✨ Help Us Support Sol Catalina ✨

Meet Sol Catalina — a beautiful 21-year-old young woman living with spastic cerebral palsy. Despite her daily challenges, her smile continues to shine. Catalina spends most of her time in bed, as her mum Marina (her full-time carer and single parent) struggles to safely lift her. Without proper equipment, Catalina’s comfort, health, and quality of life have been severely impacted.

💙 After much research, Catalina’s family found that a specialised Convaid stroller from Australia is the most affordable option to give her the support, dignity, and freedom she deserves. The goal is $3,500 AUD to cover the chair and shipping.

At Active Rehab, we’re proud to stand alongside Catalina’s family by donating the upholstery and essential positioning supports for her new stroller. Now, with your help, we can get her that special chair so she can go outside again, attend therapy, and enjoy life beyond her bedroom walls.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Even sharing Sol’s story helps bring her one step closer to her goal.

👉 Let’s rally together and make this possible for Sol Catalina and her incredible mum.

What an Incredible day!✨
A huge thankyou to Tilly Brook from Permobil Australia for leading this fantastic training session yesterday on Power Seat Functions; Drive wheel configurations & Under Pressure.

Clinicians explored how different power seat functions and drive wheel configurations impact mobility, function, and independence — gaining hands-on experience with powered wheelchairs, trialing various setups, and building confidence in their clinical decision-making.
They also deep-dived into the causes and classifications of pressure injuries, and unpacked current best-practice strategies for prevention and treatment. This session equipped attendees with evidence-based tools and insights to better support clients at risk.

Wheelchair trial joy! 🧡
One of our littlest participants had an absolute blast during their wheelchair trial with Active Rehab - trying out three different chairs and picking it up with ease! His face lit up the clinic, and the smiles were contagious.
He’s hoping for a bright orange one… and we’re all crossing fingers for approval!
Moments like these remind us why we do what we do.
