TheraSuit therapy is an intensive physiotherapeutic treatment supported by wearing a special suit. This suit provides support to the body to improve muscle strength, coordination, and balance. While traditional physiotherapy often focuses on passive exercises and massages, TheraSuit therapy aims to actively train the body to make it stronger and more independent.
The TheraSuit suit is a specially designed full-body suit that helps to optimize training of muscle strength, coordination, and balance. The suit has been specifically designed for people with neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, brain injuries, and strokes.
The suit is made of elastic material and consists of several parts that fit tightly against the body. Its fit provides pressure distribution on the entire body, creating a kind of “second skin.” This support allows patients to move better and activate their muscles in a new way, improving coordination and balance.
Characteristics of the TheraSuit Suit
One of the unique characteristics of the TheraSuit suit is its ability to improve fine motor skills and target specific muscle training. Therapy conducted with the TheraSuit suit is highly intensive, focusing on active exercises that help patients improve their movement patterns. This suit can contribute to achieving faster rehabilitation, leading to an improved quality of life.
The TheraSuit suit can be applied to both children and adults, serving as an excellent complement to traditional physiotherapy. It can boost patients’ self-esteem and confidence in their abilities while helping them achieve their physical goals. Overall, the TheraSuit suit offers a unique therapeutic option for individuals with neuromuscular disorders seeking an effective and innovative way to enhance their physical capabilities.
