TheraGym Economy Log Swing: Horizontal bolster therapy swing for Sensory Integration and Vestibular Therapy
The TheraGym Economy Log Swing is a versatile nylon-padded horizontal bolster that supports prone lying, straddling, and seated swinging for vestibular and core strengthening activities. Single or dual-point attachment with 2 safety snaps and 6-foot rope included.
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
- Core strengthening — prone and straddling positions require sustained core engagement for balance and postural control
- Bilateral coordination — pumping and steering the swing builds bilateral motor skills
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.
