Primitive reflexes are the neurological building blocks of learned skills and motor development, coordination skills, cognitive skills and behavior patterns. Each reflex has an associated sensory stimulation and corresponding pattern of movements that can be integrated or unintegrated.

There are different kinds of reflex integration techniques. At Nurturing Paths, we use both the manual, hands-on exercises of the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI) method, laser therapy called Quantum Reflex Integration (QRI) and sensory integration therapy.

The MNRI method uses hands-on facilitation to guide the child through patterns of exercises to Integration reflexes. The exercises increase core strength and coordination, improve motor control, and stimulate the nervous system to Integration the targeted reflex.

QRI is performed at specific points on the body with cold laser and sounds. This technology stimulates reflex integration, repairs nerve cells, and is often used for calming.

Sensory integration therapy facilitates reflex integration through fun and creative sensory motor activities.
