Physio chairs that make a difference
Central Lakes Physio improved their patient seating, helping those with injuries as well as enhancing the working environment for clinicians.
Central Lakes Physio is a small, dynamic, and experienced clinic based in Wānaka New Zealand, offering a variety of treatment options tailored to different injuries and conditions. Their services include Joint Mobilisation, Acupuncture, Massage, Motor Control Retraining, Trigger Point Needling, Vocational Rehabilitation, Post-Operation Physio, Hand Therapy, Sports Manipulation, Pilates, Pelvic Floor Physio, Home Exercise Programmes, and Breathing Retraining.
Central Lakes Physio upgraded their seating with a range of Buro chairs, including the Buro Lindis 4 Leg with Arms in PU (reflective silver frame), two Konfurb Hady chairs, Bambach saddle seat stools (one with a back), and a Buro Polo Drafting Stool.
The seating improved patient comfort and support, especially for those with back, knee, and neck injuries, and enhanced the working environment for clinicians who are constantly on the move.
Enhanced patient experience
“The Konfurb Hady guest chairs enhance the waiting experience for our patients by having a heightened seat for those that find it hard to get up and down. Individuals with back, knee, and neck injuries are especially grateful. They are a well-cushioned chair that provides both comfort and support for our clients while they wait. They are also visually pleasing on the eye in a small space.” – Steph Lowen, Office Manager.
Clinician support
“The Bambach saddle seat stools are a brilliant addition to our clinic. They are lightweight, comfortable, and ergonomic. They support our Physios by having a back that has height, and angle adjustments along with the seat being a swivel for ease of movement around patients while providing care.” – Steph Lowen, Office Manager.
Overall impact on the clinic
“The new seating has seen pilates clients get changed easier and much quicker (socks and shoes on) as the height of the chair is more accessible. As well as the chairs being higher and more accessible for injured clients, the upstairs waiting room looks much lighter and brighter. This makes a huge difference!”
“Having comfortable and supportive furniture in our clinic creates an environment that is welcoming to injured and unwell patients in a time that can be very difficult. Our clinicians are always moving whether that be up and down or around their rooms, having a supportive desk chair and a stool that is comfortable to use around the bed is amazing. The environment is safe, comfortable, and makes our daily running of the clinic a better place to work and visit.” – Steph Lowen, Office Manager.
The introduction of Buro’s seating solutions, particularly the physio chairs, has significantly improved both patient and clinician experiences at Central Lakes Physio. The thoughtful design and ergonomic features of the chairs have provided the necessary support and comfort, creating a more welcoming and efficient environment.
