Description
This swing is widely used in clinical and school-based therapy settings to support children with sensory processing difficulties, including vestibular hypo- or hyper-responsiveness and postural instability. By introducing graded movement and directional changes, the swing facilitates therapeutic vestibular stimulation in a controlled, engaging way.
Therapeutic Benefits:
- Promotes vestibular system development through multi-directional motion
- Supports spatial and directional awareness
- Encourages core stability, postural control, and balance
- Useful in calming or alerting activities, depending on movement patterns
- Enhances body awareness and motor planning in sensory integration programmes
Key Features:
- Instability of platform increases the challenge and therapeutic value
- Can be used in both prone and seated positions to target different reflexes and responses
- Suitable for indoor use with appropriate suspension and safety surfacing
- Encourages adaptive responses to sensory input in a structured, supportive setting
