SOS System


One of the greatest predictors for success with balance and vestibular therapy is centered around how much challenge a patient can be provided. Ask any therapist - using a gait belt is NOT a fool proof technique and that degree of challenge is restricted based on fear of the patient falling. Not only does the therapist restrict challenge based on fear, but the patient also restricts their participation due to an overwhelming sense of fear of falling.
At FYZICAL Vermillion, we have changed the way balance and vestibular therapy is performed. Our clinic offers a Safety Overhead Support (SOS) System, which is an overhead harness support system consisting of an overhead track and moveable trolly that allows the patient, while secured in a simple body harness, the freedom to ambulate and perform functional types of activities and fall with minimal risk of injury.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
