We’re making our mission a movement

Posture management is an integral part of the standard of care for persons who use wheelchairs in Europe. We’re bringing all the benefits this transformative, life-saving practice offers to the United States and North America through education and outreach to occupational and physical therapists, other medical professionals and of course - users and those who care about them!

What is 24-hour posture care management?

  • What is it?

    24 hour posture care management is a gentle, non-invasive way to protect body shape and quality of life.

  • Who is it for?

    Wheelchair users are at risk for contractures and misalignment when they have a limited movement repertoire.

  • Why does it matter?

    Lying posture is your foundation. Better posture can improve sleep, reduce pain, and protect body shape.

Our Mission in Action

Hi, I’m Tamara Kittelson

I’m the founder and Executive Director of Posture 24/7. As an Occupational Therapist, I created this organization having learned the power of posture care management in my practice, and gained more training in the UK in 2012. Motivated by the potential impact of this approach for wheelchair users, I knew that my mission was to bring this understanding home to the United States and North America.

Tom Hetzel, Physical Therapist & CEO of Ride Designs

“Tamara Kittelson exemplifies the rare combination of clinical and teaching skill. I have had the honor to work with and collaborate on numerous projects over the last 20 years from hands-on application of custom seating interventions and 24-7 postural care programs, to assisting in and supporting her education programs on postural care.

“Her passion and commitment to the field of postural care is unmatched and contagious. Her dedicated efforts have made a measurable difference internationally. I look forward to many more opportunities to assist and support her efforts to bring postural care programs to people with disabilities and their families/care providers. The outcomes speak for themselves!”

It all starts here.
