BOUNCE MEDICAL TheraTogs

TheraTogs

TheraTogs are a live-in exo-muscular system for neuromotor, postural, and sensory training. The typical system includes a two –piece garment worn under the clothes and against the skin like underwear. The pants garment – which we call the “Hipster” – is designed with wide openings for easy toileting, so you don’t have to remove the system to go to the bathroom.

Each system is uniquely configured by a rehab clinician to meet a client’s specific needs. Using the documentation provided (and DVD, if included) the clinician instructs the are giver(s) in the proper donning of the garments, and the proper placement of strap(s). The clinician typically starts with just the garments for an initial period, then adds strapping application(s) over time. In short, TheraTogs systems provide a versatile, flexible approach to addressing and managing a wide range of mobility, sensory input, and stability issues.

Progressive Therapy – By Design

TheraTogs garment and strapping systems are so versatile, so customizable, and can be so immediately effective that we understand the temptation to correct many problems at once and to ask caretakers to follow through. Please do not try to do so.

In the course of a single therapy session, therapists often wish they had more hands to bring to their efforts to train the client to function in improved postural and limb alignment. We are thrilled to be able to provide these clinicians with those “extra hands” in the form of a Velcro-sensitive garment set and assorted straps.

However, when it comes to designing strapping systems that will continue successful treatments at home by providing the massed practice needed for sensorimotor learning, we suggest that clinicians use TheraTogs progressively.

TheraTogs for Clinic Use

TheraTogs Clinical Starter Systems (CSS) allow any rehab team to explore TheraTogs solutions as a standard of care for all of their clients. Sold directly to US clinics and practitioners, the CSS contains basic TheraTogs components in multiple sizes, and allows your clinic or practice to:

  • Trial a TheraTogs application on any patient in your caseload to determine how it can improve your clinical outcomes
  • Experiment with strapping applications in support of clinical objectives
  • Support other therapy modalities during the clinical session with the “extra hands” TheraTogs provide
  • Demonstrate TheraTogs results to caregivers and train them in TheraTogs applications

TheraTogs for Clients

TheraTogs client systems are designed to be customized, trimmed, and fitted to an individual wearer. They are normally worn next to the skin, under normal garments, where the patented foam layer can gently grip the soft tissues and create the biomechanical changes that are unique to TheraTogs systems.

TheraTogs are sized by a combination of weight and body dimensions, expressed in a range;  each size of each product fits all wearers within that range.
