Meet the TheraTogs Wrist & Thumb System

The TheraTogs Wrist & Thumb System is a soft, wearable support designed to hold the wrist and thumb in a more functional position—so kids can actually use their hands more effectively throughout the day.

It is especially helpful for children with neuromotor or biomechanical challenges who struggle with thumb-in-palm, weak grasp, or difficulty stabilizing the wrist for play and daily tasks.

Unlike rigid splints, this system offers gentle, prolonged correction during real-life activity—writing, playing, feeding, self-care—helping the body “practice” better alignment and gradually build more effective movement patterns over time. It can be worn alone or combined with other TheraTogs systems as part of a whole-body approach to posture and function.

If you work with children who fight their wrist splints, fatigue quickly with fine motor tasks, can’t quite get the thumb out and around the object and can improve wrist and thumb alignment without force, this is a tool worth having in your pediatric toolbox.

We don't need to be the loudest voice in the room. We just need to have both the evidence and the results.

Here's what our research specifically measured:

✔️Seven RCTs examining foot pressure distribution, trunk control, postural stability, Pediatric Balance Scale scores, gait parameters, fall risk, and 6-minute walk distance.
✔️All showing statistically significant improvements.
✔️That's peer-reviewed data published in rehabilitation journals.

And here's what families experience:
➡ Children achieving things they were told weren't possible.
➡ Bodies that suddenly work WITH them instead of against them.
➡ Progress that shows up in daily life, not just therapy sessions.

These aren't contradictory. They're complementary. The postural changes do parents notice immediately? Those are the biomechanical shifts that, over time, show up as improved balance scores, better gait mechanics, and enhanced functional mobility.

Standardized outcome measures often lag behind clinical changes because they measure integrated function after neurological adaptation has occurred.
Early improvements in alignment and proprioceptive feedback are the foundation for later measurable functional gains.

We're fortunate to have both kinds of evidence:
Research that validates the mechanisms. Clinical experience that demonstrates the application. Family testimony that confirms the real-world impact.
We've done the work—and it holds up to scrutiny.

While also acknowledging that research has limitations. Studies measure what we can quantify, but don't capture everything families value.

Both matter. Both are valid. Both inform evidence-based practice.

Think of TheraTogs as the base layer.

The constant that therapists incorporate into different approaches.

We're used by therapists who practice NDT, DMI, traditional PT, and more. Not because we've proven TheraTogs specifically enhances each of these modalities—that would require comparative studies we haven't done yet. But because consistent postural alignment and proprioceptive input create a better baseline for motor learning, regardless of the therapeutic approach.

Here's the principle: motor learning requires accurate sensory feedback.
If a child's trunk is collapsing and their alignment is compromised... the sensory information their nervous system receives is distorted.

Our research shows TheraTogs significantly improves:
💡Postural alignment and trunk control
💡Proprioceptive feedback (via improved balance and reduced postural sway)
💡Gait mechanics
💡Functional mobility

What we haven't studied: whether TheraTogs + specific modalities produce superior outcomes to those modalities alone.

Great research question for the future (anyone interested?)

What we DO know: therapists across different approaches report that when alignment is addressed consistently, their interventions become more efficient.

TheraTogs provides the postural baseline.

What you build on top of that is up to your clinical expertise, training, and the child's needs.

That's not us claiming we're better than any approach. That's us saying alignment matters.

Whether you’re brand new to TheraTogs or have been using them for years, a few common fitting mistakes can limit your outcomes.

Common TheraTogs fitting misakes (and what to do):

Over‑tightening straps
❌Mistake: Cranking straps “nice and snug” because it feels more supportive.
✔️Do instead: Aim for gentle, targeted tension—enough to guide alignment, not compress. After anchoring one end, apply light tension to the other and recheck comfort and movement quality. Never apply straps circumferentially around a body part, but rather, in a spiraling configuration.

Incorrect strap angle placement
❌Mistake: Experimenting with strap angles without a clear biomechanical goal.
✔️Do instead: Match strap direction to the muscle action or movement you want to facilitate. Deepen your toolbox by attending a Certified Fitter Lab to learn strap configurations for common presentations.

