MNRI® Reflex Neuromodulation Protocol for Concussion Recovery

MNRI® Reflex Neuromodulation Protocol for Concussion Recovery

Course Description:

Theory of Concussion 

  • Reflex definition, functions of a reflex and its role in concussion. Advanced information and continuation, based on Introductory class.
  • The negative effects of concussion on reflex functions, the extrapyramidal and the pyramidal system.
  • Advanced theory of concussion (30 min) 
  • Shaken Baby Syndrome - an infant concussion and reflexes (1,5 hours) 

 2. MNRI® Reflex Integration: Concept and Stages of post-concussion recovery (4 hours) 

 3. MNRI® research: Reflex Profile in post-concussion before and after the MNRI® Program

  • Brain mapping and Neurotransmitters analysis results in individuals with concussion before and after the MNRI® Reflex Integration Program. Advanced information based on group study. (1 hour)

 4. The role of reflexes in concussion and post-concussion (30 min) 

 5. MNRI® Reflex Integration Advanced Protocol for post-concussion (8 hrs) 

Learner Objectives 

The student will be able to: 

  • obtain and show advanced knowledge about the role and importance of reflexes during trauma injury and post-concussion;
  • explain conditions and reflex protective mechanisms that should be recognized in the presence of persistent symptoms;
  • describe typical regress/progress of reflex and brain functioning in post-concussion; 
  • describe stages of acute and post-concussion trauma effects;
  • categorize different challenges related to traumatic brain injury and utilizing essential reflexes for improvement and recovery from the concussion symptoms;
  • show the knowledge of exercises and techniques of “10 stones” and Reflex Protocol;
  • demonstrate skills and MNRI® techniques for post-concussion recovery utilization in practical work;
  • individualize the MNRI® Post-Concussion protocol to the needs, challenges and age of the client.
