Levitex rehab Range bridges Gap Between Hospital and home Recovery

The Levitex Rehab Range, a new line of products designed to support independent living for the elderly, has been launched by sleep posture brand Levitex. The range aims to provide accessible at-home recovery solutions, bridging the gap between hospital care and the comfort of one’s own home.

This new collection brings clinical-grade support tools directly to those who need them most,including lumbar cushions,pressure-relieving seat toppers,and spinal alignment aids. Each product is designed with ease of use in mind, ensuring maximum benefit for users.

Expert Development and Growing Need

The Rehab Range was developed by posture expert james Leinhardt, who recognized the increasing demand for better at-home recovery solutions due to the growing aging population. Leinhardt, with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with complex neurological conditions, believes that families and caregivers should have access to practical tools and techniques used in clinical rehabilitation environments.

Did You Know? The global elderly and disabled assistive devices market is projected to reach $37.4 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2021 (Verified Market Research).

Leinhardt emphasizes the critical role of the national Health Service (NHS) in supporting the elderly but notes the increasing pressure on these services due to demographic shifts. He advocates for proactive measures to support recovery at home, where it is increasingly needed.

“When older people have the right tools to sleep better, sit better, and move more freely, it lightens the load, not just for themselves, but for the whole system that’s trying to keep up with the UK’s increasingly aging population,” Leinhardt stated.

The Demographic Imperative

statistics from the Centre for Ageing Better highlight the urgency of addressing the needs of an aging population. In the last 40 years, the number of people aged 50 and over has increased by over 6.8 million, a 47 percent increase. The number of people aged 65 and over has increased by over 3.5 million, a 52 percent increase.

Currently, over 10 million people are aged 65 and over, representing 18 percent of the population. Projections indicate that the number of people aged 65-79 will increase by nearly a third in the next 40 years, reaching over 10 million. The population segment aged 80 and over is expected to more than double to over six million, marking it as the fastest-growing segment.

pro Tip: Consider consulting with a physical therapist or occupational therapist to determine the most appropriate posture support products for individual needs.

addressing Basic Needs and Dignity

Leinhardt also pointed out the issue of poor-quality mattresses in both hospital and home settings, wich can restrict movement and increase joint tension, hindering recovery. He likened sleeping on such mattresses to “sleeping in a bowl of porridge.”

Age UK reports that two million older people in England have unmet social care needs, with 600,000 individuals aged 65 and over struggling to get in and out of bed. This highlights the critical need for basic mobility and dignity among the elderly.

“These aren’t luxury problems,” Leinhardt continued. “This is basic mobility, basic dignity. The right posture support can be the difference between someone needing round-the-clock help, or being able to move, rest, and recover on their own terms.”

Accessibility for All

The Levitex Rehab Range aims to democratize access to rehabilitation tools, making them available not only to elite athletes and those recovering from severe injuries but also to anyone in need, such as individuals recovering from hip operations. By providing these tools, Levitex hopes to empower individuals to manage their recovery and maintain their independence.
