MNRI® Introduction to Reflex Neuromodulation for Concussion Recovery

Course Description

MNRI® Introduction to Reflex Neuromodulation for Concussion Recovery explores the definition 
of concussion and the spectrum of traumatic brain injuries (TBI),  the causes, types and severity 
of TBI, and the effects of TBI on neurodevelopment and learning. Students will learn to recognize 
the signs of concussion and explore the MNRI® concept related to recovery from post concussion 
and will learn MNRI® techniques for post-concussion recovery.

PART A. PRERECORDED THEORY
Minds Lecture has this theory and serves as a prerequisite for the 1-day Concussion Class,
containing the following information:
  • Definition of Traumatic Brain Injury and Concussion as a brain injury.
  • Statistical information.
  • Causes of concussion.
  • Types of TBI.
  • Severity of TBI.
  • TBI General Symptoms.
  • Long term consequences.
  • Concussion as a type of traumatic brain injury: it’s effect on neurodevelopment and learning.
  • Symptoms of concussion.
  • Neurophysiology of concussion.
  • Reflexes in concussion and post-concussion:
    • How reflexes are negatively affected/damaged by concussion
    • How reflexes help to support the survival at concussion momentum and post-concussion period
  • Second Impact Syndrome (SIS) in post-concussion and reflexes.

PART B. ONLINE CLASS PRACTICAL INFORMATION AND PRACTICUM
  1. MNRI® concept of support/facilitation and recovery from post-concussion
  2. MNRI® research of the effect of Reflex functionality in post- concussion
    • Brain mapping results analysis in individuals with concussion before and after the MNRI®
      Reflex Training/Neuromodulation Program, based on case study.
    • Neurotransmitters analysis results in individuals with concussion before and after the MNRI®
      Reflex Training/Neuromodulation Program.
  3. Brief MNRI Reflex Integration Protocol for post-concussion 
  • Tools - protocol and exercises for 5 concussion “Stones”,
    • Concussion ‘Stone’ 1: Sensory Modalities– Vision, Auditory Recovery
    • Concussion ‘Stone’ 2: Motor System Coordination
    • Concussion ‘Stone’ 3: Reflex Blockage Release

  1. discuss definition of concussion and the spectrum of traumatic brain injuries
  2. describe the causes, types and severity of traumatic brain injuries
  3. discuss the effects of traumatic brain injury on neurodevelopment and learning
  4. recognize discuss signs and symptoms of concussion 
  5. describe the potential effects and sequelae of concussion on neurophysiology and reflex functions
  6. explain the MNRI concept related to recovery from post-concussion
  7. demonstrate 3-5 MNRI® techniques for post-concussion recovery
