Breakthrough Therapy, PLLC
Providing Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) therapy and intensive services in Phoenix's west valley!
What is Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)?
"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 (Ie. 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 means that the therapist will present an exercise in order to provoke a specific movement or response from your child.)
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" (sourced from www.dmitherapy.com, 2022).
What is intensive therapy?
Intensives consist of 1-2 sessions per day for 1-3 weeks. This differs from the traditional treatment model of 1-2 session per week. The amount of therapy hours your child receives in a 2 week intensive would take months with the traditional treatment model! Higher intensity therapy can result in faster progress for your child!

Hi there! My name is Becca, occupational therapist and face behind Breakthrough Therapy, PLLC. I am passionate about helping children be their best little selves, and after getting certified in DMI I fell in love with the intensive model of therapy! I took a huge leap of faith and launched Breakthrough Therapy, PLLC to fill a much needed gap to provide DMI intensive therapy in the west valley. I am an ASU and Midwestern University alumni and am an Arizona native. When I'm not working I love to paint, spend time with family, friends, and my 2 sweet fur babies!
