Universal Cage

Universal Cage Therapy or Spider Cage Therapy is a partial or full suspension in the middle of the cage unit with support maintained through elastic cords. This type of suspension is extremely dynamic and provides just the right amount of support needed.

This allows the patient to support any movement or functional skill virtually in an “independent” fashion! The type of exercises performed in full or partial weight bearing allows the patient to develop a full sense of security.

When using a suspension cage, patients can practice proper gait patterns while isolating and balancing the right muscle groups in each stage.

Our focus

What are the goals?

There are many incredible benefits to the Universal Cage Therapy including:

Improves strength, active range of motion and muscle flexibility.
To isolate any specific muscle group and strengthen it, without the muscle tone (which is usually increased) influencing the movement, allowing the muscle groups to counteract the spastic muscle.
To enhance functional gains such as quality of gait.
To facilitate the development and mastering of functional skills such as sitting, walking, standing, crawling, climbing, jumping, etc).
To improve sensory integration resulting in tremendous gains in balance, coordination and function
To facilitate manual therapy techniques without assistance from others.
For cervical and lumbar Traction in different angles to ensure pain free mobilization.
To improve the ability to maintain an upright position, while minimizing compensation
To decrease musculoskeletal pain. Spider cage core exercises are great to address low back pain in patients with scoliosis. Our scoliosis program is geared towards achieving just enough muscle balance to unload the part of the spine which gets strained during upright functional daily activities.
