TheraGym Small Chillax Swing: Enclosed taco-style Lycra therapy swing for Sensory Integration and Vestibular Therapy
The TheraGym Small Chillax Swing is a four-layer heavy-duty Lycra swing that wraps around the student like a taco, providing multi-sensory input through vestibular movement, proprioceptive compression, and full-body tactile contact. Single-point attachment.
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
- Multi-sensory input — combines vestibular (swinging), proprioceptive (compression from Lycra), and tactile (full-body fabric contact) in one tool
- Deep calming — the enclosed, compressed position is highly calming for students who are overstimulated or anxious
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 (small size), up to 150 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.
