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
  • Movements to release anxiety and stored emotional and physical tension
  • Ways to support people with SPD and ASD using RMT

Includes a full-color illustrated manual and movement menu

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this seminar, the participant will be able to…

DAY 1 &2

  1. Identify the innate rhythmic movements of infancy and recall why these movements promote brain development, effective learning, speech development, emotional balance, stress release, stamina and postural strength.
  2. Demonstrate an understanding of 17 Rhythmic Movements.
  3. Indicate if primitive reflexes are un-integrated and discuss the importance of integration to foundations of sensory-motor, emotional and cognitive function.
  4. Describe the research showing the connection between un-integrated reflexes and functional challenges.
  5. Assess 6 key primitive and postural reflexes for clients: Tonic Labyrinthine, Spinal Galant, Landau, Babinski, Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, and Amphibian Reflex.
  6. Experience, notice and express ‘before and after’ changes that occur from doing 17 Rhythmic Movements
  7. Demonstrate the movement patterns and protocols for integrating 6 key primitive and postural reflexes: Tonic Labyrinthine, Spinal Galant, Landau, Babinski, Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, Amphibian Reflex.
    DAY 3
  8. Demonstrate 17 Rhythmic Movements plus additional movements for limbic system integration and coordination of upper and lower body.
  9. Recognize why and how to use 17 Rhythmic Movements for all ages, infant to adult.
  10. Assess one key intrauterine reflex – Fear Paralysis Reflex, and the key primitive Moro Reflex and one protective reflex, Tendon Guard reflex.
  11. Identify whether an individual’s behavior indicates an underdeveloped limbic system imbalance
  12. Demonstrate the movement patterns and protocols for integrating two key reflexes – Fear Paralysis Reflex and Moro Reflex and one protective reflex, Tendon Guard reflex.
  13. Identify protocols to release tension patterns from areas affected by the Tendon Guard Reflex—legs, hip, back, neck and shoulders.
