This week on the #wednesdaywellbeing show I'm chatting about Neuro-development and much more with the amazing Niki McGlynn.
We discuss what a neurodevelopment therapist is and how neurodevelopment therapy can help you or your child.
Simply put, neurodevelopment therapy is a way of giving the brain and neurological system a second chance at development. When some of the developmental stages are missed, primitive reflexes don't get a chance to develop properly or develop and remain active when they should have gone away. A reflex is an action that the body has no conscious control over, such as closing your eyes when you sneeze. We are most familiar with the moro reflex in babies, when they startle and fling their arms wide, then cling and cry. Reflex movements, which start from 5 weeks in utero, build the nervous system, allow the brain and body to organise and develop so that eventually you can stand, move, think and function with ease.
When these processes don't develop as they should then problems can develop such as poor focus, balance, impulse control, anxiety, social interaction, reading and writing, sensory processing and other issues. Children then get labelled and lose their confidence. In many cases, all that is required is a reorganisation of the neurological system.
A neurodevelopment programme can be used as a stand alone therapy or can be used alongside any other programme or treatment.
Niki shares with us about the increadedible healing work she does. This show is an inspirational breath of fresh air with some increadedible advice not to be missed.
