Retained Reflex Integration

Helping the Body Let Go of Patterns That No Longer Serve It

We’re all born with a set of primitive reflexes—automatic movements that help us survive infancy and kickstart development. But as we grow, these reflexes are meant to fade away, making room for more mature, intentional movement and control.

Sometimes, though, those reflexes hang around longer than they should—impacting how we move, focus, learn, or even how we feel in our own bodies. This is where retained reflex therapy comes in.

Through gentle, movement-based exercises and nervous system support, we help integrate these lingering patterns so the body can function with more ease and coordination.

This therapy is especially helpful for:

• Infants with feeding or regulation issues
• Kids who are anxious or easily overwhelmed
• Children struggling with handwriting, attention, or reading
• Sensory-seeking or avoidant behaviors
• Poor posture, toe walking, or low muscle tone
• Emotional dysregulation or difficulty with transitions
• Adults with chronic stress, jaw tension, or coordination issues

Retained reflexes are often an unseen piece of the puzzle. Addressing them can unlock new potential for physical, emotional, and cognitive development—at any age. When reflexes don’t resolve, they can hold the body back. This therapy blends movement, gentle stimulation, and patterning to support the body’s natural ability to mature and integrate.
