When a person experiences a traumatic or toxic injury, foundational sensory - motor information can be erased or damaged, interfering with normal function. The central nervous system then regresses to earlier patterns of prenatal function and posture that have typically been recognized as spasticity and abnormal coordination.

Using environmental stimulation, CCDT works to first rebuild the earliest levels of functions, especially those developed in the prenatal period, before focusing on progressively higher levels of function.

This approach includes sensory factors, environmental controls and movement activities in a closely controlled sequence to re-establish the background necessary to regain progressive control of functional skills.

CCDT enhances standard therapy modalities by incorporating sensory information from prenatal time periods with known developmental functions to achieve greater treatment outcomes.

Treatment Methods

The treatment approach is directed toward the stimulation of the nervous system to allow the body to define its own dysfunction, in-coordination, developmental failure and to make its own corrections.

The prime modalities include:

•  open flotation tank ,
• prenatal and neonatal sensory stimulation,
• prenatal sensory massage
• passive/active sensory motor movements based on prenatal and neonatal development.

Each modality is performed in a strictly controlled sequence.

 Special sequences of environmental controls provide the relaxation, the stimulus and the focal enhancement to stimulate the nervous system to define, and correct the body's own dysfunctions.

Our programs are designed to help retrieve and reprogram lost sensory motor information, which is in our genetic code. We design this program based on the developmental level of each client's individual function, that means your program is tailored just for you!
