Quality Life Discoveries (Special People's Hub) is the country's first integrative
rehabilitation center that offers holistic services for the well and differently-abled. Quality Life
Discoveries provides access to the most effective programs only available abroad, that can be taken
as individual or adjuncts to conventional therapy. Our comprehensive assessment and referral
system to skilled medical and allied health professionals will help you determine the best ways of
caring for your child and promoting a nurturing environment. We only use state-of-the-art facilities
to ensure that your child receives quality treatment services that are products of intensive research
in the U.S. and Europe.

Early Intervention Program (EIP)

Early Intervention Programs are designed to enhance the development of infants and toddlers (birth
to 3 years of age), who are at-risk of delay in acquiring developmental milestones, due to the
presence of conditions such as:
prematurity
an established medical condition (Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida)
a physical disability (visual, hearing)
sensory processing disorder
a communication, social, emotional, or self-help deficit

These programs provide opportunities for nurturing and playful interactions which promote
cognitive, speech, language, motor, social, and self-help skills. Our Early Intervention Program
specifically includes PT, OT, Oral-Motor Therapy, and a reading program based on the teachings of
Glenn Doman. We believe that for any therapy to work effectively, it must be done with the
appropriate intensity, frequency, and duration in addressing the needs of the young client. We
therefore provide home exercise to reinforce and to hasten habilitation for recovery. Parent and
family commitment is therefore necessary in successfully addressing the developmental problems
of the involved child. The primary care provider must not lose sight of the goals that will lead to the
child's personal independence and social responsibility. Our EIP lasts a minimum of 3 months where
improvements are noted and succeeding goals are identified.
Neuro Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is the use of 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure and
is recommended for treating conditions and injuries resulting from deprivation of blood supply. It is
a non-invasive procedure with minimal risks and is delivered through a controlled total body
chamber. Due to its potential healing benefits, HBOT is currently described as “a groundbreaking
treatment” for Stroke, Parkinson's, Brain Injuries, Arthritis, Diabetes, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Heart
Disease, Birth Injuries, Learning Disabilities, Multiple Sclerosis, and much more.

Our “baby blue” chamber at Quality Life Discoveries provides 100% oxygen up to 3.0 ATA. And with
enough leg room for two persons at a time, your kids will feel safe and comfortable during the
treatment session.
Multi-Sensory Environments
Quality Life Discoveries is proud to be the first in bringing to the Philippines the Multi Sensory
Environment (MSE). MSE is a specially designed room that offers stimulation to the sense of sight,
smell, hearing, and touch through a variety of lights, aromas, gently stimulating music, and tactile
objects. The equipments promote relaxation, enjoyment, and exploration.

Although multi sensory environments do not provide a “quick fix”, repeated exposure to these
experiences can help ground and generate responses from children who otherwise have trouble
responding in a typical clinical, home, or school setting. The experience of a child in a multi sensory
environment subtly adjusts the brain chemistry through the senses, setting the tone for motivation
and functional attention. It lowers the stress chemistry and increases the relaxation chemistry.
Multi Sensory Environments are found to increase awareness, focus, and attention, and encourage
participation, and communication in non-verbal clients. Conditions that respond favorably to
multi-sensory environments include:

Attention Deficit Disorders and

Attention Deficit/ Hyperactive
Disorders
Autism Spectrum
Dementia (Alzheimer's Disease)
Depression
Developmental Disabilities
Post traumatic stress disorders
Sensory Processing Disorders

Aquatherapy (Watsu ) for the Well and Differently-Abled
Aquatherapy at Quality Life Discoveries utilizes the Watsu® form of aquatic body work. Watsu® or
water shiatsu is a passive form of aquatic bodywork/therapy that supports and gently moves a
person through warm water in graceful, fluid movements. The rhythmical, gentle rocking motions
in warm water coupled with repeated trunk rotations and elongations are helpful in improving
muscle tone. Exercises that are difficult to perform on dry land can be done more efficiently in the
pool. Immediate benefits include: increased range of motion, increased muscle relaxation,
decreased spasticity, and decreased pain. This form of therapy can also benefit the well child or
adult through improved sleep patterns, digestion, healing and immune system response, and
decreased anxiety. Our Watsu® trained therapists are ready to guide you throughout this most
nurturing and liberating experience with a wide range of therapeutic benefits and potential healing
on many levels.

In QLD, we are in the forefront in the use of

Watsu® and other aquatherapy modalities
not only for the well but also for people
with special needs. Recommended also for
clients with varieties of orthopedic and
neurologic challenges, children with
cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular
dystrophy, attention deficit disorders,
autism and victims of emotional and
physical abuse.
TheraSuit™ Intensive Exercise Program
The TheraSuit™ is a form fitting suit comprised of a cap, vest, shorts, knee pads and specially
adapted shoes that are connected with each other through a system of adjustable straps and
elastic bands. It is designed to align the body to as close to normal as possible. When worn in
conjunction with an intensive exercise program, the TheraSuit™ can accelerate a child's progress in
physical therapy. Its goals are to improve proprioception (sensation from joints, ligament,
muscles); reduce pathological reflexes; restore patterns of movements; and improve weight
bearing.

The intensive exercise program also utilizes the Universal Exercise Unit (UEU) which consists of
system of pulleys, straps, weights, and splints used to perform a variety of exercises for improving
strength, range of motion, and flexibility. It can also be used to allow children to perform relatively
independent skills and movements while supported.

Conditions that benefit most from the TheraSuit™ intensive exercise program include:
Cerebral Palsy
Ataxia
Athetosis
Spasticity
Developmental Delays
Traumatic Brain Injury
Post Stroke
Other post orthopedic surgical intervention

Participation in the program is for 3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week for a 3-week period. Each
treatment session includes a warm-up phase with hot packs, massage, stretching,
weight/resistance training, vestibular therapy, gait training, and functional exercise.
Giger MD™ Rehabilitation
The Giger MD™ therapy is another first from Quality Life
Discoveries. The Giger MD™ involves the use of a medical
device where the arms and legs execute cycling movements.
A computer with a biofeedback software monitors the
performance of the client. Giger MD™ Therapy works on the
basis of the Theory of Coordination Dynamics which states
that re-learning of basic central nervous system function in a
lesioned brain can be achieved through the use of rhythmic,
dynamic coordinated movements. This is attainable through
the use of Giger MD™ Therapy which is also known to benefit
conditions like Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Spina
Bifida, Osteoporosis, Parkinson's Disease, Stroke, Spinal
Cord Injury (paraplegia and quadriplegia), and other
neurologic conditions.

Muscle-based Oral Motor Therapy

Quality Life Discoveries offers a protocol for oral motor therapy that includes
strategies to improve functional response to pressure and movement, range,
strength, variety and control of movement for the lips, cheeks, jaw and
tongue. Typical impairments addressed by oral motor therapy include
drooling, oral hyper/hyposensitivity, bruxism or teeth grinding, swallowing
difficulties, and poor feeding.
