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. We utilise outcome measures and evidence-based practice to ensure that the garment is helping you to achieve your goals, and we will regularly review the garment to ensure the garment continues to do this.
