Dynamic Movement Intervention in Dallas, TX
DMI Could Be The Breakthrough Your Child Needs
Dynamic Movement Intervention is a specialized therapy approach that helps your child's brain create new pathways to reach developmental milestones faster.
Who Can Benefit From DMI?
DMI is effective for children with various neurological, developmental, and genetic conditions. Our specialized approach helps children achieve breakthrough results regardless of their current level of function or cognition.
DMI Therapy is great for children with:
Neurological Conditions
Cerebral Palsy, Dystonia, Athetoid movements, Ataxia - Complex movement disorders that affect motor control and coordination.
Developmental & Genetic Disorders
Down Syndrome, Genetic conditions, Developmental Delay, Prematurity - Conditions that impact typical developmental milestones.
Muscle Tone & Strength Issues
Hypotonia, Hypertonia, Decreased strength, coordination, balance - Challenges with muscle function and motor skills.
The Science Behind Your Child's Progress
DMI works by challenging your child's neurological system through carefully designed exercises that provoke specific motor responses.
This approach stimulates neuroplasticity - your child's brain's remarkable ability to reorganize and form new neural connections.
KEY PRINCIPLES:
Exercises are conducted against gravity to challenge postural control
Progressive difficulty ensures continuous neurological development
Repetition creates automatic responses that become functional skills
Dynamic positioning promotes strength, balance, and coordination
Your Child's Path to Lasting Progress
Comprehensive Initial Evaluation
We assess your child's movement patterns, balance, and motor control while learning about your family's goals and your child's unique needs.
Personalized Daily Intensive Sessions
Your child receives 55-minute therapy sessions each day for 2-3 weeks, using dynamic exercises designed to challenge and engage their nervous system.
Watch Milestones Unfold
Through repetition and neuroplasticity, your child begins achieving functional movements—rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, or walking—that become automatic and lasting.
“We just finished my daughter’s 2nd intensive with Dallas DMI & I am yet again - BLOWN AWAY with the results.
You cannot put a price tag on your children’s development. Dallas DMI has given me an immense amount of hope that my girl WILL walk one day - that she will catch up.
I’m so thankful for Dr. Tiffany’s & Emily’s knowledge and expertise. They have taught us so much and have poured so much energy into my daughter. We can’t wait for our next intensive!!!!”
Frequently Asked Questions
DMI (Dynamic Movement Intervention) intensive therapy is a specialized approach that uses structured, repetitive movements to actively engage your child's nervous system and create new neural pathways through neuroplasticity.
Unlike traditional weekly physical therapy sessions that often work within a child's current abilities, DMI intensive programs provide daily 55-minute sessions over 2-3 weeks.
This concentrated approach challenges the brain to develop new movement patterns and helps children achieve developmental milestones faster than traditional therapy. Many families come to us after months or years of weekly therapy with limited progress and see breakthrough results during their intensive program.
We offer 2-week and 3-week intensive programs with daily therapy sessions. Each session is 55 minutes long and tailored to your child's specific needs and abilities.
Our therapists guide your child through carefully selected dynamic exercises in various positions—lying, sitting, kneeling, or standing—depending on their current function and goals.
The exercises are designed to provoke automatic responses and stimulate balance, strength, and coordination. Sessions are engaging and structured to keep your child motivated while maximizing their progress.
We work with infants as young as 5 weeks old who have known neurological involvement or are at risk of disability. Early intervention with DMI can significantly improve long-term outcomes.
We do have a 45-pound weight limit for our standard DMI intensive programs, but we're happy to discuss modified DMI options for children who exceed this limit.
During your free consultation, we'll assess your child's current abilities and discuss whether an intensive program is the right fit for their needs and your family's goals.
Our specialized DMI approach helps children with various neurological, developmental, and genetic conditions, including cerebral palsy, hypotonia (low muscle tone), dystonia, athetoid movements, ataxia, complex movement disorders, developmental delays, prematurity/NICU graduates, and genetic conditions affecting motor control.
Even if your child hasn't been given a specific diagnosis but is simply not meeting developmental milestones, DMI intensive therapy may be able to help. We create personalized treatment plans based on each child's unique challenges and potential, regardless of their current level of function.
