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, muscle tone, and motor control while learning about your family's goals and your child's unique developmental needs.
Personalized Daily Intensive Sessions
Your child receives 55-minute DMI therapy sessions each day for 2 weeks, using dynamic exercises designed to challenge and engage their developing nervous system.
Watch Milestones Unfold
Through repetition and neuroplasticity, your child begins achieving functional movements—rolling, sitting, reaching, crawling—that become automatic and lasting.

Dynamic Movement Intervention is a specialized pediatric physical therapy approach that uses structured, repetitive movements to actively engage your child's nervous system and create new neural pathways through neuroplasticity. Unlike traditional weekly therapy that often works within a child's current abilities, DMI intensive programs provide daily 55-minute sessions over 2 weeks. This concentrated approach challenges the brain to develop new movement patterns through exercises in various positions—lying, sitting, kneeling, or standing. The intensive repetition and challenge help children achieve developmental milestones like rolling, sitting, crawling, and walking faster than traditional therapy approaches.
We offer 2-week intensive programs at our Richardson, TX clinic with sessions Monday through Friday.

We also offer optional Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) as an add-on modality to enhance neural connections during your intensive program.rength, and coordination. Sessions are engaging and structured to keep your child motivated while maximizing their progress.
Our DMI intensive therapy 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.
