How Do Innate Movements Work?

Greetings,
I am often asked how the innate neuro-movements I teach in the Brain and
Sensory Foundations courses work so well for overcoming challenges.

Claire Hocking's graphic to the right shows how the executive skills
at the top depend on the primitive reflex foundation at the bottom.

These innate neuro-movements do the "heavy lifting" of development--they
are essential for sensory processing, for body strength, and for building neural
connectivity in the brain for social and cognitive skills. When these
neuro-movements are hindered in early life, it is important
to use them later in life to optimize our functioning.

Enjoy the supporting research and articles below to further your understanding
of these powerful innate movements!

Best wishes,
Sonia Story

Research: Innate Rhythmic Movements and Reflex Integration

There is a long history of research showing that retained primitive reflexes
are associated with poor sensory-motor, behavioral, and cognitive skills.

The following article discusses the supporting research and rationale
for doing these innate rhythmic and reflex movements:

Research on Primitive Reflex Integration and Rhythmic Movement

Movement Drives Development

The most basic reason that these innate rhythmic and reflex movements work is because development itself works.

The amazing gift of these innate movements is that the brain
recognizes them and uses them to drive development at any age.


The problem is that for a majority of children in modern societies, these
movements are hindered in early life to a greater or lesser degree,
depending upon the individual.

promising for helping children and adults overcome challenges.
