Suit Therapy: How it helped our Daughter with Special Needs

This was one of the first integrative therapies we tried with my daughter called suit therapy. It's actually a type of high intensity physical therapy where the child with special needs or brain damage or whatnot wears a suit. And the suit actually has these kind of bungee cords built into it. This technology actually came from the 1960s and 70s from Eastern Europe. It was used in cosmonauts to help them maintain muscle mass when they're in outer space in a low gravity environment, and actually transition to elite athletes and eventually to people with special needs. And so we use this, my daughter, for several years. And what happens when you do it, it actually gives you tension on your muscles, and you actually strengthen your muscles, even breast, with these tension on these cords. And so you can see how her suit has those little white bands going up and down sometimes. She'd actually been hooked up in this thing called a cage. And it's almost like a thing that kind of attached her all around. And when she'd do therapy to give her extra strength. This is just one example of how we've never stopped fighting for our daughter. We don't give up, ever, ever, ever. And this is one of the many things that we've learned. Just don't give up your health. Never stop, because there's something out there that can help you. And to this date, we haven't given up on Anna. We don't give up on our patients in the clinic as well. We just keep on fighting for them and figuring out new things.
