Space Technology has lead to an idea that's improving balance and posture for people with CP.
The TheraSuit Method® is a holistic approach to treatment for neurological disorders such as Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Delays, and Traumatic Brain Injuries.
The 'suit' includes a vest, shorts, kneepads, and shoes. The pieces are laced together with bungee-type cords which are adjustable. These cords apply varying degrees of tension to a child’s different muscle groups. By increasing the tension in one area, a child's muscles are given the strength necessary to perform certain exercises.
In many ways, suit therapy is much like working out at the gym with weights.
