ride Designs - Revelations!   
 
Just when you thought it couldn't get better...
 Ride brings forth a revelation from the field. Our new favorite softer interface Ride custom cushion is getting an assist, some could call it a wing-man or best bud or partner in crime.  Who is this big supporter? None other than the Java Cushion. 

You can use the Java base as an evaluator cushion!  In typical Ride fashion all you need to do is to follow the simple 8 step process outlined in the AccuSoft order form. 

The updated AccuSoft/RCB order form is now accessible on the RideWorks app. Instructions for using the Java Cushion as an evaluator tool are on page 5 of the order form,  here   .
 
Keep in mind:
  • The Custom AccuSoft Cushion is not changing. We are just introducing another method to capture a shape.
  • This method is appropriate to utilize when the client presents with symmetry, or asymmetry, that responds easily to correction.
  • The use of a Java Cushion as an evaluation and measurement tool is only offered for the Custom AccuSoft Cushion. Shapes for the Custom 2 Cushion must be captured using the bead bag and vacuum pump method.
  • The AccuSoft Cushion is NOT an offloading cushion.
  • An AccuSoft Cushion fabricated from the Java Cushion capture method is based on a Java Cushion model with one reticulated foam well-insert in the IT-well (the small / bottom well-insert). This model, with a slight pelvic contour, will be considered full contact on the order form and is also available with our patented Ride Contour.
  • Using the Java Cushion model, we will digitally configure and modify the shape per the order form specifications. This will include any CAM or orientation wedges used during the shape capture as well as any medial and lateral thigh supports requested on the order form.
  • The modified shape will be manufactured per our normal Accusoft manufacturing process.
  • Photos are needed when this method is utilized. Submit the photo and order form through RideWorks.
 
Your TVH team is excited for this opportunity and doing our bit to help spread the word about this new evaluation and measurement method for the Custom AccuSoft Cushion.

Bodypoint
Bodypoint -  Extend that Evoflex with confidence 
 
Bodypoint seems to be Flexing it's creative muscle. 
The new Evoflex extender can add up to 5" of length. You may wonder what the difference is in this Belt Extender option? This is made of 4mm thick durable plastic that can be bent with boiling water to meet the contour you require or cut to the desired length. 

A smart locking pin adds a second connection point with the belt minimizing a chance of pivot. Using the reverse side that does not have the locking pin can allow for a controlled pivot to get around obstacles. 

Use the Belt Extender with any size of Evoflex. Check it out on the BP website!

  




Did you know that Bodypoint is the only belt, strap and positioning device focused company in the industry that adheres to ISO Standards?
This is reinforced within their Product  Quality Policy

Thomashilfen
Thomashilfen - A history in mattresses? 

So, we know Thomashilfen as an amazing car seat and stroller company.   

BUT, did you know that they have over six decades of history in the mattress industry? 
Just not in North America. Thomashilfen has been learning about bed's since Karl Thomas designed a bed for his wife who had MS and faced challenges in getting  a good nights sleep In 1955 he actually invented the "slatted frame" and first spring support bed in the world. 


Here's a brief description about the philosophy behind Micro-Stiumulation (MiS) technology utilized in Thomashilfen beds. 

"If your body moves constantly throughout the night, so should your bed! MiS helps individuals achieve a healthy and restorative full night of sleep. MiS activates the neurons in the brainstem, connecting mind and body to effortlessly begin the five s tages of sleep. For every movement made while sleeping (even a breath), MiS reacts with micro-sized counter movements, keeping the body constantly balanced throughout the night. MiS is clinically proven to improve blood flow and circulation, improve spinal alignment and posture, and heighten body perception and mobility."

See how Micro-Stimulation Works! 
Thevo Mobility Bed
Thevo Mobility Bed

 
Thomashilfen has sponsored Para Athlete and 5x World Championship Medalist, Jaleen Roberts w ith a Thevo Relief Bed and it has changed her life. This athlete with Cerebral Palsy had extreme low back pain, enough to stop her from being able to run and train for long jump. With the ThevoRelief Bed, Jaleen has not missed another workout because of back pain! It's awesome. 

If you need another testimonial just chat with David Greig at TVH mobility. "I have purchased one too and it's the best sleep I've ever had! Travelling constantly, coaching all around the world, I've been exposed to a lot of beds. The ThevoRelief bed from Thomashilfen helps my low back and ensures that I have a sound sleep. When I'm home, I start each day rested and ready to be productive."

ProBed -Promoting lung health! 

The automated turning process of the Freedom Bed from ProBed creates a climate for fluid movement within the lungs for users who have compromised breathing and limited mobility. 

Quality of sleep promotes a healing environment. ProBed users see a vast improvement in not only sleep quality, but also blood flow and respiration. Coupled with elevation of the head and feet, the bed gives both user and caregiver a sense of confidence that it is working for their health and well-being. Couple this with the ability for voice activation and the user really gets a sense of control over the space in which they may spend a significant of time.
