Universal Exercise Unit
This is a therapy tool that enables a child to perform resisted
weight training, low load prolonged stretching and also supports the child in various movement patterns. This promotes
strengthening through functional, everyday tasks.
TheraSuit
The Therasuit™ originated from the Russian space suit. It is a suit that supports and stabilizes by using
major muscle groups in the body to normalize movement patterns. It also helps to strengthen muscles while maintaining
proper body alignment.
