Universal Exercise Unit (UEU)

Universal Exercise Unit
(The “Spider Cage”)

Freedom to move safely, independently, and with support.

The Universal Exercise Unit (UEU), often called the “spider cage,” uses a system of bungees and a support harness to help children perform exercises they wouldn’t be able to do on their own. It allows for high repetition, full-body engagement, and safe exploration of new movement.

Benefits of the UEU:

Builds core and limb strength

Improves coordination and motor planning

Promotes independence in movement

Builds confidence through safe challenge

HEROES Physical Therapy is one of the only clinics in the region offering this equipment.
