A suspension therapy apparatus features a hammock formed from a rectangular textile modified at its long edges with a first and second plurality of attachment loops. The hammock suspends from a support with suspension hardware that permits the hammock to swing back and forth and rotate 360 degrees. One or more safety straps weave through and removably attach to one or more loops among the pluralities of attachment loops on the textile according to specified patterns to accommodate patients who wish to sit or lay in the hammock and to prevent patients from falling or becoming entangled in the straps. Additional optional features include a pulley system that allows a therapist to raise and lower the hammock as needed, an integrated or removable seat, and anchor points for securing the hammock with ties to fixed points on the ground or frame.
