Figure Skating (and primitive reflexes at any age)
This blog post delves into the transformative journey of taking up figure skating at this age. I look at how continued work with primitive reflexes at any age, using rhythmic […]

Retained Reflexes And Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia
Dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia are specific learning difficulties linked to underdeveloped brain connections and reflex retention. These challenges can be mitigated through brain repatterning techniques like Rhythmic Movement Training, which aims to improve coordination, sensory processing, and academic performance by addressing delayed developmental milestones. This holistic approach holds promising results for individuals with SPLDs.
The Hidden Key: Ways Retained Primitive Reflexes May Impact Your Daily Life
I work to help primitive reflexes integrate, which are reflexes we are born with and should disappear by age two. If not integrated, they cause emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges. I use a gentle, movement-based therapy to reduce challenges and give the central nervous system and brain a second chance to develop typically. Interrupted development leads to challenges and our behavior and personalities are shaped by our reflex profiles. I work towards integration using movement patterns, and carefully observe my clients to assess and work on specific reflexes. It’s not magic, but it’s worth a try and has the potential to transform lives.
Retained reflexes, developmental milestones, and learning
Retained reflexes mean that a person may struggle to do things that others assimilate naturally and effortlessly. Not only that, but the movements used in Rhythmic Movement Training are simple and fun – and children often start to ask for them every day, because their bodies NEED these movements.
