Unlock the potential of TheraTogs

An Engaging, Hands-On TheraTogs Fitter Lab

Designed to build upon the principles and strategies pertaining to aligning the torso in the sagittal plane, you'll identify and address factors at the hip joint and femur that can contribute to altered foot progression angle (FPA) in walking.

You'll learn to execute precisely three musculoskeletal assessment procedures undertaken to quantify hip medial and lateral rotation range of motion (ROM) and femoral torsion.

And under your instructor's supervision, you'll perform strapping applications addressing persistent pelvic retraction, intoed and out-toed gait, and stance-phase hip stability.

Within two weeks following successful completion of the lab sessions and exams, you'll receive a Certified TheraTogs Fitter – Level 2 credential.

PRE-REQUISITES: You must have successfully completed the didactic session of Pediatric In-Toeing and Out-Toeing Management for Neuromotor Training, including having passed the didactic examination. And you must earn your TheraTogs Fitter Level I certification.

During the lab

You'll be expected to correctly ...

👉 Execute and record the findings obtained for three musculoskeletal assessments: hip medial and lateral rotation range of motion and the modified femoral torsion test.

👉 Don a TheraTogs Posture and Torso Alignment system that addresses a postural problem specified by the Instructor.

👉 Apply the following strap applications:

  1. Reduce persistent pelvic retraction.
  2. Assist the stance-phase stabilization afforded by the iliotibial band.
  3. Reduce functioning hip medial rotation.
  4. Reduce functioning hip lateral rotation.

👉 Explain the femoral torsion “Green Zone” precaution regarding the use of hip lateral rotation strapping to align the knee axis on the frontal plane.

Podcast: The Latest TheraTogs Research Study

Billi Cusick sits down with wiredOn podcast host Dr. Mindy Silva to discuss the most recent TheraTogs research.

In this hour-long conversation, they delve into the realm of TheraTogs research and the underlying reasons why past studies have fallen short in fully grasping the profound therapeutic advantages of TheraTogs.

Next, the conversation takes a turn as they unearth the groundbreaking advancements witnessed in TheraTogs’ latest studies. And why these most recent clinical studies, brimming with potential, have aptly captured the effectiveness and desired outcomes when using TheraTogs properly.
