šŸ’„ Hot take: Even if gold-standard RCTs showed DMI was no better than traditional PT…therapists and families are probably still going to use it.

āœ… We can all agree there’s no high-level evidence for DMI or CME yet.
āœ… Founders of these interventions should have a moral ans ethical duty to bring the evidence (and I hear more is coming, which is great).
āœ… But therapists and families are still choosing to invest their time and money here.

For me, every child is unique. Our role as therapists is to partner with parents, be transparent, and explore what works for that child.

šŸ‘‰ But the question remains: if the evidence doesn’t support it… we should seriously consider why are highly skilled therapist using interventions like DMI over other interventions? What is it???

I’d love to hear your thoughts—drop a comment and let’s open this discussion up.

And if you want the link to the article, comment with an emoji about how you feel about DMI or CME.

And yes I have a DMI box set that's been collecting dust in my home for years šŸ˜‚ I'll use it someday... I swear

Botox has been the go to for years in cerebral palsy management. But what if there’s another option on the horizon?

šŸ’” Hyaluronidase is gaining attention as a possible alternative, working differently, aiming to address stiffness at the tissue level rather than just blocking nerve signals.

This could mean fewer injections, longer-lasting benefits, and a shift in how we manage tone and mobility.

āš ļø Still early days, but as physios we need to stay ahead of emerging treatments.

šŸ‘‰ Would you be ready to explore hyaluronidase if it proves effective?

Drop ā€œFutureā€ below and I’ll send you the latest research.
