Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
A non-invasive treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, HBOT has been shown to increase oxygen flow to damaged brain cells, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Stem Cell Therapy
This cutting-edge therapy uses stem cells to potentially repair damaged tissue and stimulate brain regeneration. While still in research phases, some families have reported improvements in motor function and cognition.

Neurofeedback Therapy
A brain-training technique that helps regulate brainwave activity, neurofeedback has been used to improve focus, reduce seizures, and support cognitive function in individuals with brain injuries.
-
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
A gentle, hands-on therapy that works to relieve tension in the brain and spinal cord, CST is often used to support nervous system regulation and promote relaxation in children with neurological injuries.

Hippotherapy
Pediatric hippotherapy is a therapeutic intervention that utilizes horseback riding to support children with anoxic brain injuries by engaging their neuromuscular, sensory, and cognitive systems in a dynamic and stimulating environment. The rhythmic, three-dimensional movement of the horse mimics the natural gait of human walking, helping to improve core strength, balance, coordination, and muscle tone. Additionally, the multisensory experience of riding—combined with the guidance of trained therapists—enhances motor planning, proprioception, and overall neurological function. Beyond the physical benefits, hippotherapy fosters emotional well-being, social engagement, and confidence, making it a valuable adjunct to traditional rehabilitation for children recovering from an anoxic brain injury.

Functional Medicine & Nutritional Support
Brain healing requires optimal nutrition, gut health, and metabolic support. Many families work with functional medicine doctors to address dietary deficiencies, inflammation, and mitochondrial function to aid recovery.
