PhilAsh Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 In physical work, just like exercising at the gym or outdoors, there is always the inherent risk of injury, knocks, aches and strains, particularly where heavy lifting, twisting and reaching are every-day activities on your boat or waterwaysAt Mobility Smart, we are regularly contacted for help and products by the boating community, to help both prevention of these injuries and help in recovery and fastest return to health.Mobility isn't just about wheelchairs and scooters for the elderly and disabled.We help boaters, professional emergency services staff and athletes in their health and welbeing, with everything from knee, back and shoulder supports, to support pillows and kinesiology tapes.Take a look at our website at www.mobilitysmart.co.uk and message if you need any help or advice.CheersPhil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie patrick Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 I've seen this and decided to allow it as the post seems genuinely helpful even though it also basically advertising - however I'm willing to review that decision if board members disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Borderline, yes, but this is the season of goodwill* so let it stand. *Perhaps not on one or two of our political threads, but that's another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your Christmas spirit Athy and we've discussed Christmas adverts in another thread, so they are undoubtedly quite popular here. However, the OP hasn't made much of a Yuletide effort, has he: no festive classics like dragons, carrots and such. I wonder if, before outright approval in the spirit of Christmas, you ought not ask for a better effort - something slightly more Christmassy?

Guest Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 See, what I love about this forum is that I read the subject line as being basically the anti-batton-twirlers' association... and now I find it is about sprouts! (Which, clearly, should be bought on the stem for 'light sabre' purposes / made into delicious winterval salads after light steaming...). (In case anyone was wondering... Neither of their pet ramps look particularly useful for pontoon->trad stern terrier ingress. (Angles are more automobile -oriented). And one of them costs as much as a new terrier...)

BlueStringPudding Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 As a previous customer of Mobility Smart I've recommended them to other people in the past. All sorts of intriguingly helpful stuff on their website from the obvious like grab rails for next to steep steps out of the boat or in the shower, grippy kitchenware that won't slide off surfaces or cups that are easy to hold when steering, to folding steps or a tray you can carry securely with a single handle which is a darn site easier than carrying a tray with both hands when you turn your shoulders to walk down a narrow boat corridor. A bit of lateral thinking and there's quite a lot of handy stuff for boaters on their website. It's not just ramps and scooters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
