CME / MEDEK Therapy

What is Cuevas Medek Exercise?

CME is an evidence-based pediatric physical therapy approach that challenges the central nervous system to develop motor responses through progressive, gravity-dependent exercises.

🧠

Neurological Focus

CME challenges the central nervous system by exposing children to exercises that demand automatic postural and motor responses — activating the brain's natural developmental pathways.

📈

Progressive Approach

Exercises progress systematically — from proximal to distal support, and from supported to unsupported positions — following the natural sequence of motor development.

🌍

Internationally Recognized

Developed by Ramon Cuevas in Chile and now practiced worldwide, CME has helped thousands of children with diagnoses including cerebral palsy, hypotonia, and Down syndrome.

🏠

Home Program Integration

Parents learn exercises and techniques to continue therapy at home, maximizing the frequency of practice and accelerating progress between clinical sessions.
