Discovering Comfort and Support with
Spex Seating – Jodie’s Story

Meet Para-Equestrian Dressage rider, Jodie Thorne from Tauranga, New Zealand, who has found a transformative seating solution with Spex Seating. Living with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD), Jodie faces challenges with mobility and posture that demand tailored support. Thanks to the Medifab team in New Zealand, she now uses a Spex cushion and back support, significantly enhancing her comfort and quality of life.

Jodie’s Spex Classic Back Support not only provides the necessary postural support for her unique needs but also offers flexibility for shoulder blade movement, ensuring she remains active and engaged in the activities she loves. Jodie’s personalised seating setup, which also includes her Spex Classic Standard Contour Cushion, means she can fully embrace her passions, including outdoor adventures with her horse and dog, while staying comfortable and supported.

Her seamless experience with Medifab highlights the team’s expertise in delivering seating solutions that empower users to live life to the fullest. Jodie’s words of encouragement to anyone considering Spex Seating for their seating needs?

“Definitely go for it. I love my seating!”
