LAPMAT SMALL

Elevate your training, recovery, and independence with the LAPMAT, designed to safeguard the legs of wheelchair athletes, geriatric users, individuals with obesity, and anyone starting their fitness or rehabilitation journey from a seated position.

Engineered with input from the fittest adaptive athletes , this revolutionary tool ensures you train harder, recover stronger, and unlock your full potential, whether you’re in a wheelchair, managing mobility challenges, or building strength from a chair.

Secure the LAPMAT to your chair or legs for maximum protection and goals like functional movement, safety, and confidence, keeping you active longer and ready to thrive.

The Challenge for Seated Individuals:

Dropping a barbell or weight during a lift can deliver a jarring shock, even with lighter loads, posing a significant risk for wheelchair athletes, geriatric users, individuals with obesity, or anyone starting from a seated position, such as those with neurological impairments, paralysis, or limited mobility.

We experienced this firsthand: dropping a 15 kg barbell from just 20cm onto our laps in a seated position revealed a force so intense, it demanded a solution.

Many were relying on makeshift protections like floor mats or cushions, but these lacked the precision, safety, and support OT/PT clinicians and fitness enthusiasts need for effective rehabilitation and injury prevention.

Innovative Design That Delivers for Every Seated Need:

Shock-Absorbing Protection: The top layer features custom foam to absorb impact, while the bottom foam shields legs from harm, critical for geriatric users, individuals with obesity, and OT/PT patients rebuilding strength or managing joint sensitivity. A rigid core between the foams diffuses weight across your lap, minimizing injury risk and supporting safe functional movement for all seated individuals.

Dual-Purpose Versatility: Flip the LAPMAT over to harness the bottom foam’s bounce for wall ball workouts or seated mobility exercises, ideal for OT/PT protocols targeting coordination and endurance, as well as adaptive or beginner fitness routines.

Skin-Safe Straps: Specially designed straps prevent abrasions and protect skin integrity, aligning with OT’s focus on skin health and PT’s emphasis on mobility without compromising safety, especially for users with paralysis.

Compact Precision: The LAPMAT measures 36cm wide and 23cm from front to beltline, fitting neatly within the span of your femur (upper leg bone) for easier barbell clearance or weight management in a chair, enhancing OT/PT goals of functional independence and adaptive performance for all seated users.

How to Use the Straps :

Place the LAPMAT across your lap, aligning the front edge with your thighs and the top near your beltline, ensuring alignment with OT/PT goals for posture and functional positioning, whether you’re a wheelchair user, geriatric patient, or beginner.

Secure the skin-safe straps around your chair or legs, adjusting for a snug, comfortable fit that won’t interfere with movements, ideal for PT exercises, adaptive CrossFit routines, or gentle seated workouts.

Test the fit during a light lift, therapy exercise, or seated workout to ensure it stays in place and you are READY TO GOO!

Empower Your Journey: Whether you’re a wheelchair CrossFit champion pushing boundaries, a geriatric user seeking safety and strength, an individual with obesity starting a fitness path, or anyone beginning from a seated position, the LAPMAT will be your ultimate ally, jour best friend in fitness jurney.
