| TheraSuit |
|
Our children face many obstacles in life. One of the many is the inability to know where their body is in time and space. Gravity is not their friend! Due to neuromuscular and sensory disorders, proper positioning is always a problem.
|
|
TheraSuit (a soft dynamic proprioceptive orthosis) is crucial in their ability to gain a sense of what proper body alignment really is. Once this has been established, the connection of the sensory system and muscles to the brain, combined with intensive therapy, brings your child to a new level of understanding and achievement.

| Spider Therapy |
|
The Spider Technique is an amazing and enjoyable way to get our children in proper positioning. This way the workout is more effective. The sense of antigravity in the Spider gives the child ability to move and creates an environment that the child enjoys while working key muscles. It also provides vestibular input to their body. Highly skilled therapists create an individual program for each child's specific needs.

Using the Universal Exercise Unit with the belts and bungies, the child experiences a point of balance and is able to perform basic activities that they were otherwise unable to accomplish on their own.

This is an advanced piece of therapy equipment. It builds strength with a resistance and weight training program in an anti-gravity environment that allows our children to advance in a shorter amount of time. Highly skilled therapists create an individual program for each child's specific needs.
