TheraGym Sling Swing

TheraGym Sling Swing: Aerial hammock therapy swing for Sensory Integration and Vestibular Therapy

The TheraGym Sling Swing is a versatile aerial hammock that supports both prone and seated positions for sensory engagement, offering gentle vestibular input in a suspended, supportive surface. Dual-point attachment for linear swinging.

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
• Prone and seated options — prone position builds core and neck extension; seated position provides gentle rocking for calming
• Supportive suspension — the sling conforms to the body, providing proprioceptive feedback similar to a hammock

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 and 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.
