At Ocean Kids Health, we are the Victorian supplier of therapy garments – SPIO and Theratogs. We prescribe and supply these specialised therapy garments at both of our clinics. Please check out our blog to read more!

We also work with our colleagues at Korthotics (for DMO suits) and Second Skin to assist children who require specifically tailored garments to find the appropriate solution. This includes referrals, measurements and assisting with NDIS funding applications.

Our Paediatric Physiotherapists and Paediatric Exercise Physiologists have specific training in the prescription and use of these garments. During therapy sessions, your child’s therapist may try a wearable orthotic garment with your child to improve their posture, stability and movement abilities.​ These garments also have secondary benefits, including improving your child’s attention and concentration through the deep feedback provided to their nervous system while wearing these garments.
