Dorsal or supine position, back-floating, horizontal support adaptive life vest for people with multiple disabilities. Very popular for individuals limited by cerebral palsy. Also ideally suited for asymmetrical body conditions, such as scoliosis and hemiplegia. Compensates for pressure from one side, as the fetal position does. Safe and secure in the case of losing consciousness. The pillow float withstands both powerful jerky head movements and repeated arching of the back in case of an epileptic seizure. The water supports the body, while the PFD stabilizes.

Life Vests specially designed for inclusive rehabilitation program's Physical Therapy, Aquatic Therapy, and Hydrotherapy.

“This was the VERY FIRST time in my life that I could swim using both my arms and legs simultaneously. If on my own, I usually swim with mostly my arms and then feel as if I have swallowed so much water that I could have drunk a whole entire lake). So it has me so excited!” 
     - Jennifer Zubko, London, Ontario
