Letter from the founders
It is amazing how much our world has changed since our first child was born 3
months premature and weighed a little over 2 pounds. She was diagnosed with
Cerebral Palsy-Spastic Diplegia at age 1. After the shock wore
off, we spent an entire year researching every therapy, treatment, drug, herb,
and surgery on the market.
When our baby turned two we decided it was time to add Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy (HBOT) to her current therapy program of physical and occupational
therapy. We packed our bags and off we went on a month long trip. We
noticed dramatic changes in her spasticity after only three days of treatments!
Hyperbaric Healing Institute was created so we could get
our daughter all the hyperbaric oxygen therapy she needed. Who knew having a
child with Cerebral Palsy could have such a positive impact on so many
lives? What a joy it is to go to work everyday. We have had the privilege
of meeting people from all over the country and even a few other countries.
A few years ago we added a physical therapy clinic,
Beyond Therapy, to our
facility. We feel that the combination of HBOT and Intensive Physical
Therapy (Suit Therapy), and Biofeedback/Neurofeedback is the best
program we can offer to those with neurological conditions such as Cerebral
Palsy, Stroke, and Traumatic Brain Injury.
At Hyperbaric Healing Institute our fully trained and certified staff are
dedicated to provided safe, viable hyperbaric treatments to those who may
benefit. Our state-of-the-art walk-in/wheelchair accessible chamber can
treat up to 10 people at a time with comfortable and generous seating. Our
facility provides a family room, kitchen and kids play area.
Sincerely,
David and Lisa Deister CHTs
