Aquafit Body Sling For Larger-Sized Adults

This  Body Sling has generous proportions and is suitable for larger- sized adults. It is very stable, slightly longer than the standard adult sized Body Sling (9875A), has a wider sling and handles for greater manoeuvrability.

A great tool for aquatic therapists working with larger swimmers with a more severe disability. The swimmer lays supine within the body sling while suspended in the water. This enables the therapist to carry out stretches and active exercises on their lower limbs. Torpedo exercises – a great favourite – are an excellent leg strengthening exercise requiring the swimmer to push themselves off the pool wall.

Benefit of handles on Body Sling

Handles on this Body Sling allow the swimmer to be moved around the pool while inside the sling.

The larger sized Body Slings (SKU 9875HAXL and SKU 9875HAB)  have two sets of handles -one pair is used by the support person to hold onto the sling under the swimmer’s shoulder blades, preventing the support worker  from getting hand or arm fatigue. The other pair  may be used by the therapist during passive and active exercises.

Made from a polyester weave fabric and polystyrene beads.
