If you feel disheartened by the current pharmacological methods used to address emotional, behavioral, and motor disabilities, and you seek a gentle, drug-free, and sustainable alternative for yourself or your child, you have found the right place!
A Sustainable Way to Integrate Primitive Reflexes
We employ Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Training (BRMT), a neurodevelopmental approach aimed at fostering brain maturation, integrating reflexes, and enhancing overall well-being. Rooted in neuroscience and developmental physiology, BRMT aids individuals dealing with challenges such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism, sensory processing issues, neurodegenerative conditions, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and more. Best of all, no medications are necessary!
Primitive reflexes are instinctive, involuntary, and rhythmic movements that are present in newborns. These reflexes develop both in utero and during the initial years of life, playing a crucial role in the proper formation of postural reflexes. This development is vital for ensuring healthy behavioral, emotional, and motor responses in children and young adults as they grow.
What are
Primitive Reflexes?
Primitive reflexes that either remain unintegrated or become reactivated later in life can have a widespread impact on an individual, affecting their cognitive, emotional, and motor skills.
Numerous factors can trigger the reactivation of primitive reflexes, such as significant trauma (both major and minor, experienced before, during, or after birth), injuries, illnesses, stress, pain, exposure to various environmental toxins (including chemicals, poisons, and non-ionizing electromagnetic fields), insufficient movement stimulation in the early years post-birth, and more.
Why Are They Important?
How Does BRMT Help & Who is it For?
Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Training (BRMT) uses gentle rhythmic movements that replicate those involuntary, instinctual, stereotyped, rhythmic movements done in utero and during 1st year of life and which are controlled by the brainstem.
These movements provide the INPUTS the brain needs to develop higher-level inhibitory function of the basal ganglia (they help inhibit ACTIVE or RETAINED primitive reflexes and integrate these automatic movements into higher level postural reflexes).
BRMT is suitable for individuals of all ages, starting from birth, who may experience various challenges, including:
-
Developmental Delays
-
ADD/ADHD
-
Dyslexia
-
Dyspraxia
-
Cerebral Palsy
-
Autism Spectrum Disorders
-
Insomnia
-
Reactive Attachment Disorder
-
PTSD
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Social, Emotional, Sensory, and Behavioral Challenges
-
Chronic Pain
-
Improper Muscle Tone
-
Generalized Stress and Trauma
Additionally, it can also be effective for addressing issues faced by the elderly, such as vision and balance difficulties.
-
Moro Reflex (Startle Reflex) – Associated with anxiety, hypersensitivity, and ADHD symptoms (Konicarova & Bob, 2013).
-
Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) – Linked to reading, writing, and coordination difficulties (McPhillips & Jordan-Black, 2007).
-
Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (STNR) – Affects posture, handwriting, and focus.
-
Spinal Galant Reflex – Often related to bedwetting, bladder issues in adults, hyperactivity, and sensory issues (Goddard Blythe, 2009).
-
Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR) – Impacts balance, spatial awareness, and motor coordination.
BRMT utilizes gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate neural pathways, encouraging the brain to integrate these reflexes and establish efficient motor and cognitive function.
Key Reflexes Supported by BRMT
Many traditional interventions focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing the root cause of neurodevelopmental challenges. BRMT is different because it:
-
Targets the brainstem to integrate primitive reflexes and improve automatic motor function
-
Stimulates neural plasticity, strengthening communication between brain regions
-
Enhances self-regulation, reducing stress and emotional dysregulation
-
Supports natural sensory processing, leading to improved focus and coordination
Unlike medication or cognitive-only interventions, BRMT leverages the body’s natural movement patterns to create lasting changes.
Paradigm Shifts
Old Paradigm ~ A Pill for Every Ill
In a traditional scenario, the view is that an ADD/ADHD brain has a lack of dopamine in the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex. Central stimulants aim to increase the release, and prevent the uptake of, dopamine in the synapses, thus increasing the amount of dopamine available and preventing uptake by dopamine receptors, causing the receptors to eventually die off.
The problem with this reductionist approach is we fail to consider all the downstream effects of blocking dopamine uptake... And even more importantly, we fail to address the all-important question: WHY is there a lack of dopamine in the first place!?
New Paradigm ~ A Quantum Neurodevelopmental Approach
What if, instead of the traditional approach to behavioral and developmental issues, we looked at ADHD, Autism and other behavioral & cognitive presentations through a quantum neurodevelopmental lens?
Old Paradigm ~ a Pill for Every Ill
In a traditional scenario, the view is that a Parkinson's Disease (PD) brain lacks dopamine in the basal ganglia, in particular due to death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia Nigra (SN). This is considered the cause of the disease, and therefore replacing lost dopamine is the treatment.Therapeutic use of synthetic L-DOPA is common for treatment of PD. While this intervention often minimizes PD symptoms, exogenous delivery of L-DOPA does not stop or reverse progression of PD.The problem with this reductionist approach is we fail to consider all the downstream effects of artificially increasing dopamine levels. And even more importantly, we fail to address the all-important question: WHY is there a lack of dopamine in the first place!? What is causing dopaminergic neurons in the SN to die?
