This is a great example of why DMI is so focused on antigravity strength. Learning to lift up your head and trunk is tricky, so learning to be vertical with all the necessary nervous systems firing is vital!

One of the theories of DMI treatment approach is the ability to tap into neuroplastic change, to effect movement development. But we also know this when kids repeatedly practise inefficient movement patterns that block more efficient movement patterns from emerging, like default wiring.

So, to ensure our little friends with neuromotor challenge develop and grow little bodies that are straight, strong and pain free as they get older, a therapy approach directed towards providing alignment based input is imperative! It just makes sense!

Terrible news for our industry and all our little friends

Today is WORLD CP DAY💚
Today, as with every day, we honour, encourage and support our little friends with CP.

🧠✨ What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of lifelong conditions that affect movement, posture, and coordination. It’s caused by damage to the developing brain—usually before, during, or shortly after birth.

👶 It’s the most common physical disability in childhood.
🧍‍♂️ CP can look different for everyone—some kids might need mobility aids, others might have subtle challenges with balance or fine motor skills.
🗣️ It can also affect speech, vision, and learning, but not always.
💪 Therapy, equipment, and early support can make a huge difference.

🧠 Cerebral Palsy: Global Prevalence Snapshot (2025)

🌍 Worldwide

• High-income countries:
~1.6 per 1,000 live births
(Declining due to improved neonatal care and early intervention)
• Low- and middle-income countries:
Up to 3.4 per 1,000 live births
(Higher due to limited access to healthcare and early support)

🇦🇺 Australia

• 1997–98: 2.4 per 1,000 live births
• 2015–16: 1.5 per 1,000 live births
• 2017–18 (provisional): Continuing downward trend
(Reflects national improvements in perinatal care and early intervention)

📉 Why Is Prevalence Dropping?

• Better neonatal care 🏥
• Early detection & intervention 👶
• Safer birth practices 🤰
• Inclusive health systems 🧑‍⚕️

💡 What This Means

• Fewer children are being diagnosed with CP in high-resource settings
• Global equity in care is still urgently needed
• Early support remains critical for every child’s potential

Every child with CP has their own strengths, story, and spark. Let’s celebrate ability, inclusion, and the power of early intervention 💙
