Optimise the use of your playground equipment - for Therapy

In 2009, Rustics Jungle Gyms installed a jungle gym at Active Eyes in East London.

The centre uses a movement program and visual training program to assist learners with learning difficulties and as well as learners’ general academic and sporting performance.

The aim was to encourage predominantly weight bearing activities to improve upper body strength and core muscle development in learners.

According to Loryn Nel, “The activities that can be done on the Eye-X encourage focus and concentration as well as giving the learners a full strength ‘workout’. The improvement in body strength encourages good posture for writing and reading and the twisty monkey bars encourage midline crossing.
