theratogs

What are TheraTogs?

TheraTogs are lightweight, comfortable, easy to care for therapy garments for children with postural issues, reduced stability and delayed motor skills.
​
Theratogs are 'wearable therapy' orthotics which give your child 8-10 hours of therapeutic benefit each day!
How do TheraTogs work?

Your therapist can correct postural or biomechanical issues for your child through the application of TheraTogs. 

Adjusting the TheraTogs straps, causes an alteration in posture and body alignment. This improves midline orientation and muscle tone, to help your child be more stable or move!

Your child wears their TheraTogs under their clothing during the day. This helps to improve their posture and normalize muscle activation.

​When your child is moving, sitting, standing or walking, their body will experience a greater alignment and improved stability.

By doing repetitive and everyday tasks in their TheraTogs, your child will experience a faster improvement in their function.

As your child’s function improves, there are additional TheraTogs straps and adjustments that can be applied by your therapist to further enhance alignment, posture and function.

Other benefits of wearing TheraTogs:
​

Improved core strength
Improved respiratory capacity
Increased sensory awareness
Improved attention and concentration
Greater capacity to improve other skills such as speech and fine motor skills

“The most basic human response to gravity is to strive to achieve and maintain the upright position.
Weakness of the core musculature compromises that effort,
produces muscle imbalances, and can
​interfere with limb function by recruiting limb
muscles for balance.”
