Compression garments have been used to improve posture and stability for those with neurological impairments or sensory deficits. They are ideal for those with Hypotonia, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Athetosis, Rett Syndrome, Autism, and Sensory Processing Disorders.
Material: Lycra/Nylon Fabric. 100% latex free.
Compared to other compression garments these are light, breathable and not restrictive.
A soft exoskeleton that improves posture and proprioception.
Our Spio range offers clinicians a range of different levels of support. Check out our Spio range online for more details. The classic TLSO is easy to use, increasing compliance. For more supportive needs/biomechanical correction you can use the TLSO with X-panel. The X-panels have two plastic cross supports to offer more extension control in the spine and scapular retraction. We also offer upper body garments, lower body garments, sleeves and gloves.
We offer two-week trials for some of the Spio range - call or email us for more information.
