In this episode of The Martina Tierney Podcast, Martina speaks with Norma Findlay, Head of Clinical Operations at Tierco Healthcare, to explore the true importance of 24-hour postural care.

Norma shares her clinical experience and insights into why posture cannot be considered in isolation, but must be supported across the full 24-hour period, from lying and sitting to transfers and personal care.

The conversation highlights the risks of poor positioning over time, including the development of avoidable complications such as pressure injuries, reduced mobility and loss of independence.

Together, Martina and Norma discuss how a more holistic approach to care can improve outcomes, support rehabilitation and enhance quality of life for those who require assistance with daily living.

This episode offers practical guidance and thought-provoking insight for clinicians, caregivers and healthcare professionals who want to better understand how consistent, clinically led positioning can make a lasting difference.
