Tumble Forms 2 Barrel Crawl/Roll Trainer
When helping children to develop important motor skills that will help them walk and move, it's important to find a safe and fun method. The Tumble Forms 2 Barrel Crawl/Roll Trainer can be used by a therapist to gently encourage children to roll and crawl, offering a versatile range of fun and effective uses with a multitude of benefits to the child.
Rhythmic Exercise
By gently rocking the Tumble Forms 2 Barrel Crawl/Roll Trainer, a therapist or caregiver can produce a rhythmic movement experience for the child. In time, the child can learn to shift his or her weight in order to roll the barrel themselves, providing an excellent opportunity for movement development.
Increase Muscle Tone and Balance
Since the rhythmic movement of the Barrel Crawl/Roll Trainer stimulates muscles that the child may not otherwise use, it allows them to develop and tone muscles that are crucial to normal movement. The reactions the child must produce during these movements not only tones their muscles, but also teaches the child to balance and increases their sense of physical intelligence.
Safe and Sturdy
When teaching a child to move, safety is crucial, as they often are unable to protect themselves from injury. That's why this trainer is made with a durable foam construction, reducing any shocks resulting from impact with the ground or sudden movements. A strong core of the barrel maintains the perfectly round shape, contributing to even, consistent rolls.
Therapy Preparation
Many forms of movement and rehabilitative therapy require a certain base level of balance and co-ordination, which this trainer is an excellent tool for building. For example, equestrian therapy requires that the child or patient can stabilise their body to respond to unexpected movements. When rolling on the Tumble Forms 2 Barrel Crawl/Roll Trainer, the child learns lateral movement and balance skills, allowing them to safely enter more involved forms of therapy.
