## Gross Motor Gains with Primitive Reflex Integration

Integrating the primitive reflexes may build gross motor skills in individuals who experience issues with motor planning, coordination, gait, flexibility, or muscle tone. The success stories below demonstrate potential benefits to gross motor function from [innate rhythmic movements](https://moveplaythrive.com/resources/what-is-rhythmic-movement-training "Learn how rhythmic movements impact development") and [primitive reflex integration](https://moveplaythrive.com/resources/the-importance-of-integrating-reflexes "How primitive reflexes lay the functional foundation").

*All case studies are written by students of the [Brain and Sensory Foundations First Level course](https://moveplaythrive.com/courses/primitive-reflex-integration-first-level "Course on innate rhythmic movements and primitive reflex integration").*
