Practical support for more comfortable everyday routines
A lightweight, flexible, hand-held percussion-style cup intended for gentle back-tapping routines when these have been recommended by an appropriate professional. The wide silicone surface is easier to hold than cupping the bare hand and offers a consistent contact area for a caregiver.

How to use it: step-by-step
First ask a qualified clinician whether percussion is appropriate for this individual's health and care needs.

Use only the gentle technique, area and duration demonstrated by the clinician.
Stop immediately if the person feels pain, breathlessness or distress.
Kinmilo Together Time: real ways to participate
For older adults who become anxious during personal care, begin by showing and letting them feel the soft cup. Explain what you are doing and agree on a simple stop signal. Keep instructions short, check comfort after every few taps, and invite the person to choose whether to continue.
