I Need Help Lying On My Side...

The sidelying position is often referred to as the “rest position” since it eliminates the pull of gravity on the muscles of the body. The weight bearing side should be monitored for redness and skin breakdown.

For children with certain clinical diagnoses, Side Lying Positioners may be beneficial to help them achieve their goals. Always check with your child's therapists before using equipment to make sure that it is appropriate. Some of the clinical diagnoses that might include but are not limited to the following: Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, Gross Motor Delay, Spina Bifida, and Traumatic Brain Injury.
