Reflex Integration

What is reflex integration?

Therapists at Solaris Pediatric Therapy are highly trained in MNRI and QRI reflex integration methods to facilitate sensory-motor and emotional development in children. 

Primary movements and reflex patterns are key elements of human development, and many reflexes are essential for survival during periods of danger or stress. They’re neurological building blocks of learned skills and movements, including:

• Cognitive skills
• Behavior patterns
• Motor development
• Coordination skills
• Other primary reflexes

With some children, life events that occur before, during, or after birth can affect reflex patterns, reducing their ability to function effectively. 

For example, with stress or an injury, kids can revert back to using infant reflexes and experience abnormal movement patterns, immature movement patterns, and intellectual disturbances. Treatment at Solaris Pediatric Therapy can help your child overcome these challenges.

What are the benefits of reflex integration?

The reflex integration at Solaris Pediatric Therapy offers:

• Integration of infant dynamic and postural reflexes
• Tactile integration
• Facial reflex integration
• Auditory and visual improvements
• Archetype movement
• Breathing reflex restoration and integration

Reflex integration is often beneficial for children with learning disabilities, autism, and cerebral palsy. Your child’s personalized treatment plan is based on the type and severity of their physical, mental, emotional, or social struggles.

Which reflex integration solutions are available?

Reflex integration solutions available at Solaris Pediatric Therapy include:

Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI)

MNRI treatment is a gentle and effective approach that facilitates sensory-motor and emotional development. It uses innate reflex patterns to stimulate neural development.

Quantum Reflex Integration (QRI)

QRI uses low-level laser therapy to achieve reflex integration and regulate your child’s nervous system. Low-level lasers, or cold lasers, penetrate the skin without heating or damaging it. This increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) within cells, stimulates cell mitochondria, and promotes muscle and tissue healing.

Which reflex integration strategy is right for my child?

The Solaris Pediatric Therapy team develops a custom treatment plan for your child based on their needs. They review your child’s medical history and discuss social, cognitive, and behavioral goals. Your provider completes a comprehensive evaluation to choose an effective reflex integration strategy for your child.
