Optimize is one of the few San Diego pediatric clinics offering advanced, training-intensive interventions for children with complex needs — from Dynamic Movement Intervention to Galileo vibration therapy.
DMI is a specialized therapeutic technique used to treat children with motor delays. Through progressively challenging exercises, the therapist provokes automatic postural and movement responses — helping the child progress toward developmental milestones.
It is particularly meaningful for children with conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, hypotonia and global developmental delay. Few clinics in San Diego are trained to deliver it.

The warmth and buoyancy of water reduce the impact of gravity, letting children build strength, balance and confidence in movements that are harder on land.
Side-alternating whole-body vibration that stimulates muscle activation and helps improve strength, balance and bone health.
Threshold electrical stimulation used to support muscle activation and motor recruitment as part of a broader therapy plan.
Addresses retained primitive reflexes that can interfere with movement, coordination, attention and learning.
A wearable orthotic and bracing system that provides gentle support and alignment cues throughout the day and during therapy.
Elastic therapeutic taping used to support muscles and joints, improve body awareness and reinforce movement patterns.
