Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a method in pediatric physical therapy that aims to improve children's motor skills and optimize their movement patterns. DMI uses targeted exercises and movement incentives to promote children's natural movement development. The special thing about DMI is that it is playful and interactive, which is fun for children and increases their motivation. Through regular DMI sessions, children can improve their movement skills, strengthen their coordination and increase their confidence. It's a wonderful way to help children move freely and confidently!
