About the Therapies

1. DERMAL BRUSHING THERAPY

2. PRIMITIVE MOVEMENT THERAPY

3. RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT THERAPY

Getting started with NDT:

I look at each person individually and meet them where they are. I then design a program that specifically benefits them to do at home from 5-10 min once or twice a day, which may include one or more of the following therapies:

Dermal Brushing Therapy

The skin and brain come from the same embryological tissue, so the skin acts as a doorway into the brain and nervous system. After having a diagnostic assessment to see which Primitive Reflexes are still active and the degree to which they are still affecting the development of the brain and central nervous system, a protocol of gentle skin brushing is suggested twice a day.

This treatment is simple and effective and restarts wherever the development is stalled.

Primitive Movement therapy

Primitive Movement is another suggested treatment done at home, which takes around 5-10 min/day and is suitable for children ages 7 and up.

These relaxing movements are naturally done by newborns and young babies to encourage the Brain and Central Nervous system to mature, leading to lasting positive changes that can be seen emotionally, physically, and cognitively.

What is Rhythmic Movement therapy?

Rhythmic Movements are a series of movements based on what infants do in the early months after birth. This also can be done once or twice a day, accompanied by singing or music. These movements are gentle enough for babies and small toddlers yet effective for all ages. The exercises have a subtle yet powerful positive effect on the Neurodevelopmental maturing process.
