"After one intensive session, Skyler began pulling up to the standing
position and pulling up on to her knees as well. Before Ability Plus’
Intensive Program Skyler was only able to sit up in one position due to
her hypotonia.”
With sincere thanks,

| Suit Therapy |
| TheraSuit™, thanks to its construction and improvements
creates a breathable soft dynamic orthotic. TheraSuit major goal is to
improve and change proprioception (pressure from the joints, ligaments,
muscles), reduce patient's pathological reflexes (such as extensor tone
patterns), restore physiological muscle synergies (proper patterns of
movement) and load the entire body with weight (process similar to a
reaction of our muscles to the gravitational forces). All of the above
normalizes vestibulo-proprioceptive input (information arriving to the
vestibular system). The vestibular system is a very important center. It
processes, integrates and sends back all the information that arrives from
muscles, joints, tendons etc. It influences muscle tone, balance and the
position of the body in space. Our highly trained therapist are able to make
a difference in movement, strength and control in your child with the
TheraSuit.
