7 benefits of a Therapy Swing:

Not sure if the Swüng It® Therapy Swing is right for your child or how to use it? Discover here the reasons and tips why it's the perfect companion for your child.

1. The perfect retreat

Everyone needs some peace, including children. For instance, after a stressful day at school, a child might need to unwind before moving on to the next activity. Reading a book or listening to a calming audiobook in the sensory swing could be a relaxing option.

 

 2.  Power down before bedtime

It's almost bedtime and your child still has too much energy? Then it's time for the Swüng it® Therapy Swing, where they can romp, spin, swing, and much more.

 

 3. Balance & coordination exercises

No matter which exercises or positions are adopted in the Swüng It® therapy swing, balance is automatically trained, along with other skills such as coordination.

4. Like Mom's Hug

The stretchable and comfortable fabric made of cotton fleece provides gentle pressure on the entire body, creating a sensation of a hug and inviting relaxation.

5.  Enhancement of body awareness

The swinging movements and the pressure of the fabric also train proprioception. This means how we perceive our body and how and where it is positioned in space is trained.

6. Self-regulation

 

Your child may experience tantrums and not know where to channel their anger, and they might not even want to be comforted by a caregiver. That's where the Swüng It® sensory swing can help. The swinging motions help the body relax, inducing a sense of calm. Alternatively, your child might need to release energy and engage in active play to regulate themselves.

 

7.  Lots of fun

 

The Swüng It® sensory Swing doesn't have to be used with a specific goal in mind; it's also designed for pure fun and play. Especially during long stretches of rainy days, it provides the perfect entertainment in a child's room and a fantastic alternative to the playground.

The Swüng It® sensory Swing adapts to every need your child may have, catering to the moment's requirements. For some children, it might take a little time to warm up to the idea of a sensory swing, and that's completely normal.

Wishing you lots of fun!
