How do TheraTogs work?
TheraTogs employ the principle of applying prolonged, gentle,
corrective forces to the musculoskeletal system - in functional context - in order to
attempt to effect improvements in muscle recruitment strategies, and, with full-time use,
in muscle physiology and in young bone geometry resulting from thousands of movements per
day.
The wearer gains the experience - and the training potential - of prolonged therapeutic
"handling" throughout the day, every day, as s/he undertakes routine activities using
TheraTogs-induced improvements in posture and joint alignment, and while recruiting
underused muscles at more normal lengths. The main benefits seen for patients with severe
involvement have been in their preference for wearing Theratogs, some relaxation or
calming - either immediately or over time - and in easing the work load in carrying and
positioning for their caretakers.
