Primitive reflex integration exercises are meant to be carried out under strict therapist supervision. Please only progress your child onto the exercises that have been recommended by their therapist. If you have questions on form or repetitions, please email your therapist.
Carrying out these exercises for ~15 min daily will help to integrate the reflexes faster, encouraging new motor learning and mylenation. The purpose is to master these reflexes and build upon them so we can make room for higher level learning.
Occupational Therapist, Bree Milani, gives an overview of home exercises to help integrate Spinal Galant Reflex between therapy sessions, under therapist supervision.
Primitive reflex integration is like clearing out “old software” in the brain and body, so kids can run better “programs” for learning, moving, and thriving. It’s a gentle but powerful part of sensory-based OT that can help unlock a child’s full potential.
If you still have additional questions, please email your therapist at THEIR FIRST NAME @ sproutandthrive.com
