Reflex Integration

The Masgutova Method (MNRI® ​Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) incorporates a variety of gentle body work techniques and simple easy movements to awaken neuro-sensorimotor connections for proper primitive reflex integration.

The Masgutova techniques emphasize stimulating neuro-motor and sensorimotor points on the body by:

• Releasing congestion and muscular tension throughout the body
• Stimulating the proprioceptive system
• Opening up communication among the muscles, tendons and ligaments
• Adjusting receptors of deep touch and pressure
• Stretching the trunk and limbs
• Rotating the joints

Besides the Masgutova Method, there are other methods of reflex integration such as:

• Rhythmic movement
• Brain and Sensory Foundations
• Brain Balance
• Quantum Reflex Integration
• Neurodevelopmental movement
• Others

Parents should know that most pediatric occupational therapists are not trained in reflex integration and do not use it in their practices. In our opinion, it is best to work on reflex integration before having more traditional sensory integration occupational therapy done for your child.

However, it can be difficult to find a therapist who does reflex integration in your area, so you might need to attend a special clinic in another location for your child. Read more about reflex integration here.

FREE WEBINAR: MNRI® ​Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration​

We will be interviewing Svetlana Masgutova PhD and Kathryn Carr about the MNRI® Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration.

Wednesday, September 27th, 2023 at 1:00pm Eastern

Dr. Masgutova's life’s work is the Masgutova Method, also known as MNRI® ​(Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration). In this webinar, Dr. Masgutova and her biographer, Kathryn Carr, will help us to answer the following questions:

• What are primitive reflexes?
• What are common causes of retained reflexes?
• How does trauma, including birth trauma, contribute to retained reflexes?
• What is MNRI®?
• How does MNRI® help to reduce symptoms in children with neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism, ADHD, SPD, developmental delays and learning disabilities?
• What are some examples of improvements in children who have undergone MNRI® therapy?
