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.

About the care
What is pediatric physical therapy?
Physical therapy helps children build the strength, balance, and coordination they need to move through their world with confidence.
A pediatric physical therapist looks at how a child moves — how they roll, sit, crawl, walk, run, and play — and designs playful, motivating activities that build strength and quality of movement. Sessions look a lot like play, but every game works toward a specific motor goal.
Families typically seek out a PT when a baby is late to roll, sit, or walk, when a child toe-walks, seems clumsy, or tires easily, after an injury or surgery, or to support a diagnosis like cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or hypotonia.
