Frequently Asked Questions

DMI, or Dynamic Movement Intervention, is a set of principles and techniques that rely upon automatic postural responses from specific positions to produce muscular strengthening and stability that would otherwise be impossible or very difficult. These interventions create real and noticeable progress towards motor milestones, such as rolling, sitting, standing, walking, and more.

DMI is based in 3 well-established neurological principles: Neuronal Group Selection Theory (NGST), Neuroplasticity, and Maturational Theory. For more on these principles, check out our informational videos. There have been numerous published case studies (scientific success stories) regarding the application of DMI. There are currently multiple research studies underway to study the effectiveness of DMI with patients of various activity levels, ages, and diagnoses.

Given that DMI is an advanced technique that requires therapist stability and strength, there is a certain weight and height limit for every DMI practitioner. Beyond this height/weight, these techniques can become more dangerous than helpful. Given Dylan's large size and strength, he is able to perform these techniques on larger children in a safe manner. To see if your child is eligible for heavy DMI, contact us here.
