The clinic has been especially successful treating PPS symptoms and claims that 85 percent of the patients have had some functional improvement. In some cases, progress has been profound, including individuals who no longer need ventilators or scooters. Even when improvements are modest, Snapp notes that they can result in greatly increased independence and quality of living. CCDT consists of a number of physical therapies performed in a specific, defined sequence. These include, but are not limited to, pressure stimulation, hydrotherapy, light-touch massage, movements on an oil table, and rest in a sling apparatus that mimics a fetal position.
People carry out the program twice daily for two-weeks.
To further build on progress made at the clinic, a home-therapy program is designed that does not require technical expertise. Periodic visits to the clinic will further augment the progress. You receive encouragement to let go of any conscious effort to control the situation. To get a better feel for the process, I subjected myself to some of the program. The hydrotherapy was especially interesting.
