’Rhythmic Movement Training is a movement based, primitive (infant or neo-natal) reflex integration program that uses developmental movements, gentle isometric pressure and self-awareness to rebuild the foundations necessary to help overcome learning, sensory, emotional and behavioural challenges for children and adults.’ (Ref)

Rhythmic Movement Training

What is involved?

It is recommended that everybody have a hand and a foot massage daily. Videos of how to do them are below. This is easiest done by somebody else, but can be done to yourself. When massaging the fingers and toes, make sure you gently pinch at the end of each finger and toe.

Daily Hand Massage

From conception, developmental stages which are not met, or trauma of any kind may affect a person:

  • through illness or stress of mother during pregnancy

  • birth

  • breastfeeding

  • ‘milestones’ such as gaining head control, crawling, walking

  • any trauma at any time in life

The RMT Consultancy Process:

  • test for unintegrated reflexes. This is non invasive and straightforward..

  • recommend on average 3 or 4 simple movements to be done 2-5 times per week.

  • repeat visit after a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks of performing the movements; change will be assessed and movements adjusted accordingly.

  • It can take up to 18 months for reflexes to become integrated.
