Product overview

Enabling Access is an occupational therapy services company (not a software platform) offering a comprehensive suite of clinical and workplace health services across Manitoba. The company operates as a single unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. Core services include individual occupational therapy (covering mobility/wheelchairs, home safety, mental health, cognitive rehabilitation, and life care planning) and workplace services (ergonomics, functional capacity evaluations, and injury prevention training). The company also sells two physical products through its EA Shop: the Industrial Workplace Stretching Poster and Customized Office Stretches Poster. All services are delivered by occupational therapists primarily in Winnipeg and throughout Manitoba, with some virtual service availability across multiple Canadian provinces.
