DMO™ (Dynamic Movement Orthosis)

The team at Access Orthotics is trained in measuring and prescribing DMO™ suits. 

What is a DMO™ Garment?

The Dynamic Movement Orthosis (DMO™) is a made-to-measure Lycra garment that provides dynamic compression designed to improve posture, movement control and sensory feedback for those who live with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.

The DMO™ suit uses light-weight breathable materials to provide a non-restrictive level of support, improve symmetry and assist stabilisation of the trunk and spine.

How does a DMO™ Garment work?

A DMO™ garment utilises specially designed compression fabric that is soft, flexible & strong. The design helps realign the body and influence both muscle tone and the proprioceptive system.

How we measure

Aligning with our values and our other orthosis pathways, your DMO™ garment will be tailored to you to allow you to meet your goals.
