TheraGym Log Swing: Deluxe bolster therapy swing for Sensory Integration and Vestibular Therapy
The TheraGym Log Swing is a premium bolster log swing designed for progressive balance and motor development therapy with textured and smooth vinyl surfaces. Single or dual-point attachment with safety snaps.
Therapeutic Benefits
- Primary sensory input: Vestibular — swinging motion provides linear and rotary vestibular input that supports sensory integration, balance, and spatial awareness
- Secondary input: Proprioceptive — maintaining position on the swing engages core muscles for organizing proprioceptive feedback
- Self-regulation — slow, rhythmic swinging is calming; faster swinging is alerting — students or therapists adjust intensity to match sensory needs
- Tactile component — dual-texture surface (smooth and textured) provides additional tactile input during prone activities
- Progressive challenges — therapists can modify difficulty through attachment points, speed, and student positioning
Ideal For
- Settings: Sensory rooms, OT clinics, therapy gyms
- Supports students with: Autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing differences, vestibular processing challenges, low muscle tone, motor planning difficulties
- IEP goal areas: Vestibular processing, balance, core strength, self-regulation, motor planning, bilateral coordination
- Ages/Capacity: Children through adults, up to 200 lbs
How to Use
Mount securely to a ceiling beam or swing frame rated for the weight capacity. Start with slow, gentle swinging and adjust intensity based on the student’s response and therapeutic goals. Your occupational therapist can integrate swinging activities into sensory diet plans and vestibular therapy protocols.
