One evening a husband, thinking he was funny, said to his wife "Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in Slim Fast. May be it would take a few inches off your butt!".
His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply could not let such a comment go unrewarded. The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. "What the Hell is this??" he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud appeared when he shook them out. "Susan", he hollered into the bathroom, "Why did you put talcum powder in my underwear?"
She replied with a snicker ... "It's not talcum powder, my love - it's MiracleGrow!"

Shouldering the pain
We are often contacted to give advice about individuals care regarding which clothing options would best suit them and help them dress with ease.
Our research and background gives us insight into the impact conditions have on the body and associated impairments to movement. Despite everyone being unique and individual, the struggles people have with dressing are much the same and very common!
A decrease in shoulder movement is one of the most common among people. The ability to move the arm in a forward motion is commonly still there, but to rotate the arm up, to the side or to the back becomes increasingly difficult and can be very painful!
The advantages of our adaptive vests are that they open at the shoulders and down the front providing
options to more easily (and painlessly) put the garment on yourself or others.
Dressing can actually be much easier and pain free!
