TheraTogs

TheraTogs™ are a revolutionary orthotic undergarment and strapping system that gives clients with sensorimotor impairment an exciting new modality for improving postural alignment and stability, movement skill and precision, and joint stability.

TheraTogs are designed and developed by Beverly Cusick, PT, MS, BOC.TheraTogs provide a foam-lined, Latex®-free, breathable, comfortable, Velcro®-sensitive “external skin” for sensorimotor training of clients with developmental disabilities, and for clients in rehabilitation from brain injury, stroke, orthopedic surgery, or neurosurgery.

TheraTogs are designed to be worn directly on the skin, out of sight under the client’s regular clothes. When snugly applied, the garments comfortably and gently "grip" the skin surface, which allows proper strapping applications to effectively influence the client’s movement, stability, posture, and gait.

TheraTogs™ are used to:

* Promote optimum bone and joint development

* Provide joint stability and increased body awareness

* Improve posture, balance, gait, and movement skills

* Reduce the postural correction workload that is often expected of foot and ankle orthoses

* Improve motor performance during therapy sessions

* “Send the therapist’s hands home” in support of the therapy program between sessions.
