MNRI Introduction to Reflex Integration

Description

The MNRI® Introduction to Reflex Integration two-day course provides the foundation for professionals to understand the importance of primary sensory-motor reflex pattern maturation, why a reflex might be poorly integrated, the impact a non-matured reflex can have, and how MNRI® techniques are designed to integrate these reflexes. Primary sensory-motor reflex patterns emerge along a predictable developmental continuum, with each successive reflex emerging to secure a child’s survival and protection as his system mature and advances. When adequately engaged, each reflex anchors neurologically more deeply a physiological, emotional and psychological sense of security, freeing an infant to focus on exploring, learning, and fully advancing through all stages of reflex maturation which are required for life skills. It is through this complete integration process that reflex patterns form the foundation for related sensory-motor developmental milestones (sitting up, crawling, walking, etc) for each of us to reach our full potential over time, anchoring emotional and behavioral regulation, and advancing motor, communication, and cognitive learning. Congenital disorders or traumatic events that occur in utero, at birth, or anytime after birth can interrupt the activation, maturation and integration of a primary sensory-motor reflex pattern. Depending upon the number of reflexes impacted and the maturational deficits of each impacted reflex, a broad spectrum of disorders and life challenges can occur.

This class has been called “The Missing Link” by many Occupational, Physical, Speech and Massage Therapists, and Parents
