Moving Mountains Therapy
What is Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)?
DMI is the method behind every Moving Mountains intensive. Here is how the founders of the method describe it.
The official description
"Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used in physical and occupational therapy to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and help each child progress towards developmental milestones (i.e. rolling, sitting, four-point, crawling, standing, walking and transitions). The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response from the child in response to defined dynamic exercises prescribed by the therapist. This comprehensive intervention reflects current research on neurorehabilitation, technologies and methodologies. DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to help your child's brain make new and improved connections and develop their motor milestones."
