Spider Cage Course (2 days intensive course)
The Spider Cage Course provides an in-depth introduction to the Ability Exercise Unit (AEU) and the Universal Exercise Unit (UEU), two essential tools widely used in pediatric physical and occupational therapy.
Throughout this two-day training, participants will learn both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of the Spider Cage system, including how to use it safely and effectively to improve motor function, balance, coordination, strength, and functional independence in children with neurological and developmental disorders.
The course combines theory, live demonstrations, clinical case discussions, and hands-on practice, giving therapists the confidence and practical skills needed to successfully integrate the Spider Cage into their daily clinical practice.
