Retained Primary Reflexes

Primary reflexes are automatic movements which are directed from the brain stem to assist a baby’s survival during the first weeks and months of life. These need to be inhibited by higher brain centres to allow more sophisticated neural structures to be developed. If they are not fully integrated they can inhibit neurological development. 

Signs may include:

• Difficulty with handwriting
• Struggle with reading
• Clumsy
• Poor posture
• Confused by left / right directions
• Anger
• Walk on balls of feet or toes
• Easily distracted
• Dislike of bright lights or too much stimulus 
• Fidgety
• Messy eating
• Uncomfortable in certain clothing or feeling on skin
• Problem with sport or catching a ball

I offer retained primary reflexes integration sessions by using muscle testing and balancing techniques. 

"I just wanted to share with you that xxx received the Learner’s Trophy today at school for doing so well this year and always giving everything a go. We have really noticed such a change in her these last couple of months especially with her concentration and I believe this is a result of our time with you. I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen at her next session."
