General Guidelines

TheraTogs are highly adaptable and the list of applications is long. Here are some general guidelines for ascertaining if TheraTogs are right for your client: 

• If the therapist/practitioner can effect a change in the client’s stability, alignment, mobility, or motor control through unforced handling during a therapy session, it’s likely that this change can be replicated and supported outside the session by a properly configured TheraTogs strapping system.
  
  This is what we mean by sending your hands home — if you can change a patient with your hands, you can most likely create a TheraTogs strapping application that continues those benefits when the patient goes home.
  
  
• Caregivers and clinicians also use TheraTogs as an extra pair of hands during positioning efforts, or to support other goals during clinical or exercise sessions. If you're struggling to effectively manage positioning with a wheelchair or other devices, or if you need to get that trunk positioned so that you can work on hand control -- TheraTogs can be a very useful adjunct to your current management strategies.
