CME therapy is composed by more than 600 exercises; each exercise represents a particular biomechanical challenge for the child.

Each therapy exercise demands an active response from the child and always the choice of the exercise is directly related to the child’s reaction potential. The “art” portion of CME therapy depends on the ability of the CME practitioner to choose and apply the optimal sequence of exercises during the therapy session, in order to “provoke” new spontaneous postural-functional reactions. The “science” portion of CME resides in the new responses emerging from the immature brain.

CME therapy proposes a trial period of eight weeks of daily treatment in order to prove that the therapy program can help the child to progress. The main goal for these 8 weeks
of treatment is to achieve at least three of the goals established at the CME assessment.
By using these three goals as criteria, parents will have a concrete method to evaluate the effectiveness of the CME approach for their child. CME is the only physical therapy approach committed to these standards of effectiveness.
