At the LEAP Centre, we’re here to unlock the potential of every child through innovative and effective therapeutic approaches. One of the approaches we take is the Cuevas Medek Exercise (CME). CME was introduced as a pioneering paediatric physiotherapy method designed to challenge and enhance the motor skills of infants and young children facing developmental delays. Understanding motor development, CME represents a breakthrough in physiotherapy, offering hope and tangible progress for families dealing with developmental concerns.
Cuevas Medek Exercise (CME) is a revolutionary approach in paediatric physiotherapy, introduced by Ramón Cuevas in the 1970s. This therapy is designed to expose children, particularly those with motor developmental delays, to the natural forces of gravity, making smooth progress in motor functions. Unlike traditional physiotherapy methods that often support or assist movement, CME challenges the child to achieve motor responses independently, promoting strength, balance, and coordination.
The core of CME lies in its dynamic and intensive exercises that require active participation from the child. These exercises are adaptable and scalable, ensuring that they suit the specific needs and capabilities of each child. From simple tasks that encourage the child to hold their head up to more complex ones that aim at achieving independent standing or walking, CME covers a broad spectrum of motor skills development.
