How TheraTogs Work
For biomechanical applications...
TheraTogs apply prolonged, low-load (gentle) forces to the musculoskeletal system to effect changes in muscle recruitment strategies, and, with full-time use, in muscle physiology and bone geometry.
To gain optimum posture and function, thousands or repetitions of movements must occur in optimum alignment. TheraTogs accomplishes this by wrapping the torso in a Velcro-sensitive garment that serves as a ‘strapping field,' allowing the clinician or caregiver to attach straps that work like external muscles to improve postural alignment and stability, and potentially address a wide variety of functional alignment and movement issues.
For example, for a client with scapular hypermobility or simple, mild shoulder subluxation, specific stretch straps are locked into place with Velcro tabs, providing external force vectors to correct scapular, shoulder, elbow and forearm alignment.
For sensory integration/sensory processing applications...
A snugly-fit TheraTogs system provides the wearer with gentle, consistent proprioceptive and deep pressure input - a 'wearable hug' worn discreetly under clothing.
More in-depth information on how TheraTogs work is available in the Medical section of the website.
