Q. Can Thera Togs be worn all day, or is there a time limit for wearing?
A. There is no generic or standard wearing schedule; it depends on what the clinician and the caregivers determine is the best for the patient, and what's most realistic for the patient's circumstances. For most wearers, it's best to start slow, wearing only the garments for a week or so, and then adding strapping if/as needed. (In many cases, TheraTogs cause the patient to use muscles that have been underused, so fatigue is to be expected.)

Q. What does it mean that Thera Togs are a Class I medical device?
A. TheraTogs have been registered with the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Administration as a Class I Medical Device. Thera Togs systems are intended to be applied under the supervision of a licensed, healthcare practitioner.
Class I devices are subject to the least regulatory control because they present a minimum of potential for harm to the user. TheraTogs were determined to be a Class I device because they are worn on the outside of the body and have negligible potential for harm.

Q. How does the PTA System improve posture?
A. TheraTogs PTA works by using elasticized, body-worn garments and strapping to provide gentle, continuous compression and corrective forces. This feedback helps the wearer build muscle memory for better postural control over time — all while they go about daily activities.

Q. How should I care for and clean the PTA System?
A. The TheraTogs PTA System is machine-washable. For best results, wash the garments in cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry them. Do not use heat to dry the garments, as this can damage the material. The elastic strapping should be hand-washed to maintain its elasticity.

Q. Can the TheraTogs PTA System be worn under clothing?
A. Absolutely. The TheraTogs PTA garments are made of soft, breathable, and low-profile materials that are comfortable enough for all-day wear and discreetly fit under regular clothing, making it suitable for home, school, or therapy settings.
