Dynamic Movement Intervention
DMI is a therapeutic technique used to treat children with motor delays by improving automatic postural repsonses and promoting progress towards developmental milestones.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy utilizes the physical properties of water to assist in patient healing and exercise performance. Aquatic therapy will provide the child the freedom to move their body in ways that are more challenging on land. Aquatic therapy can help children learn skills that they can transition and perfect during traditional land-based sessions.
Aquatic therapy sessions are currently conducted at the Downtown YMCA
