Reflex Repatterning

The MNRI® Reflex Repatterning program uses specialized exercises to activate sensory receptors and motor responses, helping to create stronger neurological pathways for everyday functioning. A key feature of these programs is using "regressive-progressive" repatterning techniques designed to "remind" the brain-body system of its natural neurosensorimotor programs. This process involves revisiting the original, innate form of a reflex (regressive) and using it as a foundation for further development (progressive). By activating precise motor patterns alongside sensory or proprioceptive stimulation, the brain is guided back to its genetic blueprint, allowing neural pathways to rebuild and mature through neuroplasticity.

These repatterning exercises are highly effective and have consistently reproducible results, supporting the integration of reflexes at any age or neurological stage. By improving reflex patterns that are dysfunctional, immature, or non-integrated, MNRI® therapy strengthens gross and fine motor coordination, posture, and emotional regulation. Children gain better control over their movements and responses, improving their behavior, learning, and social engagement.

However, successful implementation requires a deep understanding of human sensory and motor development, as well as thorough MNRI® training for practitioners. By addressing the root of reflex dysfunction, MNRI® repatterning facilitates brain-body integration and promotes lasting neurological progress across physical, emotional, and cognitive domains.
