Thera-Glide (Available in Wood and Decorative Metal)
Thera-Glide Safety Gliders help reduce falls with a patented (Patent: US 6406095B1, CAN 2323398) automatic-locking system that prevents rocking while entering or exiting the chair. Once safely seated, the lock disengages, permitting the user to experience a soothing gliding motion. When exiting the Thera-Glide, the lock automatically engages again for a steady, safe egress. Now anyone can enjoy the benefits of a rocking chair without the risks.  Whether in a home, assisted living, nursing facility or hospital labor and delivery, the Thera-Glide is a meaningful addition to a Fall Prevention Program.

Gliding and Rocking can be an important adjunct to nursing home therapy programs.  According to clinical studies, regular use of a rocking chair by people losing their autonomy improves balance to reduce falls, enhances cardio-vascular function, reduces muscular pain and helps alleviate anxiety and depression. WATSON, NANCY M., PhD, RN: Rocking chair therapy for dementia patients: Its effect on psychosocial well being and balance. November/December 1998; 13(6): 296-308.