Skipping joint alignment before securing
❌Mistake: Strapping first, then “fixing” alignment after.
✔️Do instead: Alignment first, straps second. Position the child in optimal alignment, then secure straps to reinforce that posture for carryover throughout the day.

Missing skin integrity checks at initial fitting
❌Mistake: Assuming “no complaints” means no skin issues.
✔️Do instead: Proactively inspect bony prominences and high‑pressure areas, especially in non‑verbal kids. Teach caregivers what to look for (redness that doesn’t fade, irritation, pain behaviors) so you know what adjustments need to be made next visit.

Inadequate caregiver education on adjustments
❌Mistake: Trying to teach the entire system in one session.
✔️Do instead: Break education into small, manageable steps. Start with consistent garment wear at home, then layer in strapping as they’re ready. Use labeled straps, simple handouts, and short videos so caregivers can reference the setup between visits.

Want to learn more about assessment and strapping techniques to maximize outcomes with TheraTogs use? Find a Certified TheraTogs Fitter Lab where you will not only learn these techniques, but you will get hands-on practice donning the garments as well as experiencing the effects of TheraTogs.

TheraTogs shines in a multidisciplinary model—especially in clinics with PT, OT, and Speech all under one roof.

When everyone uses the same alignment and sensory “base layer,” kids get more consistent input, better carryover, and stronger functional gains across their whole day.

How different disciplines might utilize TheraTogs
Physical Therapy
Decrease compensatory strategies, improve postural control and alignment, and help lower risk for progressive deformity by reinforcing optimal biomechanics during movement.

Occupational Therapy
Support ADLs like self-feeding, improve upper limb use in school and play activities, and provide sensory input that can support attention and behavioral regulation.

Speech Therapy
Improve postural base for breathing, phonation, and swallowing by stabilizing the trunk and head, setting the stage for safer, more efficient speech and feeding work.

⚠️💧Water use reminder
TheraTogs are not appropriate for pools or hydrotherapy environments due to chemical exposure that degrades the materials. They can be used in casual tap-water play like baths, sprinklers, or backyard wading pools, then removed and dried promptly.

Does your clinic have a multidisciplinary approach with TheraTogs use?

Share this with your team and start a conversation about where consistent postural support could amplify your outcomes.

TheraTogs isn't sexy. We know this.

You're not going to see flashy before-and-afters of kids doing backflips after one session.

What you WILL see:
🧒A child who couldn't sit through dinner now making it through the whole meal.
🧒 A kid who belly-crawled everywhere suddenly pulling to stand.
🧒A toddler whose legs were always sc******ng now taking steps with feet apart.

The boring stuff. The foundational stuff.

Here's what we've learned in 20+ years: flashy techniques get attention.

Foundational alignment gets results.

When a child's body is properly aligned and getting consistent proprioceptive input, motor learning becomes more efficient.

Our 7 published RCTs measured improvements in postural sway, Pediatric Balance Scale scores, gait parameters, and spinal alignment—all statistically significant.

But it also shows up in ways standardized tests don't always capture:
✔️Increased sitting tolerance. ✔️Reduced effort for movement. ✔️Improved body awareness that makes therapy exercises more effective.

Billi says it best: "If they improve the kid's functioning alignment, then yes, they work. That's the goal of Togs."

Not magic. Not miracles.

Just consistent biomechanical support that provides the sensory information a child's nervous system has been seeking.

Most parents don't ask about the studies first.

They ask why their kid finally slept through the night. Why their daughter can suddenly ride in the car without screaming. Why their son's teachers are asking what changed.

Then we show them the research that validates what they're experiencing.

The boring foundation stuff. That's our specialty.

There’s a lot of uncertainty in the therapy and reimbursement space right now.

Access to services is harder to secure, coverage for treatments and equipment is decreasing, and reimbursement rates continue to drop.

Families and clinicians alike are struggling to get the consistent, high-quality care children with disabilities need.

