TheraSuit Method vs. Other Rehabilitation Methods

TheraSuit Methode - innovative Rehabilitation im RehaZentrum Malovec

The TheraSuit Method is one of the latest developments in the field of physiotherapy, bringing promising results. Research clearly shows that this method of neurorehabilitation is superior to traditional therapies. We are delighted that TheraSuit is very popular among patients and has attracted significant attention from medical professionals due to its impressive results. TheraSuit has proven to be an effective tool for neurorehabilitation in Germany, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, the USA, and Brazil. Martin and I are proud to have been the first to introduce this method to Austria.

In this blog post, I will discuss the advantages of the TheraSuit therapy and explain how this treatment can help people recovering from neurological and orthopedic disorders or injuries. This recognized TheraSuit method is used worldwide for numerous conditions, helping patients alleviate and heal their ailments.

Positive Effects Include:

  • Improved mobility
  • Increased strength
  • Better balance and coordination
  • Reduced spasticity and pain
  • Enhanced overall quality of life

There are countless success stories from people who have undergone TheraSuit therapy, praising its effectiveness and noting significant progress in their recovery.

For example, our patient Katrin (32), who suffered a traumatic brain injury as a child, had visited numerous therapy centers with only minor improvements. After a 4-week TheraSuit treatment, she can now walk up and down stairs without holding on. Her smile every day is the best reward for us.

Marie (5), who suffers from nemaline myopathy, came to us as a total care patient, constantly wearing her oxygen mask. After regular TheraSuit therapy, she can now wonderfully sit independently, hold her head up, and even perform knee exercises, rarely needing oxygen. And take note, Marie can now operate her electric wheelchair on her own and enjoys her newfound independence. These are incredible results, and we are proud to witness such great successes daily thanks to TheraSuit.

What Makes the TheraSuit Method Special and Successful?

When we say intensive, we mean it literally. A therapy session begins with gymnastic exercises – specifically neuromobilization, followed by a customized 2-3 hour training session, and ends with relaxation techniques like massage or moor packs, which have a relaxing effect on the muscles.

The therapy program combines the most successful therapy methods, including:

  • Therapeutic gymnastics
  • Medical training therapy
  • Movement therapy
  • Sports therapy
  • Posture therapy
  • Thermotherapy
  • Gait therapy
  • Manual therapy

Therapy takes place in the so-called Rocher cage, where patients are secured with special ropes to relieve joints, muscles, or bones and to help them stand upright. With this equipment, a therapist can even work with an adult patient in a coma. One-on-one! An experienced physiotherapist can prepare an active program even for severely affected patients, whether children or adults. Preparing a rehab program for active patients who cooperate during training is not difficult, and there are no limits and no restrictions. But we also feel a responsibility toward other groups. We specialize in neurological, orthopedic, and recently Long-Covid patients, for whom we have developed a special program to help heal the after-effects of Covid-19.

The TheraSuit Suit

Did you know that the TheraSuit Method also includes a special suit? The TheraSuit suit is used as an aid in therapy. Originally developed in aerospace to improve the mobility of astronauts after long stays in space, this suit was adapted by professionals working with children and adults with neurological and orthopedic disorders. The exercises performed in the suit aim to improve movement, balance, and coordination, while also providing resistance and support. It is suitable for people of all ages.

In Summary

As you have learned, the TheraSuit Method incorporates the most successful therapy methods performed in the Rocher cage. To further enhance the therapy effect, the suit is worn by the patient for 45 minutes as part of the rehab program.

So, don’t worry about the necessary treatments. The Malovec team is ready to prepare a tailored rehab program to meet your needs, all in a family-friendly atmosphere.
