Primitive Reflex Integration, Foundation for Health and Wellness

Health Professionals Find Rhythmic Movements and Reflex Integration Beneficial

Health professionals get excellent neurodevelopmental movements—including innate rhythmic movements and reflex integration activities—in the Brain and Sensory Foundations curriculum to help patients make measurable progress with a variety of conditions.

Why are neurodevelopmental movements important?

Harald Blomberg, MD explains that doing rhythmic movements and reflex integration can mature the brainstem and cerebellum and activate critical links to higher brain centers such as the limbic system and prefrontal cortex. This whole-brain linking helps us access relaxation and optimal functioning. Blomberg felt that this improved brain and body functioning accounted for why the movements seem to be so helpful for a large variety of conditions. For many individuals the neurodevelopmental movements are the key to maturing the nervous system, letting go of stress, and relieving constant states of anxiety and tension.

What health professionals are saying

The comments below from various health professionals highlight what we see in hundreds of case studies: The neurodevelopmental movements appear to be a foundation for health and wellness, and they can be used at any age to support optimal functioning.

"I am a Naturopathic Physician practicing in Anchorage, Alaska…I work with a lot of kids with issues and always look at the reflex issues first and often that is enough to get them back on track. I am focused primarily on brain injury and your tools have continued to serve me well with this population.”
Dr. Adam Grove, ND CBIS

“This course was an incredible opportunity for us. Our life changed after starting some of the techniques you teach at your course. Our son started sleeping all night after 12 years, he started eating more only a few days after we started doing the exercises, which was amazing. Brain and Sensory Foundations was the beginning of an incredible journey for our family.” María Francisca Sabugo S., Medical Doctor and Parent

"I work in the hospital as a postpartum RN, and IBCLC.  I love using the movements on babies, and see a huge difference…The Moro reflex alone is worth the class. I found out about it helping breastfeeding on accident.  One baby was super fussy at the breast, and kept doing the Moro, so I stopped the session and did a little work on the Moro to help it integrate, just so she would stop moving her arms out, and her entire suck changed, and she was able to latch.  I have seen this numerous times." Addy Kinser, RN and IBCLC

"This course has changed my life and the lives of my child with ADHD and the children I work with. In the past I have had poor posture and a curve in my cervical spine, I now have improved posture, neck strength, no more curvature, and I have even seen a decrease in headaches."
Heather Bowsher, COTA

"In my 16 years of clinical practice as an occupational therapist, with an extensive continued educational background, I have never before come across a single tool that is able to make such a profound and immediate difference in both neuro-typically developing and disabled pediatric populations."
Marina K., OTR/L, Brooklyn, New York

"I have seen more progress in my medically fragile kids with these movements than anything else I have ever done professionally." Brittany Hensley, PT, DPT

"I am benefiting from this program personally and professionally. It was definitely the missing piece in my early childhood education.  I am now able to work with families offering them life changing results." Kathy Bartell, Community Health Worker
