  • 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 "send 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.

    - If you or your therapist feel you're "running out of hands" and could use a few more to effectively manage problems related to positioning (in a wheelchair or on other devices), or to handling during therapeutic exercise sessions, you'll also find in TheraTogs very helpful adjunct to your current management strategies.
