Mobility and Daily Living Aids for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis weakens the bones, so a fall that would otherwise cause bruising can lead to a fracture, most often of the wrist, hip or spine. Preventing falls and avoiding heavy lifting and awkward bending are central to staying well, and the right equipment makes this much easier at home and when out and about.
For osteoporosis information and support, speak to your healthcare professionals and visit the NHS website. Our qualified trusted assessors are also here to support you and your care team every step of the way, so please call us on 01926 624432.
Many of the products below are available to buy or through our Warwickshire-wide mobility equipment hire service. Hire can help to facilitate hospital discharge, enable you to try equipment before committing to a purchase, or provide support as needs change. We also offer a free home assessment with one of our qualified Warwick-based team to help you choose what’s right for you.

Mobility Aids
A walking stick or rollator improves balance and confidence, especially outdoors and on uneven ground, and a tri-tip ferrule adds grip. A mobility scooter or lightweight wheelchair helps over longer distances, particularly while recovering from a fracture.
Shop our Walking Aids, Wheelchairs and Scooters ranges, including the Folding Walking Stick, Tri-Tip Ferrule, Nitro SL, Ergo Lite 2 Transit and Rascal Vista. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.
Home Modifications and Falls Prevention
Most falls happen at home. Grab rails and bed rails give support where you need it, ramps remove trip hazards at doorways, and a stairlift or homelift removes the risk of the stairs.
Shop our Home Adaptations range, including Grab Rails, the Let’s Get Up Bed Rail, Ramps, the Curved Stairlift and the Homelift.
Bathroom and Hygiene Aids
Wet bathroom floors are a common place for falls. Shower stools, bath boards, a bath lift and toilet surrounds give a secure seat and something steady to hold, and a level-access wet room removes the step into the bath.
Shop our Bathing range, including the Swivel Shower Stool, Bathboard with Handle, Kanjo Silverline, Toilet Surround and Wet Room solutions.
Daily Living Aids
Reachers, long-handled washing aids, sock aids and shoehorns reduce bending, and a trolley avoids carrying heavy items around the home.
Shop our Daily Living Aids range, including the Standard Reacher, Long Handled Toe Washer, Easy-Pull Sock Aid, Plastic Shoehorn with Hook and Adjustable Indoor Trolley.
Seating and Beds
A riser recliner chair and bed and chair raisers make standing up easier and reduce strain on the back and hips, and a home care profiling bed helps if back pain makes getting in and out of bed difficult.
Shop our Riser Recliners and Beds ranges, including the Dinsdale, Bed & Chair Raisers and the Islington home care bed.
Repairs, Modifications & Servicing
Needs can change over time, and existing equipment doesn’t always need replacing. Wheelchairs and scooters can often be adapted with extra accessories, and our team can adjust and service equipment to keep it safe, comfortable and reliable.
Shop Wheelchair Accessories and Wheelchair Adaptations, or see our repair, modification & servicing team for adjustments, adaptations and servicing.
Using a combination of these products can help reduce the risk of falls and fractures and keep you independent while living with osteoporosis. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
