Build Daily Living Skills with Peggs Handy Line®: A Practical Tool for Allied Health Professionals

As occupational therapists and allied health professionals, your goal is simple but powerful: help clients live more independently. One often-overlooked but highly effective way to do this is by integrating practical tools into therapy that align with real-life routines. The Peggs Handy Line® is one of those tools—designed in Australia to support skill development through meaningful daily tasks like hanging laundry.

Why the Peggs Handy Line® Works in Therapy

For clients recovering from injury, managing disability, or developing new routines, everyday tasks can become valuable opportunities for growth. Hanging laundry on a Handy Line® requires a combination of motor planning, grip strength, balance, and coordination—skills many of your clients are actively working to improve.

The Peggs Handy Line® range is portable, and built with lightweight materials, making it ideal for a wide range of mobility and strength levels. It encourages participation without the physical strain often associated with traditional outdoor lines or bulky indoor drying racks.

Build Confidence, Not Just Capacity

Occupational therapy is about more than just physical recovery—it’s about helping clients feel capable in their own environments. The act of completing a task like laundry can have a strong psychological impact. Clients feel more in control, more productive, and more confident in their ability to handle everyday life.

By recommending a Peggs Handy Line®, you’re giving your clients the chance to experience success in a task that might otherwise feel overwhelming. For some, it’s the first step toward re-engaging with other domestic tasks or community participation.

Designed for Allied Health Goals

Peggs Handy Line® is purpose-built with therapeutic use in mind:

• Accessible Design: Suitable for clients in wheelchairs or with limited reach.

• Safe and Stable: Built to remain steady during use, reducing fall risk.

• Encourages Fine Motor Practice: Pegging clothes helps build dexterity and hand strength.

• Portable and Indoor-Friendly: Perfect for home programs and flexible routines.

Whether you’re working with NDIS participants, aged care clients, or post-op rehab patients, the Handy Line® can become a functional part of therapy that doesn’t feel like therapy.

Support Skill-Building at Home

Functional gains made in the clinic are only as valuable as a client’s ability to apply them at home. The Peggs Handy Line® bridges that gap. It becomes a practical extension of therapy in real-world settings, supporting habit formation and daily living skill retention.
