RETAINED NEONATAL REFLEX (RNR)
Like a tree has to have solid foundations (roots), our brain and nervous system has to be able to allow us to survive before we can think our way through the world. In all our bodies intelligence we are thus born with primitive reflexes that help us in the birthing process, to feed, attract attention, grab onto things and to keep us safe. These reflexes then integrate and allow our forebrain to develop and take over more control of our behaviour and thinking. Just like the root of a tree, the reflexes are always there, just hidden but vital for the tree to grow to its amazing potential.
However, due to birth trauma or developmental restrictions these reflexes might remain dominant. This means that your nervous system will automatically react inappropriately and undesirably in certain situations. This will adversely affect your development, learning and behaviour. This is a Retained Neonatal Reflex (RNR). We have detailed a few of the retained reflexes below. Sprouting Health has Certified Retained Neonatal Reflexes Practitioners in our Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Mackay clinics. |
