Suspended from a properly installed ceiling bolt , Airwalker's® unique design of heavy, 9-ounce, 60" long by 43" wide stretch fabric provides the feeling of being airborn and deeply held at the same time. The cocoon-like design provides a total body pressure that not only feels good, but builds muscular strength, coordination and balance. Being suspended creates a heightened relationship to gravity, which stimulates the vestibular system responsible for balance and coordination. Children may be totally enwrapped, laid out flat, sitting, standing, or with another adult or child inside.
Airwalker® Swing includes:
Airwalker® Provides Sensory Stimulation:
1.Tactile/ Whole body, deep pressure (enhances dopamine receptors in the brain that results in better focus, motivation and impulse control ); 2.Proprioception/ Muscles, tendons, ligaments moving against resistance (fires seratonin receptors which effects a more positive mood and ability to experience pleasure); 3.Novel Activity....(fires norepinephrine production which promotes sustained attention) Children may be totally enwrapped, laid out flat, sitting, standing, or with another adult or child inside. The height of Airwalker® in relation to the floor is also adjustable creating countless motor planning activities; 4.Vestibular, Sensory/Motor and Sensation Slow movement activities in an Airwalker® are calming and organizing for the nervous system. Well-modulated vestibular activity is very important for maintaining a calm, alert state. An under active vestibular system contributes to hyperactivity and distractibility.
