Services
IMOT Therapy
IMOT (Intensive Model of Therapy) delivers concentrated treatment sessions leveraging neuroplasticity principles. Our therapists design customized 1-3 week programs with 1-4 hours daily sessions. This approach accelerates motor skill development through repetitive task practice and functional training.
NDT Treatment
NDT (Neurodevelopmental Treatment) focuses on improving motor control and functional abilities. Our certified therapists conduct comprehensive assessments to create individualized intervention plans. This evidence-based approach addresses postural control, movement patterns, and sensory integration for children with neurological conditions.
DMI Therapy
DMI (Dynamic Movement Intervention) enhances motor development through guided movement patterns. Our specialists use progressive resistance techniques to improve muscle activation and coordination. This therapy specifically targets developmental milestones like sitting, standing, and walking through structured exercise programs.
NeuroSuit Program
The NeuroSuit system provides controlled resistance and alignment for intensive therapy sessions. This wearable device enhances proprioceptive feedback while supporting proper movement patterns. Our therapists integrate this technology with functional training to maximize neuromuscular development during 3-week intensive programs.
Universal Exercise Unit
Our Universal Exercise Unit (Spider Cage) offers suspended therapy using bungee systems. This equipment enables gravity-reduced movement training to improve strength and balance. Therapists customize resistance levels to develop weight-bearing capacity and transitional movements in a safe environment.

Our son was born with a rare form of epilepsy and had a hemispherectomy surgery at age 2. While the surgery stopped his seizures, it also caused significant weakness on the right side of his body. We signed up for an intensive when he was 3. At the time, he could walk a few steps independently, but always needed someone close by or holding his hand. By the end of the intensive, he was walking all distances independently, and he would take off on his own and walk around with so much confidence! We have continued working with IPTI and have been so impressed with the way they tailor therapy to meet

I love this place! Ms. Muriel was so nice and personable to my daughter, she was so caring and has helped my daughter tremendously! Ms. Candy was just as amazing! My daughter absolutely loves her! She was great at pushing my daughter and I can see the results! I love the fact that they all interacted and spoke to my daughter even though shes nonverbal. They love their job and it shows. We did the 3 week intensive program and my daughter went from just laying to sitting independently and reaching and rolling and attempting to get up all in 3 weeks!!! My daughter also got to work with Ms. Jill

I don't think there's enough room on this page for all the wonderful things I have to say about IPTI! Their entire staff is amazing, from the receptionists to the students who shadow the fantastic therapists! Every day of our intensive I was in awe of how Muriel and Candy were able to make exercises functional and FUN for my child - he loved going every day and never got burnt out. I also really appreciated that they were able to clearly explain to me in simple terms what was going on with him and why his body was struggling. I feel like I understand him so much better and can help him better at

We recently finished a two week intensive at IPTI and had a very positive experience. My daughter made amazing progress with walking and holding onto the handles of her walker (something she has been working on for a long time). Muriel is an amazing therapist and is great with kids. The staff is very friendly and they truly care about helping kids of all abilities!

IPTI is wonderful! Muriel cares about the success of her patients as individuals. She is kind and patient while at the same time able to achieve results. Through an intensive PT session at IPTI our son made incredible progress. We were amazed by the strength and confidence he gained by working with Muriel.

We love IPTI! Candy and Muriel helped our son so much and we have seen a lot of progress. The office is clean, COVID-19 protocols are strictly enforced, and the staff are loving and very knowledgeable. My son had some sensory and balance concerns and with the help of IPTI we were able to find ways to help him. I can't recommend Candy and Muriel enough!

Top notch care and experience. We could not be happier and are so grateful to have the opportunity to bring our son for intensive sessions and weekly therapy. I would be hard pressed to find therapists so knowledgeable, dedicated, educated and caring. We are pleased with the results and believe in the method.
