In this episode, Chanelle Olivier (OT) breaks down what single-handed care (SHC) really means in modern practice — and why it’s not about “doing more with less.”

She explains how SHC can promote safety, dignity, and independence when applied with the right equipment, training, and clinical reasoning.

Key topics include:

◑ What single-handed care is (and isn’t)

◑ How SHC supports client dignity and reduces carer strain

◑ The role of equipment and technique in safer transfers

◑ Common misconceptions that lead to unsafe practice

◑ How OTs can advocate for smarter, evidence-based manual handling
