Here’s a more reader-friendly version with bullet points for clarity:

The MNRI® NeuroStructural Integration Program, created by Dr. Masgutova, focuses on improving posture, alignment, and stability by addressing the body’s structural system and the Tendon Guard Response (TGR).

What is the Tendon Guard Response (TGR)?

The TGR is a full-body protective reaction that involves tendons, muscles, and joints working together to support movement and flexibility. It spans from the big toe to the back of the head, activating during both protection and learning phases:

  • Red Light TGR: Engages a “freeze” or “pause” mode to support rest, learning, and observation.

  • Green Light TGR: Activates the fight-or-flight response for protection and mobilization.

Program Goals

  • Improve posture, core strength, and stability by addressing neuromotor and structural imbalances.

  • Support the integration of reflexes related to alignment, balance, and movement patterns.

Techniques Used

  • Gentle, hands-on methods to stimulate and support optimal joint alignment, muscle tone, and skeletal structure.

Benefits Observed

  • Improved posture and alignment, reducing compensatory movement patterns.

  • Increased strength and endurance for daily activities.

  • Enhanced motor control, coordination, and balance.

  • Reduced discomfort associated with musculoskeletal imbalances.

Integration with Other MNRI® Programs

  • Complements other MNRI® protocols by addressing the structural system that supports reflex integration.

  • Ensures both the structural and functional aspects of movement are strengthened for comprehensive development.
