Hall Orthodontists Sitting Pretty!
Support Stool are pleased to announce that the
Orthodontic Department at Booth Hall Children’s Hospital, part of the Central

Support Stool at an Exhibition. He was so impressed by its comfort,

Clinic for evaluation by other members of his staff. Everyone was so impressed

amongst their considerations were the significant Health and Safety issues
associated with inappropriate seating. This can lead to a wide range of
potential problems including a myriad of spinal, elbow, eye, upper arm,

Department is happy. David no longer experiences lower back pain and can work
happily for a full day’s clinic without becoming whingy and grumpy. Now he
feels sorry for the staff on the other clinics he works in. They don’t have
Support stools yet and he notices the difference almost straight away. David
hopes they will get some soon too. As he says “they’re fantastic”.
Some of the other Hospitals and Clinics now using
Support Stools include the Orthodontic Dept at
