Synergy between Hyperbaric therapy and Intensive therapy. 

 

Many children are afforded the advantages of having their PediaSuit or other intensive therapy along with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Each therapy is directed at a  problem in a slightly different way but work together to achieve an end that makes the difference between a good outcome and a great outcome in some children.

 

In many cases, children with brain disorders have brain cells that are "sleeping". they have enough oxygen to live but don't have enough oxygen to actually function like normal brain cells. These cells can't participate in the recovery process.

 

With HBOT, oxygen bathes the brain cells, giving them enough energy to participate in the recovery process. HBOT also improves the blood supply to these nerve cells that are now awake but have no clear direction as what to do.

 

Enter pediatric intensive exercise - an  exercise program that is looking for as many brain cells as possible to improve balance, strength and coordination of a child's muscles. They can make sure of the newly functioning brain cells, directing them in the process of delivering physical, speech and ocupational therapy.

 

Using HBOT and intensive exercise together is a well choreographed match of two programs that work together to maximize a child's success rate during the therapeutic process, giving the child the best therapeutic outcome.
