Intense therapy is a three-week session three hours a day five days a week. This amount of therapy allows the child to strengthen many areas in a short amount of time. This type of strenghtening helps to increase functions and is much more successful than traditional therapies which are only done once a week or biweekly. Our intense therapy programs are done by licensed physical therapists that have been certified in intense therapy and the utilization of the therasuit. Certification is obtained through training by Therasuit, LLC.  Cost of 3 week program is $5500.00. A deposit of $1000.00 is due at the time of reservation. The remaining balance is paid on first day of session.

An evaluation must be completed to participate in intense physical therapy. The evaluation will be on the first day of therapy as part of the treatment price. 

If you are wanting to do an evaluation to just see if you child is a candidate for intense therapy and/or to gain information for a possible strengthening or intense therapy program, the evaluation cost is $175.00. The evaluation includes one hour physical therapist  hands-on, gathering of history, written report with stated goals/treatment plan; and videotaping. The evaluation cost is included in the intense therapy costs.

Fitness programs are to provide exercise programs for children of all needs. Typical children are provided with overwhelming opportunities to participate in various programs. We would like to offer these opportunities for children with special needs.  Therapy does not have to be done in a clinical setting. It can be done with friends, and in a park! We offer karate, yoga, and a group exercise program. Family members and siblings are welcome to join in with the fun.

Strengthening classes will be offered in ten week sessions. Why ten weeks? Research shows that exercise/strengthening done 3x/week for 6 weeks results in no changes. Exercise/Strengthening done 3x/week for 8 weeks results in minimal changes. Yet exercise/strengthening done 3x/week for 10 weeks results in measurable changes that were maintained for six months.  (Debbie Thorpe, PT, PhD, PCS UNC Center for Human Movement Science)

Strengthening classes cam be done by a Physical Therapist 1:1. The therapist will develop the program and work towards specific goals. Cost for this strengthening program is: $3300.00 ($110/hr rate).

Individualized strengthening programs can also be done by a certified strength training instructor under the supervision/monitoring of a therapist (that does not necessarily mean the therapist will be on site) as a maintanence program. Maintanence programs are typically done 1-2x/week. Cost for these programs are $55/hr. Classes would be paid for by session so for example:  a 6 week maintance program 1x/week would be $330.00. 

Not sure if your child is a candidate for intense therapy or strength training? Therapist evaluations can be done to give you more information and a thorough 'pre-treatment' evaluation. Upon this evaluation, the therapist will document all her findings, and conduct video-taping. Therapist evaluations are required to begin a strengthening program.  Evaluation cost: $175.00.  Post-evaluations can be done, as well, to document, and video-tape the child after completion of the intense therapy and/or strength training fior the same cost.
