Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)
Dynamic Movement for Dynamic Kids
At developt, we're all about finding ways to help kids grow, thrive, and reach their milestones. That's why we're so excited to offer Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)—a hands-on therapy approach that's all about building strength, improving coordination, and unlocking new movement possibilities for kids.
What Is DMI?
DMI is a focused way to help kids develop their motor skills by using dynamic exercises to provoke specific motor responses. These carefully designed exercises challenge the brain and body to work together, creating new movement patterns and building strength along the way.
Think of it as targeted training for your child's muscles and nervous system—helping them sit, crawl, walk, and move with more confidence.
Why DMI Works
DMI is unique because it focuses on repetition and precision to encourage real progress. During sessions, we guide your child through specific movements that:
Build muscle strength and balance.
Encourage coordination and better control of their body.
Help develop motor pathways to improve how they move, explore, and play.
And more!
Whether your child is working on their first steps or refining their walking skills, DMI can help them reach their next big milestone.
Will DMI Work for My Child?
Let's find out! DMI is a great option for kids with a variety of challenges, like:
Delays in gross motor skills (like sitting, crawling, or walking).
Neurological conditions such as Cerebral Palsy.
Balance or coordination difficulties.
And more!
