What is Dynamic Movement Intervention?
Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used in pediatric physical and occupational therapy to help children with motor delays improve their automatic postural responses to gravity and progress toward developmental milestones.
How DMI Works
Therapist-directed exercises that challenge postural control against gravity, building automatic motor responses through repetition and graded support.
