TheraGym Time-In Swing: Cocoon-style mesh therapy swing for Sensory Integration and Vestibular Therapy
The TheraGym Time-In Swing is a soft nylon mesh cocoon swing designed for gentle, calming vestibular input and relaxation — a go-to tool for students who need to decompress and self-regulate. Single-point attachment with extra-strong safety snap. Stabilizing bottom board included (removable for snugger fit).
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
- Cocoon design — the enclosed mesh wraps gently around the student, providing light proprioceptive compression alongside vestibular input
- Calming focus — specifically designed for soothing and decompression, not high-energy vestibular challenges
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, 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.
