PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY
At Fundamentals Therapy, our Physical Therapists (PTs) and Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) are dedicated to helping children reach important motor milestones and maximize their physical potential. We specialize in improving strength, endurance, coordination, and overall motor development in children of all ages.
Each child receives a thorough, individualized evaluation. Our team works closely with families to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports the child’s unique needs and goals—at home, at school, and in the community.
We are passionate about empowering children and their families through compassionate, evidence-based care. Whether your child is overcoming a developmental delay, recovering from an injury, or managing a physical condition, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Dynamic Movement Intervention
At Fundamentals Therapy, we are proud to offer Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) as part of our pediatric physical therapy services. DMI is a hands-on therapeutic technique designed to help children improve posture, balance, and gross motor skills through a series of structured, repetitive movements.
This approach is especially beneficial for children with motor delays or neurological conditions, and it can be adapted to meet each child’s unique needs and abilities.
Our certified therapists incorporate DMI into individualized treatment plans to support functional movement and developmental progress in a fun, motivating environment.
Who Can Benefit from DMI?
DMI is an excellent therapy option for children with a wide range of diagnoses and developmental challenges. It’s especially helpful for children who:
- Have delayed motor milestones (e.g., sitting, crawling, standing, or walking)
- Have low or high muscle tone
- Experience balance or coordination difficulties
- Have neurological conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, genetic disorders, or developmental delays
- Need help building core strength and postural control
DMI can be adapted for children of all ages and abilities. Whether your child is just beginning to explore movement or working toward more advanced motor goals, DMI can provide the support and challenge they need to grow stronger and more confident.
