Moro Reflex Integration Part 2 of 2 (see previous video for Part 1) When a child has a retained Moro reflex, they often have an exaggerated startle response — their head throws back, arms and legs extend, and arms move out to the side when startled. In Part 2, we move into an upright seated position to further activate the muscles that help integrate the Moro reflex. Because the Moro reflex is triggered through neck extension, we introduce slow, controlled head extension followed by flexion to g

Moro Reflex Integration Part 1 of 2 When a child has a retained Moro reflex, they also have an exaggerated startle response. You might see their head suddenly throw back, arms and legs extend, and arms fly out to the side when startled. In this exercise, we help the child move into the opposite position of that reflex pattern: ✨ Bend the hips and knees ✨ Straighten the arms and bring them down by their sides ✨ Encourage a gentle chin tuck Our hand placement is intentional. By pressing gently int

Struggling with Moro Reflex Integration? Let’s Fix That! Isn’t it frustrating when people tell you how to identify a primitive reflex but not how to integrate it? Let’s change that. The Moro reflex, or startle reflex, should integrate early. If it doesn’t, kids can get stuck in a fight-or-flight response. This happened with a little boy in our session—every movement in the air triggered his Moro reflex, and he was so dysregulated he threw up. We had to change our approach. With insight from Bell

MORO REFLEX‼️Check Baby’s BRAIN DEVELOPMENT !! the Moro reflex (startle reflex) is a key part of assessing a newborn’s brain development, as its presence, strength, symmetry, and eventual disappearance signal a healthy central nervous system; however, an abnormal or absent reflex can indicate nerve injury or brain damage, requiring medical investigation. Pediatricians check it at birth and monitor its changes to ensure proper neurological function. What it indicates Normal: A normal Moro reflex
