Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used in Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and promoting progress towards developmental milestones.

 The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response from the child in response to defined dynamic exercises prescribed by the therapist. This comprehensive intervention incorporates current research on neurorehabilitation, technologies, and methodologies. DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to facilitate new neuronal connections and development of motor milestones. (Information sourced from the DMI website at dmitherapy.com)

Mustgatova Neuroserimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI), an approach that emphasizes the role of primitive reflexes in a child's development. These reflexes are crucial for survival and serve as the foundation for all learned movements and skills.  MNRI helps identify and integrate reflexes that may not have developed properly, which can impact your child's coordination, emotional regulation, and overall learning.
