TogRite is a dynamic strapping material with resisted elongation and strong, elastic rebound properties that uniquely replicate functioning muscle. The elasticized latex-free back grips the body to resist migration. TogRite is the latex-free "external muscle" strapping material now used with TheraTogs systems. TogRite combines Nylon, Spandex, and a gripping surface of inert silicone to create a new standard in force vector strapping. TogRite is hook-sensitive, comfortable, does not fray and can be cut to custom lengths. **There are 4 tabs per yard of TogRite Strapping**
Laboratory testing has demonstrated TogRite's superior rebound and recovery properties, with no "stretch out" or loss of recoil strength and resistance to stretch- even after repeated use and multiple machine washings. Straps have been tested by daily wear for more than six months continuously without loss of elastic vigor or grip.

Theratogs Systems purchased through Rehabmart are intended for U.S. residents. Purchasing this item for use outside the U.S. will void all warranties.
TheraTogs are an FDA-registered Class I medical device, providing gentle and prolonged muscle stretch and alignment that replicates the manual positioning and supervised therapy that the rehab clinician offers in a typical session. Commonly known as wearable therapy devices, the benefits of having thousands of repetitions in the garment to align correctly are readily apparent. These soft goods are not an off-the-shelf tool to be used without professional direction, however, they are easy to wear and care for once properly fitted and instructed on how to best utilize them. We hope that you will contact us with any questions that you may have before purchasing.
WHAT ARE THERATOGS? HOW DO THEY WORK?
TheraTogs are specialized undergarments and straps customized for your patient to create a live-in system that provides either neuromotor or postural training, or prolonged proprioceptive input.
- For patients with biomechanical or neuromotor issues, TheraTogs work by allowing the clinician to set the patient’s body in proper functional alignment, and letting them re-train their body through the ‘practice’ of daily activities. By applying prolonged, gentle forces during activity, TheraTogs can actually change the muscle and connective tissue – and for infants and young children, bone and joint development as well – in favor of better function and better alignment.
- For patients with sensory and sensorimotor issues, TheraTogs work by applying consistent, gentle compression and proprioceptive input across the entire trunk, and by offering stability and support in a dynamic system that moves with the patient.
Using TheraTogs as ‘wearable therapy’, your patient can gain the experience and the benefits of an all-day clinical therapy session. This is what we mean when we tell clinicians they can “send their hands home” with TheraTogs.
Rather than receive only 1 to 3 hours of therapy per week, the typical TheraTogs client receives up to 16 hours of wearable therapy every day.
