Physical therapy and rehabilitation play a crucial role in enhancing the lives of individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or managing chronic conditions. Occupational therapists and healthcare professionals often seek innovative and effective solutions to support their patient's recovery journey. In this blog, we'll explore how Tenura's range of anti-slip and grip products can be valuable tools for physical therapists and their patients, promoting safety, mobility, and independence during rehabilitation.

Tenura Grip Rolls

Secure Support for Therapeutic Exercises Tenura's grip rolls offer a versatile solution for physical therapists. These non-slip rolls can be cut to custom lengths and used to stabilise exercise equipment, therapy mats, and seating surfaces. By providing a secure grip, grip rolls enable patients to focus on their therapeutic exercises without worrying about slips or instability. Whether used under yoga mats during balance exercises or beneath resistance bands for strength training, grip rolls offer reliable support for targeted workouts.

Non-Slip Floor Mats

Fall Prevention and Gait Training For patients working on gait training or mobility exercises, non-slip floor mats are essential. Tenura's anti-slip floor mats provide a stable surface reducing the risk of falls during therapy sessions. These mats are particularly beneficial for individuals relearning how to walk or transitioning from a wheelchair to walking. Occupational therapists can incorporate these mats into exercises that challenge balance and coordination, fostering greater confidence in patients' mobility.

Tenura Jar & Bottle Openers

Regaining Independence in Daily Living Occupational therapists often work with patients to improve their activities of daily living (ADLs). Tenura jar and bottle openers can be valuable tools in this process, aiding patients with weak grip strength or limited hand mobility. These openers provide a firm grip on lids and caps, making it easier for patients to open containers and bottles independently. Empowering patients to perform everyday tasks can boost their self-esteem and enhance their overall well-being.

Non-Slip Bath & Shower Stickers

Promoting Safety and Confidence Safety is a top priority during rehabilitation, especially in the bathroom. Tenura's non-slip bath and shower stickers offer a practical solution for preventing slips in wet and slippery environments. Occupational therapists can recommend these stickers to patients, allowing them to shower and bathe with increased confidence. Enhanced bathroom safety can alleviate anxiety and encourage patients to maintain their personal hygiene routines without fear of accidents.

Tenura Grip Strips for Mobility Aids

Secure and Steady Support Many patients rely on mobility aids such as canes, walkers, and wheelchairs during their recovery process. Tenura grip strips can be applied to these aids to enhance grip and stability. The non-slip surface helps prevent the mobility aid from slipping on smooth or uneven surfaces, enabling patients to move around more confidently. For individuals transitioning from using assistive devices to walking independently, these grip strips can facilitate a smoother journey towards increased mobility.

Tenura's range of anti-slip products offers valuable support to occupational therapists and their patients during physical therapy and rehabilitation. From grip rolls for therapeutic exercises to non-slip floor mats for fall prevention, Tenura equips therapists with versatile tools to enhance patient safety and independence. By incorporating Tenura products into rehabilitation programs, therapists can create a secure and empowering environment that fosters patients' recovery and mobility.

If you're an occupational therapist or healthcare professional, consider adding Tenura products to your toolkit to provide comprehensive support and care for your patients. Together, we can promote safer and more successful rehabilitation journeys, improving the lives of those on the path to recovery.

If you want to improve your mobility when in a vehicle, we have outlined some helpful Tenura products that be of great help. Things such as getting in and out of the car can be a pain so let's see if we can help with this issue.

Help Getting In and Out of a Car

Placing a Tenura non-slip floor mat in the footwell and, if required, one just outside of the door, on the floor, can help you get the foothold you need to exit the car safely. Tenura floor mats are anti-slip and reduce the risk of slips and falls.

Improve Car Seat Comfort

Use Tenura non-slip fabric under your car chair cushion so that it doesn't slip whilst you are on the move. If the cushion moves out of place, it could cause further discomfort for the passenger.

Stop Loose Objects Sliding When You're on the Move

Things such as your medication, phone or a drink can slide around the car if you haven't secured them. They can distract the driver, so you should place your loose articles on a Tenura Extreme mat, which means you will have a visual aid, helping you remember where you put your belongings and improving the safety of the journey for all.

Get a Better Grip On Your Seatbelt

By wrapping Tenura silicone grip roll around your seatbelt, you can ensure a better grip. The silicone is grip-enhancing and soft, and it will allow you to grasp the seatbelt better. You can even build up the silicone to make the seatbelt wider and more comfortable to hold.

Line Your Boot to Prevent

The stuff you store in your boot often isn't secured and therefore will move about whilst you travel. This movement can affect the car's motion; however, lining your car boot with Tenura anti-slip fabric can prevent this. Tenura anti-slip fabric will keep your belongings in place, making them easier to remove from the car when you've arrived.

Improve Grip on Car Door Handles

On the inside of the car door, you can wrap Tenura grip strips around the handles to add the soft silicone that's grip-enhancing. This will improve your grip on the handle and make it easier for you to exit the car safely.
