Post Polio Syndrome
It has become obvious that a significant percentage of nervous system dysfunctions result from and apparent "deprogramming" of specific portions of the central
nervous system memory. This appears to be due to a reaction to either physical or chemical insult.
"Deprogramming" is very like the reaction when a computer's power plus is inadvertently disconnected. The machine and its circuits remain intact and undamaged, but
the program is lost. For the program to be reinstated, it must be returned to the proper file from which it was lost, or it cannot be retrieved or accessed.
It is possible, indeed likely, that a considerable amount of paralysis from polio is the result of this type mechanism. It is also likely that continued stress and chronic
severe fatigue produces similar trauma, causing post polio syndrome.
If this is true, there is a possible avenue to reinstate function, at least to the segments that were functioning before the onset of post polio syndrome.
Our Post Polio Syndrome therapy addresses the nervous system directly in order to recover function that was available after recovery from acute polio and before the
affects of PPS.
Age or length of time since the onset of PPS does not seem to be a major factor in the ability to recover lost function. The most difficult problems are usually habitual in
day to day activities that have resulted from progressive weakness.
The treatment regime is based on the concept that multiple factors affect progressive pain and weakness. To be truly effective, it appears necessary to address all
these factors simultaneously.
Present indications are that the treatment format may stop / slow the progression of post polio syndrome and simultaneously improves strength, range of motion,
endurance and comfort in a high percentage of patients with post polio syndrome.

Client Testimonials: ·Prior to therapy, I had a strength of 65 pounds capability on a hand strength measuring device. Three weeks after Snapp therapy the same testing device recorded 95 pounds. The registered physical therapist who administered both tests seemed quite impressed (I believe she used the word "astonishing"). Read More....J. Reincke's testimonial As I write this, I am in Columbus, MS. Today was day 8 in a 10-day treatment program at Futures Unlimited. My goal for my fourth treatment here is increased endurance, strength and relief from tight muscles. And, Ed and I have been discussing my plans to downhill snow ski this winter! Pretty remarkable for someone who, a mere two years ago, spent 12 hours a day on a Bi-pap, wore a full-torso back brace, and used my scooter to ride from one side of the room to another Read More about Sharman's Journey To read more from early PPS clients of Futures Unlimited. |
