Reflex Integration Techniques
We are each born with an innate set of movement patterns (primary reflexes) that promote our neurological development and functioning from birth to adulthood. These include the ability to process sensory information, develop mature postural and movement patterns, and set the stage for the development of social skills, language, motor skills, and all functional capacities.
The integration of primary reflexes further allow our systems to have the ability to maintain feelings of physical groundedness and remain emotionally regulated.
Using therapeutic strategies that access these “hard-wired” reflex patterns, our therapists promote the maturity of these neurological systems. Going to the root of these systems allows for faster results and long-lasting changes.
Our therapists have extensive training in the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI) method.
Sensory Processing Techniques
Our therapists have a sophisticated understanding of sensory processing and the neurological processes that contribute to optimal functioning. Using a variety of body based techniques, movement strategies, sound-based systems, ocular-motor/visual protocols, and a variety of other tools, we help our clients feel more comfortable in their bodies and in the world around them.
Therapeutic Exercises
An important part of the therapy program is the implementation of therapeutic exercises that bring together and reinforce the work that is done during each session. Our skilled therapists develop personalized home programs for each client that are carefully reviewed during sessions. We find that following up at home with just a few minutes of exercise each day allows for faster results. This often results in reducing the total amount of therapy required by a number of months.
Self-Regulation Strategies
Education is an important piece of the therapy process and we believe that the more knowledge that you have regarding how your body works, the more quickly and deeply you can affect change. Therapy sessions will focus on helping you get to know your individual neurological system. You will gain an understanding of how changes in the physical way you use your body strongly impacts the way that you think and feel. We encourage our clients to ask questions, such as why specific techniques are used and how they will be helpful to them. Together we will celebrate each step toward your goals.
