Pediatric
Our program
The pediatric Cage Therapy varies child to child. Each program is designed to meet your child's needs. The system of pulleys, straps, and braces is designed to perform a variety of exercises. It helps to improve strength, active range of motion and muscle flexibility. The therapist can isolate any specific muscle group and strengthen it.
The "Spider Cage" is partial or full suspension in the middle of the universal unit with support received through elastic cords. This dynamic support allows the patient to perform any movement of functional skill virtually "independently".
Spider program promotes joint stabilization without fear of falling. Physiological loading of joints helps to minimize negative behaviors.
Full suspension program is great for vestibular stimulation and early muscle activation.
All exercises are performed in upright position while maintaining proper aligament.
Patient practices Neuro-developmental skills to achieve functional mobility.
