Key selling points
Adjustable working height
Set the seat height between 50 cm and 65 cm to achieve a comfortable working position alongside treatment chairs, examination couches and clinical equipment.
Personalised backrest support
An adjustable backrest allows users to refine their seated position and find a comfortable level of support during clinical tasks.
Adjustable seat tilt
Change the seat angle to suit your preferred sitting position, encouraging a more upright posture and helping reduce the need to lean forward excessively.
Easy clinic movement
The five-castor base and swivel design allow smooth repositioning around patients, treatment chairs and clinical workstations.
Comfortable flat seat
The 35 cm diameter flat-top seat offers a familiar sitting surface for practitioners who prefer conventional seating rather than a saddle-style stool.
Practical clinical upholstery
Durable, easy-to-clean upholstery helps maintain a professional appearance and supports routine cleaning in busy treatment environments.
What it does and how it works
The Nova Medway is a height-adjustable clinical stool designed to provide flexible seating for healthcare professionals working in treatment and examination rooms. Unlike a basic fixed-height stool, it offers adjustments for the seat height, backrest and seat angle, allowing the seating position to be adapted to different users and clinical activities.
During podiatry treatments, practitioners often need to sit close to a patient's feet while maintaining clear visibility and comfortable access to instruments. Sitting too high, too low or at an unsuitable angle can encourage unnecessary reaching, twisting or forward leaning.
The Medway Stool helps address these practical challenges by allowing the clinician to change their seat position according to the height of the treatment chair and the task being performed.
Seat height adjustment
Raising or lowering the seat within the 50–65 cm range helps position the practitioner at an appropriate working height. This can make it easier to keep the shoulders relaxed and maintain access to the treatment area.
Backrest adjustment
The adjustable backrest allows users to change its position to suit their seated posture. This provides additional flexibility compared with clinical stools without backrests.
Seat tilt adjustment
Altering the seat angle changes how the pelvis and upper body are positioned while sitting. A suitable tilt setting may help some users maintain a comfortable, more upright working posture.
The five-castor base and swivel function support short movements around the clinical workspace without repeatedly lifting or repositioning the stool. The overall design is intended to make seated clinical work more adaptable to the user and their treatment environment.
Common problems it may help with
Discomfort during prolonged sitting
Remaining in one seated position can contribute to tiredness and discomfort. Adjustable seating allows clinicians to change their working position and avoid relying on a single fixed posture throughout the day.
Forward leaning during treatment
Working close to a patient's feet can encourage excessive bending. Appropriate seat height and tilt settings can help practitioners position themselves closer to the task while maintaining a more comfortable posture.
Poor seating height
Fixed-height stools may be unsuitable for different treatment chairs or practitioner heights. The 50–65 cm adjustment range provides flexibility when adapting the clinical workstation.
Limited backrest adjustment
Basic clinical stools may provide little opportunity to alter back support. The Medway's adjustable backrest offers additional positioning options for users who prefer a stool with a backrest.
Awkward movement around patients
Static seating can make it inconvenient to reach equipment or reposition during treatment. Five castors and swivel movement allow controlled changes of position across suitable clinic floors.
Seating that is difficult to clean
Clinical furniture requires regular cleaning. The easy-clean upholstery provides a practical surface for routine care and maintenance in professional treatment spaces.
Applications and suitability
The Nova Medway Stool is designed for professional environments where practitioners need a combination of seated comfort, mobility and adjustable working height.
- Podiatry clinics: Seated working during routine foot examinations, nail care and appropriate podiatry treatments.
- Chiropody treatment rooms: Adjustable clinical seating for close-up foot-care work.
- Medical examination rooms: Practitioner seating during consultations and patient assessments.
- Physiotherapy and rehabilitation settings: A mobile seating option for appropriate seated assessment and treatment activities.
- Clinical treatment areas: Repositionable seating for professionals who work alongside treatment couches and equipment.
- Teaching clinics: Adjustable seating that can be adapted to the preferences of different practitioners.
- Professional treatment studios: Suitable where a compact stool with adjustable backrest and easy-clean upholstery is preferred.
Typical users: Podiatrists, chiropodists, foot health practitioners, physiotherapists, nurses, medical clinicians and appropriately trained treatment professionals.
Who it may not suit
The Medway is a versatile clinical stool, but it may not be the most suitable seating option for every person or working environment.
- Users who prefer saddle seating: The Medway has a conventional flat-top seat rather than the shaped profile of a saddle stool.
- Practitioners needing a full office chair: The compact clinical design may not provide the additional seating features required for prolonged desk-based work.
- Users requiring fixed-position seating: The five-castor design is intended for mobility. Locking castors are not specified.
- Users outside the available height range: The 50–65 cm seat adjustment should be checked against individual body dimensions and treatment chair height.
- Users requiring specialist supportive seating: A clinical seating assessment may be appropriate where specific postural support, mobility assistance or pressure-management features are required.
- Users requiring a verified weight rating: A maximum user weight is not specified here. Confirm suitability before use where load capacity is a purchasing requirement.
For practitioners comparing different sitting positions, a conventional flat stool and a saddle-style stool can feel quite different. Personal comfort, task height and the wider clinical workstation should all be considered when choosing.

Usage instructions
- Position the stool safely. Place the stool on a firm, level floor with enough space for its five-castor base to move without obstruction.
- Check the adjustment mechanisms. Before sitting, ensure that the seat, backrest and castors are in good condition and operate correctly.
- Set the seat height. Adjust the stool within the 50–65 cm range so that you can sit comfortably with your feet supported and maintain suitable access to your working area.
- Adjust the backrest. Position the backrest to provide comfortable contact and support for your preferred seated working position.
- Set the seat tilt. Adjust the seat angle gradually until you find a balanced position that allows you to work without excessive forward leaning.
- Check your clinical working position. Sit centrally on the seat and ensure that your shoulders can remain relaxed while you reach the treatment area and instruments.
- Move in a controlled way. Use the swivel and castor functions for short movements around the workstation. Avoid leaning excessively or using the stool to pull yourself across the room.
- Change position regularly. Alternate between suitable sitting positions, standing and movement during the working day to avoid remaining in one posture unnecessarily.
- Clean and inspect regularly. Clean the upholstery according to your clinical cleaning procedures and inspect the castors, seat and adjustment mechanisms for wear.
Practical seating tip: Start by adjusting the height of the stool and the position of the patient or treatment chair. Once the working height is comfortable, refine the seat tilt and backrest setting to suit your individual posture.

How high can the Nova Medway Stool be adjusted?
The seat height can be adjusted between 50 cm and 65 cm. This range allows practitioners to adapt their seating position to different treatment chair heights and clinical tasks. The most suitable setting will depend on the user's height, the treatment area and their preferred working posture.
Does the Medway Stool have an adjustable backrest?

Together, these features provide more flexibility than conventional fixed-position seating.
Is the Nova Medway Stool suitable for people with back pain?
The stool provides adjustable seating features that may help some users find a more comfortable working posture.

Anyone experiencing persistent discomfort should review their workstation setup and seek appropriate professional assessment.
