Primitive Reflexes

“This is more than a primitive reflex integration program - it is a brain maturation program” — BRMT founder Dr. Harald Blomberg

Primitive reflexes are innate patterns held in the brainstem that help the baby develop motor coordination, strength, vision, and social-emotional bonds in the first few years of life. A variety of factors can limit the integration of these primitive reflexes or cause them to reactivate later in life. BRMT movements mimic specific developmental patterns that babies use to integrate primitive reflexes. These movements are as innate as the reflexes themselves, and work to integrate primitive reflexes at any age.

For children, primitive reflex integration is used to improve attention, self-regulation, emotional regulation, vision, reading skills, academic performance, gross motor coordination, visual motor skills, body awareness, resilience, and more.

For adults, this gentle, rhythmic body work technique can provide deep healing for the mind and body.

We offer courses for professionals interested in incorporating primitive reflex integration into their practice. All courses are accepted by NBCOT for continuing education credits. OTs, PTs, teachers, parents, doctors, professors, massage therapists, psychologists, lactation specialists, and social workers have all attended and benefitted from the insights and practical techniques shared in this program.
