Please note this supplier only ships on Tuesdays and Thursdays, regardless of shipping speed requested.
TheraTogs Full Body System is designed for children and adults with complex neuromotor disorders including postural, mobility, and balance issues. Core components of the system are a TankTop and a Hipster which when used together provide a solid base of trunk stability and postural alignment. The included limb cuffs and strapping can then be added to achieve shoulder stability or subluxation and hip stability, internal/external leg rotation, and/or knee extension. The Full Body System wraps the torso and extremities in a ‘strapping field’ that improves postural alignment and stability. This system addresses the greatest variety of functional alignment and movement issues, as well as related issues in the extremities proximal to the wrists and ankles
