Dynamic Movement Intervention - is a therapeutic technique used by our Paediatric Physiotherapist to treat children with motor delay. DMI improves automatic postural responses and promotes progress towards developmental milestones.
This comprehensive intervention incorporates current research on neurorehabilitation, technologies, and methodologies. DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to facilitate new neuronal connections and development of motor milestones.
Who is DMI for:
DMI supports the development of early motor milestones, including rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. It is most effective for children under the age of five.
Children diagnosed with gross motor delay including conditions such as: Down Syndrome, Cerebral palsy, global developmental delay, hypotonia, chromosomal abnormalities/genetic disorders, spinal cord lesions or acquired brain injury.
Children who are born prematurely can also benefit from this therapy due to the strong neuroplastic changes that this treatment stimulates within the developing brain.
Children with orthopedic conditions such as torticollis, toe walkers, genu valgum (knocked knees), in-toeing, and others.

NOTE: our physiotherapist has completed the Introductory Level A course consisting of 35 functional movements supporting early motor milestone. She will be completing Level B in July 2025.
