A new positioning experience to aid physical development and encourage good activities
NESSIE has been designed and developed by SOS to provide a new positioning experience to enable parents, therapists and carers working with disabled children to encourage proactive activities to assist physical development.
Nessie provides a novel approach to positioning during therapy simplifying the practicalities around such activities for therapists, parents and carers.
Encouraging the key postural movements during play
The established range of primary positions associated with physical play therapy can all be achieved using NESSIE. This can include ‘tummy time’, sitting, side sitting and side lying.
The unique design means there is no need for any other additional supports, so using NESSIE is easy for the therapist when moving from session to session.
Parents, carers and therapists will find NESSIE is easily transported around, so you can always have it available at any time. The covers are removable and washable.
The unique contours of NESSIE allow safe secure positioning.
