As a captivating, exciting change to a therapy classic, the Southpaw Rainbow Platform Swing provides all of the same vestibular feedback of the standard wooden platform swing, but with a LYCRA fabric bottom. Soft and resistive, this comfortable fabric facilitates added proprioceptive input to enhance patient outcomes. Often used in therapy settings to treat a wide range of sensory processing disorders, this platform swing can help kids build strength, balance, and other developmental skills as well. Its especially beneficial for the vestibular system and healthy proprioception development.

This soft-bottomed platform swing offers more specific input than a flat-bottomed swing, enhancing the therapy to optimize results. With its control lines attached to the top disc, therapists can create a wide range of tilting movements to customize the therapy to every clients unique requirements. It can safely support a variety of client positions from prone to standing and offers a 200-pound working load capacity.
To ensure security and the safest use possible, this platform swing requires the installation of a Hanging Equipment Safety Strap, a carabiner from Southpaw that provides a quick and secure connection for this hanging equipment. Southpaws Safety Rotational Device is also recommended to ensure safe and uninterrupted rotation for the swing.
