Arm Off, Told to Diet”: Why Weight-Neutral Healthcare Matters.

If you’ve experienced the pain of weight stigma in healthcare, you’re not alone. This powerful article shares real stories and reveals why weight-neutral healthcare is essential for dignified, effective support, ensuring every patient is truly heard.

The Importance of Size-Inclusive Healthcare: Enhancing Patient Outcomes

Size-inclusive healthcare is essential for improving patient outcomes. At Laneways Rehabilitation, we foster acceptance, respect, and weight-neutral care, ensuring everyone feels valued and empowered on their journey to better health.

We prioritise patient-first language, using ‘living in a larger body.’ While we acknowledge ‘obesity’ as a medical term, we limit its use to clinical discussions. We’re committed to reducing weight bias and promoting inclusive care.
