The Masgutova Method® is a set of programs focused on the restoration and maturation of primary movements, reflexes, coordination systems, skills for optimal performance of natural mechanisms, developmental processes, brain functioning, and sensory-motor integration. You can read more about Reflexes and MNRI HERE.

The Mission of the Svetlana Masgutova Educational Institute (SMEI) is to provide health, wellness and educational professionals, parents, and caregivers with non-invasive techniques to address maturational, developmental, and life challenges.


MNRI® NeuroTactile, Primary Motor and Reflex Integration (Advanced) 

  1. Describe the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI®) processes for activating the innate nature of the sensory-motor reflex. 
  2. Explain the NeuroTactile integration processes and activation of sensory-motor reflex patterns to alleviate negative physical and psychological effects of stress. 
  3. Explain the neurophysiological and psychological dynamics for the development of the tactile system. 
  4. Describe why the brain engages in protection/survival versus learning and development. 
  5. Describe the NeuroTactile strategy which optimizes the brainstem, relaxes the defensive reflexes, and opens the entire system for healthy cognitive, social, and motor development. 
  6. Explain the process of skin and tactility development from time in utero and the origins of the nervous, cardiovascular, and immune systems. 
  7. Describe the three layers of skin and how they affect the sensory processing and the development of the nervous system. 
  8. Explain how this program regulates the functions of different receptors and dermatomes in the skin and why this is important for cognitive development.
  9. Describe how skin receptors affect the neurophysiological bases for the development of the reflex arcs and circuits. 
  10. Explain how skin is the main organ for the sense of touch and how it is related to the healthy development of cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills.
  11. Describe the connection between the deep sensibility system and  proprioception with muscular system and motor control.
  12. Explain the neurophysiological functioning of the tactile system and its connection to the brain, spinal cord, and nerve network.
  13. Explain the Core flexion-extension mechanisms which correlate with the protection (freezing response -flexion) and survival (fight and flight - extension) strategies of the brain.
  14. Discuss how the HPA stress-axis and release of non-productive protection tendencies, optimizes the tactile sensation of the front and back of the body to maximize the primary motor coordination.
  15. Explain the Righting Reflex patterns (Stretch and Trunk Extension Reflex patterns) and its effects on learning.
  16. Explain the proper techniques of Rotational movements of limbs to create flexibility and the release of ligament guard response.
  17. Explain how homologous movements (to support bilateral links of the tactile system) serve for the Hands Pulling, Hands Grasp, and Hands Supporting reflex patterns and how it effects expressive language.
  18. Explain how homolateral movements support reflex patterns to activate one-sided motions,
  19. Describe how cross-lateral movements support reflex patterns activating movements crossing the body midline.
  20. Explain how primary tactility facilitates the neurodevelopmental mechanisms for productive learning of motor skills integration of the primary motor patterns to support positive cognitive development,
  21. Explain how the development of awareness of body processes and feelings of safety are necessary for interaction with the world, bonding with self and communicating with others.
  22. Explain how the release the non-productive protection tendencies on the somatic level, and to experience positive protection, regulate the HPA stress-axis work. 
  23. Demonstrate through supervised hands-on  exercises to implement MNRI® neuro-regulation techniques designed to assess, activate, and integrate challenged tactile systems: Greeting to Front and Sides of body, Arm and Leg segments, Rotations, Core, Head, and Back of Body.
  24. Describe how to create and apply an individual MNRI® program for clients with various neurodevelopmental deficits and learning challenges.
