This course is designed to help the learner understand the importance of integrating primitive reflexes and the impact a non-integrated reflex has on neurodevelopment. Integrated reflexes anchor emotion and behavioral regulation, and improve concentration, muscle tone, motor coordination, and cognitive pathways for learning. RMT explores techniques to assess and integrate primary motor reflex patterns using brain-building movements for help with concerns related to ADD/ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Anxiety, Speech, Learning, Developmental Delays, Social, Emotional, Sensory, Behavioral, and Motor Challenges.
RMTi One – Focus, Organization & Comprehension
Topics include:
- How RMT builds neuro-sensory-motor foundations for focus and higher-level learning skills
- Basics on brain development and reflex integration
- Ways to identify developmental imbalances affecting focus, organization, and comprehension
- Information on a selection of reflexes involved in laying the foundations of focus and comprehension – Tonic Labyrinthine (TLR); Landau; Asymmetrical & Symmetrical Tonic Neck (ATNR & STNR); Spinal Galant; Amphibian; Infant Plantar & Babinski
- Methods for assessing and integrating primitive reflexes
- The passive, active and isometric rhythmic movements
RMTi Two – Emotions, Memory & Behavior
Topics include:
- Ways to identify retained reflexes affecting emotions, memory, and behavior
- Methods for integrating Fear Paralysis, Moro Babkin, and Tendon Guard Reflexes
- Basics on motor function and the limbic system
- How to release muscle tension and emotional upset
- Using RMT to increase brain connectivity to the frontal lobes
