Neuro-Sensory-Motor Integration of Reflexes

Neuro-Sensory-Motor Integration of Reflexes can be used successfully for children and adults with:

Is a Support through movement and perception 

 

Who can benefit from body and perception work :

  • Someone who has difficulty with controlling their body: struggles with jumping, running, holding a pencil or spoon
  • Is overactive or, on the contrary, often tired and distracted
  • Born with special developmental needs
  • Sometimes loses control of his/her body (e.g., when suddenly tense or jerky)
  • Learns new skills more slowly than peers
  • Is often anxious, withdrawn, or has difficult emotions
  • Repeats movements or sounds, is irritable or resilient
  • Starts talking late, speaks slurred or stutters
  • Has difficulty perceiving what he sees or hears
  • Has difficulty eating, chewing or swallowing
  • Is recovering from illness or age-related changes, affecting memory and movement

This approach helps a person to feel more confident in their body, concentrate better, communicate, learn and be in touch with themselves and the world in general.

Appointment for therapy

The impact of practice-based education on the body and brain:

  • Optimization the 3-dimentional symmetry of the body, and the protective response of the whole body and the stress resilience. 
  • Emotional development and behavior patterns (tendency for overprotection, emotional instability, poor emotional maturation, ADHD, aggression, fears)
  • Cognitive development (delay of language development, poor memory)
  • Core mechanisms correlating with the protection and survival
  • Release the non-productive protection tendencies at the somatic level, and to make new possibilities for experiencing positive protection, supplying the feelings of comfort and balance
  • Improves immunity system
  • Activates natural genetics resources of the brain and the whole systems of the body (self-regenerating)
  • Building the neuro-senso-motor basis for motor coordination and postural control
  • Regulates the tone of mussels 
  • Activates the awareness of the body processes and provides a feeling of safety for interaction with the world ( the World is OK and I’m OK)

Dr Svetlana Masgutova is the researcher and creator of the MNRI® Reflex Integration programme. This programme is based on her ideas, personal and professional experience and the results of many years of work with children and adults.

 

Due to the effectiveness of the techniques and research, Dr Masgutova has also begun to use neurophysiologically based tactile integration in her work with people with sensory-motor deficits and various developmental problems. This programme can be used with people of all ages and symptoms as a method of improving their sensorimotor integration, intellectual, social and emotional development, and as an anti-stress programme following trauma. The MNRI® Tactile Neurointegration Programme is presented by MNRI® certified trainers and practitioners in many countries around the world.


Method uses reflex patterns to awaken the sensorimotor genetic memory and enable the nervous system to restore deficient functions more quickly and easily. This can include body movement (inability to walk, poor functioning), vision (poor eye tracking and vestibular eye capacity), hearing (poor decoding of words affecting comprehension), concentration, memory recall, thought processes, emotional and behavioural regulation and much more.

The MNRI® programme has proven to be very effective in helping neurotypical people who need support to achieve their goals (sports, learning, competition, business, etc.). We have also seen very significant results in working with children and adults with neurological deficits and learning difficulties. 

Neuro-Tactile Integration MNRI®

The terms “tactile sensitivity” (hypersensitivity) and “tactile insensitivity” (poor or no sensation) are used to characterise sensory processing problems, which can range from mild, moderate to severe. Tactile insensitivity with the most extreme sensory registration causes distress in daily life.

Possible signs of poor tactile perception and discrimination may include, but are not limited to, the following:

– Difficulty in identifying the characteristics of an object by touch – shape, size, texture, temperature, weight, etc.

– Feeling objects in order to explore them after the age of 2 years

– Difficulties with using silverware, scissors, crayons, etc.

– Difficulties with fine motor skills, e.g. buttoning buttons, zips and clothing.

– Inability to identify the part of the body being touched in the absence of visual contact

– Anxiety or fear of the dark

– Identifies as sloppily dressed; looks dishevelled, doesn’t notice trousers rolled up, shirt half unbuttoned, shoes not tied, one trouser leg up and one down, etc.

– Inability to identify objects by touch, has to rely on sight when reaching across a table or backpack to retrieve an object.

– Avoids friendly touch from anyone other than parents, family members or close friends

– Avoids playing with sand, water, glue, glitter, plasticine, etc.

– Avoids dirty hands or wants to wash hands frequently

– Extremely afraid of tickling

– Constantly looking for some type of stimulus (texture, temperature)

– Lack of caution with dangerous objects such as knives, sharp, hot and cold objects.

When a person is hypersensitive and feels the need for tactile sensations more than usual, they may feel more intense, possibly dangerous pressure from objects such as sharp edges, scissors, knives, broken glass, prolonged spinning in circles, a desire to touch everything around them, or a misplaced desire for comfort from a certain type of texture.

When a person is overly sensitive to touch, it can be compared to the intensely sensitive sensation experienced by nerves when touching a painful wound or an irritating cut on the skin. Over-sensitivity causes a person to feel the sensation intensely, whereas it is usually not as intense in people with normal tactile sensitivity. In addition, people with this oversensitivity do not get used to the sensation, no matter how many times they have been exposed to the same quality (texture, pressure, temperature). Such a person may feel bombarded daily with a flood of overwhelming and unpleasant sensory experiences.

The skin is closely connected to internal organs such as connective tissue, adrenal glands and endocrine glands. Nervous and vascular reactions begin in the skin. The German scientist S. Schmidt said that the skin is the largest gland of the human internal system.
