says Compression Garments for Trunk Support

We use a couple of different compression garments for trunk support for our son
1. SPIO - You can find more about it from http://www.spioworks.com/
We've tried the SPIO vest and the full arm suit with pants.
They are great when we do therapy.

In addition to the SPIO I sometimes warp his trunk from my old maternity belt (this thing is made of stretchy material, its soft and has velcro) This also helps provide additional support while i make him sit on a bench.

2. Hip Helpers - Try http://www.hiphelpers.com/
Make sure you got the perfect size otherwise it does not help.
My son always had his legs wide spread and after using hip helpers for a week or so he slowly stopped spreading his legs. Its also good to use when making the child sit with his/her legs together.

3. Theratogs - I've heard good reviews of these therapist designed compression garments from http://www.theratogs.com/
I've never tried this with my son because they are very expensive.

Also here is a very informative link from Complex Child on Trunk support options with images of almost all products.
