We are born with reflexes: instinctive, involuntary reactions that support early development. Through natural movement, primitive reflexes become integrated while postural reflexes are activated. Stress during pregnancy, birth or early infancy may affect this process.
When reflexes are not behaving as they should, they can have a significant impact on everyday life. A neuro-developmental assessment can help identify what may be happening.
Assessment
An assessment takes around two hours and looks at static and dynamic balance, motor development, reflexes, brain laterality, oculo-motor function, visual perception and executive functioning. A written report follows within 10 working days, then a tailored programme of exercises can begin.