At TheraTogs, we aim to be part of the solution.
TheraTogs garments are more than supportive wear—they extend your child’s therapy beyond the clinic by reinforcing alignment and motor patterns throughout the day.

Designed by Beverly Cusick, PT, MS, NDT, BOC/COF, TheraTogs:
👉 Provides gentle external support for postural alignment and stability.
👉 Enhances body awareness for improved motor control.
👉 Supports functional movement while allowing natural patterns.
👉 Promotes independence and participation in daily activities.
👉 Reduces compensatory movement patterns over time.

TheraTogs were created to let families “take their therapist’s hands home.” With daily wear, your child can continue to benefit from hours of therapeutic alignment between sessions—at a fraction of the cost.

Consider the math: while a single therapy session may cost around $100/hour or more, TheraTogs—priced near $350—can deliver up to eight hours a day of therapeutic benefit. That’s an investment that pays for itself almost immediately in added progress and carryover.

TheraTogs helps bridge the gap between therapy sessions to keep progress moving forward—every hour, every day.

"Do you have research supporting TheraTogs?"

Yes. Seven randomized controlled trials measuring postural control, balance, gait mechanics, and spinal geometry.

Published. Peer-reviewed. Statistically significant results.

But here's what parents actually ask us:
🙋‍♀️"Will this help my daughter sit up straight?"
🙋‍♀️"Can my son finally play at the park without falling constantly?"
🙋‍♀️"Will my child be able to take a step unassisted?"

The evidence matters to researchers, insurance companies, and evidence-conscious therapists.

But families want to know if this will make Tuesday morning easier.

Here's what we hear most often:
˃ "I wish someone had told us about this sooner."
˃ "The postural changes were immediate—and they've held up over time."
˃ "My child actually ASKS to wear them."

What parents notice right away: better alignment, reduced effort for movement, improved body awareness.

What research measures over time: statistically significant improvements in balance, gait, postural control, and functional mobility.

Both matter.

The immediate postural changes families observe become the foundation for the measurable functional gains research captures.

Not to win academic debates.

To give families a tool that works in real life, in real time, for real kids.
And to back that real-world experience with rigorous research.

As the holiday season approaches and families plan travel or cozy nights at home, it's common for kids to spend more time in front of screens—sometimes more than parents might like.

We went on a hunt to curate a short list of quality movies and TV shows that portray children with disabilities in a respectful, empowering way that helps promote awareness and acceptance, creating a more inclusive world—even from the comfort of home or during holiday.

Disclaimer - we haven’t watched all of these and most skew towards older kids. Check out the trailers online to learn more before watching.

🍿Everybody Dance - A documentary that follows children with disabilities participating in dance at a ballet school.
🍿 Out of My Mind - Follows Melody Brooks, a 6th grader with CP and is non-verbal who enters mainstream education and thrives.
🍿 Right Footed - Chronicles the life of Jessica Cox who was born without arms and goes on to learn how to type with her toes, drive with her feet and even fly an airplane with her feet.
🍿 Wonder - A story about Auggie, a boy with facial differences who attends a traditional school after being homeschooled his whole life.
🍿 Speechless (TV show) - A family of a child with special needs and how they tackle all the challenges.
🍿 The Healing Power of Dude - An 11-year old boy with anxiety disorder starts school along with his sarcastic emotional support dog.

Which ones have you seen? What movies would you add to the list?

Q: "I'm a parent, why can't I order TheraTogs directly for my child?"

TheraTogs are FDA-registered as a Class I medical device, requiring custom-fitting by a qualified clinician. They can influence significant biomechanical and postural alignment change with long-term effects, and should only be configured by a qualified clinician – typically a physical/occupational/orthotist – in response to the wearer’s specific needs.

A trained clinician will:
👉 Assess your child’s unique needs and movement patterns
👉 Apply the right strapping techniques for maximum benefit. Some strapping setups also require clinical safety checks.
👉 Provide hands-on training so you can use TheraTogs confidently at home

Ask your child’s therapy team about TheraTogs. Together, you can make sure it’s tailored and managed for your child’s unique needs.
