About Us
Our small, friendly and specialist team works across Southern England and the Midlands, and is dedicated to helping people with complex physical disabilities embed 24-hour postural care into their daily lives.
As independent specialists in 24-hour postural care, we connect individuals, support teams and equipment providers through a proactive, collaborative approach. By giving teams expert training and using body symmetry measurements to monitor progress, we protect body shape and promote comfort, creating healthier futures for people with complex disabilities.
Our goal
Our goal is to help people win the fight against gravity, so that they are comfortable and supported enough to do the things that matter to them, both now and in the future.
Our history
Posture Partnership was founded in 2018 by Jane Pratley. It was born out of a drive to provide a specialist service that addresses every aspect of 24-hour postural care.
Jane believes that postural care should be the bedrock of daily life for people with complex disabilities, and that it needs a specialist focus rather than being split between different professional groups. Her vision was to bring together assessment, body symmetry measurement and expert training, so that postural care is embedded into daily life, based on a clear plan and a solid clinical foundation. Collaborative working is at the heart of Posture Partnership. We have built strong relationships with the people we support long term, and with their wider support networks and therapy teams.
Beyond her clinical knowledge, Jane is always a pleasure to work with, approachable, adaptable, and genuinely committed to meeting our son’s individual needs. Her dynamic approach and ongoing support have made a lasting difference to our son’s quality of life, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has done and continues to do in the future.AH, Family member More client stories
