Therasuit Method Intensive Program – Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital – Florida
What is the Therasuit Method® Intensive Program?
Therasuit Method Intensive Program (sometimes called TMIP) is an intensive individualized therapy program that accelerates functional progress. The program uses the Therasuit® (a soft canvas suit with bungee-like cords attached) and the Universal Exercise Unit (“Spider Cage”) to allow the child to learn new & correct patterns of movement through strengthening and functional skills practice.
The Therasuit Program is ideal for those looking to meet functional goals at an accelerated rate as compared to traditional therapy. Program Overview Therasuit Method Intensive Program is currently offered at our Main Campus and Brandon locations. TheraSuit Method trained occupational therapists and physical therapists use this approach to develop an individualized treatment plan for each child. TMIP includes a three-hour session, five days a week, for three weeks.
