When primitive reflexes like STNR, ATNR, and Moro are still active, it’s not just “tight muscles”—it’s the nervous system holding onto patterns it was supposed to let go of. Today we’re using movement, targeted laser therapy, and brainstem work to help Kai’s body start letting go. 🧠 Violet light over T1 helps increase blood flow to the cerebellum—fueling coordination and reflex integration. 🎯 We’re opening up his low back, hips, and neck to reduce reflexive tension and support efficient moveme

Two very important reflexes to integrate are the STNR & ATNR. Generally they integrate between 6 and 12 months old. When they don’t integrate, we can see a variety of functional challenges, including things like learning disabilities, handwriting difficulty, poor posture, ocular motor deficits, left / right confusion, and even misdiagnosed for ADHD! You can see them clearly when they aren’t integrated when doing activities like these! While these integration activities aren’t the most functional

Is Your Child Clumsy? Let’s Check for the ATNR & STNR! 🧠🚸 If your kid seems quite clumsy or has Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), there are two key reflexes to check: the ATNR and STNR. These reflexes can interfere with coordination and slow down cerebellum development, which is crucial for managing DCD. ATNR Test 🔎 Position: Get your child on all fours. Head Movement: Turn their head to each side. Observe: If the elbows buckle, the ATNR reflex is active. STNR Test 🔎 Position: Keep
