Primitive Reflexes Influence on Eye Alignment & Body Function: What to Look for & How to Treat
Speaker: Karen Pryor, PhD, PT, DPT, CH, CFPS
Duration: 2 Hours
Format: Audio and Video

Description

Nervous system damage and challenges require neuroplasticity tools to place reflexes in the background. And, the solution to increasing progress requires neurological interventions, such as implementing sensory exercises – since all children learn through sensation.  This 2-hour lecture gives you a new perspective on how to enter the midbrain and brainstem with sensory information to assist in rewiring around impairments for improved motor and learning outcomes through Neuroplasticity techniques.

This course will show you how to:  

✔ Recognize the cause of primitive reflexes and treat them 

✔ Find primitive reflexes that influence active movements, successful suck and swallow, rolling, coming to sitting and balance and learn to promote developmental milestones 

✔ Locate hidden reflex patterns that will affect higher-level skills later 

✔ Learn the “Color Clock” ©karenpryor2021 for eyes and tongue to assist integration at the cranial nerve level 

✔ And more!

Watch Dr. Karen Pryor as she shows you how to identify significant reflexes, and easy to understand integration techniques as well as tips for a smooth conversion to home programs.
