The Primitive Reflexes help the unborn and young child develop and stay safe. As the baby's ability to control it's own actions increases the primitive reflexes integrate into the higher brains control centre. Trauma can cause these reflexes to remain into childhood and can also cause them to return in the older child or adult.
Using gentle pressure on specific areas of the skull the normal membrane/bone relationship and craniosacral movement can be restored and these reflexes can be reintegrated, removing the sometimes distressing symptoms they cause.
