Can Primitive Reflex Integration Help Reduce Anxiety?

Rhythmic movements and primitive reflex integration may help with anxiety because they are calming and regulating for the brain and body. These innate neurodevelopmental movements can release the nervous system from fight-flight or freeze states, helping to turn around social anxiety, phobias, separation anxiety, sleep challenges, and more.

All case studies are written by students of the Brain and Sensory Foundations First Level course.
