RMT THERAPY FOR THE INTEGRATION OF PRIMITIVE REFLEXES AND NEUROSENSORY DEVELOPMENT:

The Koala Approach is a bilingual (french or english) counselling service for children that has been proving its worth since 2017 by bringing together the best tools available to date to provide practical help with all kinds of challenges and difficulties (ASD, ADD, hypersensitivity, anxiety, motor skills, emotions, etc.).

The approach is based on the integration of primitive reflexes through rhythmic movement therapy (RMT), yoga, educational advice, responding to basic needs, and nature!

RMT (Rhythmic Movement Training) is a unique sensorineural therapy that has its origins in the early 1980s on the work of Kerstin Linde, a Swedish movement therapist who developed the first rhythmic movement exercises by observing motor patterns. repetitive to young children. Her work was then validated and developed by the clinical work of Dr. Harald Blomberg, psychiatrist, then by that of Moira Dempsey, a remarkable kinesiologist of international reputation and founder of RMTI (Rhythmic Movement Trainiing International).


The method is now taught to all kinds of professionals (chiropractors, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, osteopaths and others) all over the world. It was created to promote the integration of fierce primitive reflexes in children.


It was founded to support in a holistic, positive and completely natural way babies or children with challenges of all kinds (irritability, sleep, anxiety, postures, language, writing, learning, hypersensitivity, ADD, ASD, motor skills, emotions, etc.).


This practice is growing in more than 27 countries and is of interest to a growing number of health professionals.


The approach consists of giving the body soft and pleasant rhythmic cradles in different positions that imitate the sequences of "reflex" and spontaneous movements of infants and very young children. These movements take place directly on the floor, on a yoga mat or on a chiropractic / massage therapy table. These sequences are fundamental in the development of the young baby because it is they which will make it possible to trace, step by step, all the neuronal connections of the brain that the child and then the adult will need to function optimally in the world. Motor and postural control, emotional, visual and language development and cognitive skills among others effectively depend to a large extent on neuronal networking acquired through sensory stimulation of reflexes.


We quickly understand the impact that the different forms of interference that the baby may have encountered, thus preventing him from performing certain sequences of reflex movements in sufficient quantity to obtain an optimal neuronal connection: for example the child who has not been carried enough in the arms, who has little or no crawling or who has little or no crawling. Thanks to cerebral plasticity which allows the brain to be able to continue neuronal connections, even in adulthood, the RMT method makes it possible to target and then reproduce possible “missed” movements.

The method also integrates other proven techniques such as isometric pressures, stretching, tapping or visual training for example. The objective of this global training aims at the stimulation then the maturation and the balancing of the primitive reflexes of the early childhood and allow the baby or the child (or even the adult) to develop neuronal connections and internal resources. deep and effective.

Dr. Freud has been Assistant Professor of Anatomy in the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University since 1999. He lectures  Adjusting the Brain  internationally since 2010 on concussion management and the application of functional neurology.

Dr Freud also holds a  Bachelor of Science (High Distinction) in Anatomy and Psychology of  McGill University , a doctorate in chiropractic (very high distinction) from  Parker University in Dallas , Texas and a Chiropractic Neurology (Very High Distinction) degree from  the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières.  

  He completed training in Functional Neurology of  Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies  for the treatment of concussions, vestibular conditions, movement disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders. He has served as an examiner for the ACNB and has also helped establish educational programs in Chiropractic Neurology in Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.

He runs the Freud Clinic, in which he generously integrated me into the team, in Montreal, and you can join him at:
