Futures Unlimited The Future of Health & Rehabilitation
The Beginning Our therapies are derived from the unique and wonderful mind of Edward A. Snapp jr. Ed was frustrated with traditional methods years before there was any “Alternative” available in the mainstream thoughts. His efforts with his patients led him to understand that there was something missing from the modalities of Physical Therapy. He began to seek answers.
Patterning Ed met two gentlemen by the names of Doman & Delicato. These men were using crawling patterns that babies use to learn to walk to enhance coordination, perception, learning and function in children & adults with disabilities. Ed knew then that there was so much more possible. If these functional patterns contained useful & updateable information, then pre-natal patterns would contain mass amounts of usable data as well.
CCDT Chronologically Controlled Developmental Therapy was created when Ed realized that he was seeing similar developmental patterns in his patients that experienced muscle spasticity & contractures. He noted that it appeared that these patients were trying to curl up into the fetal position. He placed them in a tight bundle and lay next to them in the dark. To his surprise they were less spastic after he removed them from this posture. Being in a dark, warm space in the fetal position allowed this phenomenal response to occur to the nervous system. This was in 1960’s
Building A Foundation Through his steady and patient research of his own clients, Ed Snapp was capable of sequencing the patterns of spasticity that he noted of various clients. Within this sequence he noted muscle responses, reflexes and muscle failures that were consistent with prenatal developmental function. This is a major key to success in recovery for patients. We know how!
Major Modalities Used Massage Therapy Hydro Therapy Sensory Integration Q: If we are utilizing concepts already available, then how is this different? A: Our methods are specifically matched to the sequence of developmental trauma that each individual experiences.
What else is different? Controlled and specific environment. Passive techniques that are soothing. The client can sleep throughout the day. There is no mental pressure on the client. Function returns without practice. Individuals relax during the session. Clients may look forward to their return.

Realizing the Possibilities Functional Adult Developing Fetus Genetic Information Traumatic Disability Developmental Disability Neurological Disability
When You See It You Will Understand Any Neurological Disability that is not a product of severe nervous tissue damage may be enhanced or corrected with the methods based on this theory. Developmental, Neurological and Traumatic Disabilities all fall into this category. God has given us the recovery complex that allows us to be updated like a computer, using Genetic Memory, that is stored in the DNA. Each Person has ability to recover from trauma.
