Why Use TheraSuit™ Therapy?
When considering alternative therapy options for your child, you want to make sure that your child enjoys the activity as well as benefit from the time she spends exercising. Suit therapy fits both those requirements.
Using the TheraSuit™ to improve your child’s fine and gross motor skills is a natural and proven holistic approach to healing. With the gentle realigning of her body, her muscle tone and sensory and nervous systems drastically improve. This is done by establishing new, correct, and functional patterns of body movement.
The TheraSuit™ was adapted by Izabela and Richard Koscielny, two physical therapists who had extensive backgrounds working with children. Also parents to a child with cerebral palsy, the couple was motivated and inspired to develop an exercise therapy that was kid friendly in every way.
With five years of experience helping hundreds of kids around the world, the TheraSuit™ is proven to be a safe and highly effective alternative therapy. TheraSuit™ is also the only therapy suit in the United States registered with the FDA. It meets all requirements and regulations and received the “Safe for Children” Certificate and CE Mark in the European Union.
Other Ways the Therasuit™ is Helping Children Around the World
TheraSuit™ is proven to benefit children with all types of cerebral palsy as well as children with:
- Development delays
- Traumatic brain injury
- Stroke
With the use of suit therapy, children around the world have shown remarkable improvements in every day functioning. Because TheraSuit™ aligns your child’s body to its correct position, she can build her muscle strength and improve her coordination. Once she has mastered these tasks, playing games, dressing herself, and other day-to-day functions become much easier.
Over time, TheraSuit™ is shown to benefit children in the following ways:
- Retrains central nervous system.
- Provides external stabilization.
- Normalizes muscle tone.
- Aligns body to as normal a position as possible.
- Normalizes (corrects) gait pattern.
- Provides tactile stimulation.
- Improves balance and coordination.
- Increases controlled movements in ataxia and athetosis.
- Improves body and spatial awareness.
- Promotes development of both fine and gross motor skills.
- Improves bone density.
- Helps improve hip alignment through vertical loading over the hip joint.
The Therasuit™ alternative can help your child in many ways. Yet even if your child realizes improvement in just one of the above areas, imagine the huge impact it would have on her total quality of life.
“Can a “Space Suit” Really Help My Child?”
It’s normal and healthy to be skeptical about any therapy or exercise program that you are not familiar with. Be reassured that TheraSuit™ has undergone extensive testing with phenomenal results.
Izabela Koscienlny P.T. and Richard Koscienlny P.T. conducted a 10 month study tracking the progress of 20 children. The results determined that:
- 100% of the children in the study improved their range of motion.
- 100% improved their strength.
- 90% learned to roll independently.
- 75% learned to sit without assistance.
- 62% improved balance.
- 64% improved movement control.
- 56% improved coordination.
In this same study, some children even learned to crawl, stand independently, and walk with assisting devices. Some kids even learned how to walk by themselves.
Naturally, as with any therapy, drug, or treatment, your child’s results may vary. However, with impressive results like these, your child deserves the chance to see if TheraSuit™ will work for him. The sense of normalcy and freedom he will gain is priceless.

There’s only one way to find out for sure if your doctor and medical staff did everything they could have done to keep your baby from developing cerebral palsy in the first place. If your doctor failed you and your baby in any way, then you might be entitled to financial help.
