TheraTogs ™

What are TheraTogs?

TheraTogs ™ are developed by Beverly Cusick, PT, MS, BOC.  They are an orthotic undergarment and strapping system designed for a child with sensorimotor impairment.  TheraTogs are custom fit with a cozy non-slip TheraTogs support and strapping system to specifically address the child’s individual musculoskeletal, postural, balance, or movement issue.

Why use TheraTogs?

• Promote optimum bone and joint development
• Provide joint stability and increased body awareness
• Improve posture, balance, gait, and movement skills
• Reduce the postural correction workload that is often expected of foot and ankle orthoses
• Improve motor performance during therapy sessions
• “Send the therapist’s hands home” in support of the therapy program between session
