Greetings, Here is a study showing that abnormal gait patterns It is very possible that the abnormal gait in individuals When we give these innate movements later in life, will |
So far, in case study reports we are seeing a big Yes answer to this question. Many therapists using tools from the Brain and Sensory Foundations courses notice that after doing innate rhythmic movements and reflex integration, children's gait often improves along with their ability to produce a proper "heel strike" when walking. These movements can also help reduce and eliminate toe walking! Countless parents and therapists have also reported that children are more emotionally regulated and more able to connect socially--often in very touching ways--after receiving these innate movements.
One 11-year-old boy with an awkward gait, flat affect, and learning challenges started to walk with a coordinated gait within a week of doing the innate rhythmic movements and reflex integration. Within 3 months, the boy was laughing and talking with friends, learning with more ease, and sharing loving expressions with his parents--something he had never done before.*
Are you moved by this boy's story? I appreciate your sharing this newsletter with your community!
Best wishes,

"I’ve gotten so much from the [Brain and Sensory Foundations] course already. I’m a practicing paediatric occupational therapist in Australia and rhythmic movements and reflex integration have become foundational to my practice. I love the course and how thorough but also accessible the information is."- Kaitlin Howe, Occupational Therapist
