Shoshana Moskowitz, PT, runs Baby U Got This Pediatric Physical Therapy in New Jersey. She primarily uses DMI exercises in her sessions and will also use TMR TOTs techniques, e-stim, and kinesio taping or compression garments if needed. DMI is a therapeutic technique used in physical and occupational therapy to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and promoting progress toward developmental milestones. She works with those diagnosed with cerebral palsy, developmental delay, prematurity, neurodevelopmental disorders, toe-walking, torticollis, genetic disorders, spina bifida and other musculoskeletal conditions.
About the care
What is an intensive therapy program?
Intensive therapy packs weeks of progress into a short, focused burst — daily sessions over one to several weeks.
Instead of one session a week, an intensive program schedules therapy daily — often three to four hours a day for two to four weeks. That frequency lets a child practice a skill while it is still fresh, which can consolidate progress that would otherwise take months.
Families typically choose an intensive to chase a specific goal — first steps, independent sitting, a smoother gait — after a surgery, or to jump-start progress when weekly therapy has plateaued.
