| What is Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT)? |
|
RMT looks at the role of developmental movements that babies naturally make
RMT looks at how these movements are crucial in laying down the foundations for neural network pathway growth and myelinisation in the brain, and its effect on learning as we grow and develop, and come to rely on the lifelong postural reflexes. RMT works with integrating the retained, or underdeveloped, infant reflexes that are involved in learning challenges such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, writing problems, focussing and comprehension challenges, co-ordination difficulties and Asperger's Syndrome. RMT has also been successful in working with people with anxiety, panic, emotional imbalances, behavioural problems, schizophrenia, Parkinson's, psychosis and general overwhelm. RMT replicates the developmental movements associated with the infant reflexes. We also use gentle isometric pressure to bring awareness to the body, which assists in releasing the stress and learned patterns of behaviour. RMT looks at the whole. We do not fix or diagnose. We encourage and draw out the potential of the person. Many RMT consultants use a combination of reflex checks, noticing and the kinesiology technique of muscle checking to ascertain how the imbalances and learning challenges have affected the person; and, then to establish best way to promote integration. |
