Balancing life with TB4

It’s widely known that manoeuvring a power chair can make some daily tasks easier, but for some tasks have we really helped at all?

For countless individuals worldwide, mornings follow a familiar routine. They rise from bed, perhaps make their way to the bathroom, brush their teeth, and comb their hair, all leading up to the essential act of boiling the kettle.

Each of these activities marks the beginning of someone’s day, yet one of these tasks might prove more challenging than it ought to be.

Deeply rooted in British tradition lies the cherished ritual of enjoying a cup of tea, affectionately referred to as a cuppa, brew, sticking the kettle on, hot bev, or just tea. Accompanied by the age-old debate of which tea bags yield the finest brew, these terms all share a commonality: the essential act of boiling the kettle.

For some powerchair users, this in itself can be a hard task, defiantly harder than we at Quantum Rehab feel it should be.

Every day in the UK, an astonishing 100 million cups of tea are consumed on average, putting a significant demand on kettles nationwide.

But you might wonder, what does this have to do with us at Quantum Rehab? Well, all our powerchairs and products share a common objective: to improve and enrich the quality of life, regardless of one’s reliance on a powerchair.
