Northwest Futures Unlimited is an outpatient physical therapy clinic located in Spokane, WA. The Futures Unlimited clinics use a unique treatment called "chronologically controlled developmental therapy," emphasizing sensory integration in a controlled environment. The program basis is that stimulation of lower levels of function in the chronological order and in a similar environment that they were originally learned will help develop automatic motor patterns.
The program at Futures Unlimited is ten days of six to seven hours of daily therapy, with treatment modalities including
- Fetal rest in a sling apparatus.
- Patterning.
- Sensory integration.
- Hydrotherapy.
- Massage.
