Product Description

We are born with primitive reflexes to keep us alive and safe in utero and throughout the first year of our lives. Primitive reflexes are the reactive actions that a newborn baby uses to survive in the beginning stages of life. These reflexes are essential in allowing the body to develop properly, and in order for this to happen, these reflexes must be integrated before childhood. I will discuss the 4 basic primitive reflexes we address in therapy and the top 3 impacts when these reflexes are NOT integrated or DO NOT go away naturally.
