Pain

Do we have a duty to ourselves and our children to be as free as possible from physical and emotional pain? Do you see ways that your child is in pain? Do you have pain?

Anxiety, shyness, aches, tension, fatigue, hypersensitivities, headaches, frustration, and lack of confidence can all be physically or emotionally painful. These physical and emotional pains may be coming from the same source—a compromised neuro-sensory-motor system (NSM system). When the NSM system is underdeveloped, it can leave us unable to focus, and stuck in fight-or-flight—an uncomfortable state of irritability, and hyper-vigilance.

An underdeveloped NSM system can also cause tension, tightness, weak muscles, upset, hyper-sensitivities, or an inability to communicate and connect with others—any of these can lead to physical and emotional pain.

Could it be that, when children are combative, the underlying cause is really pain?

Pain can be a blessing when it is a wake-up call to do something different. Pain is a signal to guide us to where help is needed. And it can be life-changing when we take action and find new ways of being.

Whether it is physical or emotional pain, by doing specific, targeted movements from the Brain and Sensory Foundations course, the NSM system becomes calmer and more mature. Directly transforming the nervous system makes all the difference.Ther are simple rhythmic movements and help for retained primitive reflexes that can lift pain and increase joy for you and those you care for.

How can rhythmic movements and reflex integration work for both physical and emotional pain?

The answer lies in the intersection between the brain, nerves, and sensory-motor systems.

I have personally seen the tools taught in the Brain and Sensory Foundations First Level course appear to work wonders to turn around pain for children and adults. We have hundreds of case studies from our students that confirm and support the far-reaching transformations these tools bring.

Here is an example:

"I have had plantar fasciitis for a few years now on my right foot only. It would come and go and I was treating it with standard stretching of my calf muscle, massaging and stretching my plantar tendon. Both of these would help to a certain extent but this last time it returned, those efforts did not seem to help. I was re-doing level 1 [of the Brain and Sensory Foundation course] and decided to try the plantar integration techniques.  It was better after day 1 and the pain was entirely gone after day 3 of doing the isometric movements morning and night. Now I only do it once a day and sometimes I forget and it still has not returned. Nice!!" Rosanne Papadopoulos, occupational therapist

While we cannot promise a certain result for any given individual or condition, we can try these neurodevelopmental movements and see if they are helpful. I have heard so many success stories over the years that I always say, “It is worth a try!” Check out this mother's amazing story about pain relief using primitive reflex integration.

• There is the child who suffered trauma and neglect, who can now
  connect with his adoptive parents
• There is the young law student who is finding freedom from her
  intense anxiety and ADHD symptoms
•  A young woman with social anxiety can now speak easily and
  make friends for the first time
• And so many children have found calm and relief from painful
  sensory issues

 With neurodevelopmental movements, you may be able to do more than you ever thought possible to help children and adults with pain and other challenges. If you are not already enrolled, now is the time to benefit from the unique tools in the Brain and Sensory Foundations course.
