Is this compatible with other therapies my child is already doing?

ABR program is an exercise program for the myofascia system. It therefore works with all therapies that the families are doing. However, we advise the parents to evaluate if the therapies that they are doing or consider doing helps them to increase or decrease the energy available for the child’s growth and development. Any therapy that contributes positively to the growth and development is encouraged. Any negative contribution constitutes additional cost that the child has to bear. Please feel free to find out more from the center.

 

How old does my child have to be to be able to start?

You can start the Thrive & Flourish program with your child at any age. We have good success with individual who are 25 years old and above. However, the earlier you start, the higher the plasticity and the child is better able to capitalize on their gains in growth and development for future investment.

 

Is my child too old to start?

No. ABR techniques have achieved successful results on adults – however, it is likely to take longer to achieve results the larger and older the recipient is.

 

Can I train family and friends to deliver the therapy too?

You are encouraged to bring other family members or friends who are involved with the delivery of the home program to the training sessions so they too can learn the techniques. It is best that they are supervised by our experienced staff to ensure that they can perform the techniques in the most efficient and effective manner. Whilst incorrect applications will not harm the recipient, results however, will not be achieved in the most efficient manner.

The maximum number of participants per family is 3under the Premier Thrive & Flourish Program and 2 under the Modular Thrive & Flourish Program.
