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. Go here for information about why these movements are so promising for helping children and adults overcome challenges. |
