When primitive reflexes like STNR, ATNR, and Moro are still active, it’s not just “tight muscles.” It’s the nervous system holding onto patterns it was supposed to let go of. Today we’re using movement, targeted laser therapy, and brainstem work to help Kai’s body start letting go. 🧠 Violet light over T1 helps increase blood flow to the cerebellum, fueling coordination and reflex integration. 🎯 We’re opening up his low back, hips, and neck to reduce reflexive tension and support efficient move

How strong are ATNR and STNR? Quick scale: slight arm drop = 1, halfway = 2, full drop or face to floor = 4. A 1 to 1.5 means we can start vestibular work and gently add convergence training 👀⚖️ Eye drift often points to upper brainstem, while Moro and TLR sit lower, so sequence matters. Calm the lower reflexes, then build vestibular and eye teaming for smoother control. DM “Help” and my team will get on touch. Need support for your child?

Integrating the STNR reflex: First watch my reflex highlights at the top of my page and start with integrating the TLR reflex. ~ The STNR reflex helps your infant learn to move the top half and the bottom half of their body independently from each other. The symmetrical tonic neck reflex is commonly referred to as the “crawling reflex” because it allows your baby to make the transition from lying down to getting up on their hands and knees. ~ The integration of the STNR is reliant on the head po

In this video, we worked on improving an overactive STNR reflex that caused her arms to collapse under pressure. Using low-level laser, vagal nerve stimulation, NeuroSAGE, and targeted exercises, she made incredible progress in just two weeks. We help kids of all ages reach real results!

It’s all because of a retained reflex called the STNR - symmetrical tonic neck reflex. It’s a reflex that splits the body in half from top and bottom, and it helps to allow babies to learn to crawl forward. When it doesn’t integrate, or mature, that leaves the person’s body movements at the mercy of what their head, neck, and eyes are doing. It’s extremely exhausting! It can be 10 times harder for people with this reflex retained to copy from the board, sit properly in a chair, ride a bike, etc.
