The Medium Wrap Therapy Swing is an ideal option for younger children, especially those under 140cm tall. With a width of 180cm (compared to the larger 250cm version), this swing provides a snugger fit, offering less material overlap around the head and feet, making it more suitable for smaller users. It is designed to help with sensory integration by providing both vestibular and proprioceptive input, supporting calming effects and sensory regulation.
Therapeutic Benefits:
- Vestibular Input: The swing stimulates the vestibular system through rhythmic motion, promoting sensory integration, balance, and coordination. The swinging motion helps the brain process movement, providing calming and grounding sensory feedback.
- Proprioceptive Input: The wraparound sensation of the swing gives deep pressure input, helping children feel secure and providing a calming effect, especially beneficial for those with sensory processing challenges.
- Sensory Regulation: The swing’s movement helps regulate overstimulated nervous systems, making it an excellent tool for children with ADHD, autism, or anxiety, and can support emotional regulation through sensory input.
- Core Strength and Coordination: As children engage with the swing, they can strengthen core muscles, improve motor coordination, and develop body awareness.
Features:
- Size: Measures 450x180cm, providing a comfortable fit for smaller children under 140cm tall. The swing provides less overlap compared to the larger version, offering a more suitable option for young children while still allowing taller individuals to use it with comfort.
- Adjustable Hanging: The swing can be suspended from one or two points. Hanging from one point provides a tighter wrap with a spinning motion, while two points create a more open swing that moves mainly forward and backward.
- Smooth Nylon Fabric: The swing is made from smooth, strong nylon material with a slight stretch, similar to Lycra, ensuring durability while offering a comfortable, supportive experience.
- Weight Capacity: Suitable for users up to 90kg, making it ideal for children and lighter adults.
- Hanging Flexibility: The swing can be hung from horizontal supports (such as a beam on a verandah) using tree straps or from standard ceiling hooks, providing flexibility in setup.
Adjusting and Setup:
- Carabiners Included: The swing comes with two heavy-duty carabiners for quick and secure setup. To adjust the hanging height, simply tie each end through the carabiners and double knot the material to prevent slipping. Once adjusted, you can re-tie or tuck excess material securely in the carabiner.
- Easy Setup and Removal: The inclusion of carabiners allows for easy installation and removal without the need to adjust or re-tie the swing each time.
Usage:
- Indoor Use: The swing is mildew-resistant, but prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause fading, so it is best suited for indoor use. If used outdoors, it should be kept covered when not in use to protect the fabric.
Washing Instructions:
- Care: Hand wash recommended, with a low heat drying cycle for best results.
Safety Considerations:
- Age Recommendation: Suitable for children aged 3 and older, though young children should be supervised while using the swing to ensure they can get in and out safely. It’s also recommended to have a soft surface beneath the swing for added safety.
This Medium Wrap Therapy Swing provides a sensory-rich experience for smaller children, promoting relaxation, body awareness, balance, and sensory regulation. It is an excellent choice for therapeutic use in managing sensory processing challenges, while offering comfort and flexibility in setup.
