Archetype Reflex Movement Integration

«Back To MNRI® Programs

Archetype Reflex Movement Integration Program techniques work to activate and engage archetype movements that, for various reasons, have remained dormant in the body. Archetype reflex movements, less complex in nature than motor reflex patterns or schemes, are among the first motor reflexes to develop and emerge. Once engaged, archetype reflex movements remain present and active in the body, allowing normal range and flexibility of motion while providing support, balance, and stability for the upper and lower, left and right, and front and back parts of the body. Archetype motor reflex movements also play a subordinate role in the maturation and integration of progressively more complex reflexes, including primary motor reflex patterns, motor reflex schemes, and the development of learned motor skills. If an archetype movement is not appropriately engaged, its impact can be great given the subordinate role it plays in maturation and development. We encourage parents and professionals interested in learning more about the MNRI Method and its various programs to attend this course early on, given the fundamental role it plays in overall development. Summarized below are of the reflexes addressed by the MNRI Archetype Reflex Movement Program techniques.
