Did you know that some early, automatic movements called primitive reflexes should naturally integrate (disappear) as a child develops? When these reflexes persist beyond their typical timeframe, they can interfere with the development of higher-level motor skills, coordination, sensory processing, and even learning and behavior. Our reflex integration therapy program utilizes gentle, specific movements and activities to help mature these retained reflexes, paving the way for smoother, more efficient development.

Retained primitive reflexes can manifest in various ways, impacting a child’s daily life. You might observe challenges with balance and coordination, difficulty with fine motor skills like handwriting, sensory sensitivities leading to over- or under-reactivity, and even difficulties with attention and focus. By addressing these underlying neurological patterns through targeted exercises, we aim to improve motor control, enhance sensory processing, promote better posture, and support overall functional skills necessary for academic success, social interaction, and confident movement.
