RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT TRAINING (RMTi) WORKSHOPS

Heidi teaches the Rhythmic Movement Training International (RMTi) 1 & 2 classes to help therapists, teachers, parents and other helpers to understand about the importance of integrating primitive reflexes and the importance in helping to mature the nervous system. For more information about RMTi please see: https://rhythmicmovement.org/

The following is included in the training:

RMTi Level One (2 Days) Focus, Organization & Comprehension

Learning Outcomes: How rhythmic movements assist in integrating reflexes; Why this is important; and what to do to stimulate brain connections for increased impulse control, attention, balance, coordination, stamina and learning. Some of the topics include:

  • How RMT builds neuro-sensory-motor foundations for focus & higher level learning  
  • Basics in brain development for learning, attention and comprehension
  • Ways to identify developmental imbalances
  • Information on a selection of reflexes involved in laying the foundations for focus and comprehension – Tonic Labyrinthine (TLR); Landau; Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR); Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (STNR); Spinal Galant; Amphibian; Infant Palmar and Babinski reflexes
  • Methods for integrating primitive reflexes
  • The 17 foundational RMT passive and active movements, isometric pressure and other movements

 

RMTi Level Two (1 Day) Emotions, Memory & Behaviour

Learning Outcomes: Learn effective RMT techniques for integrating developmental reflexes that are crucially important for sensory integration as well as social and emotional maturity. Some topics include: 

  • Methods for integrating Fear Paralysis Reflex (FPR), Moro Reflex & Babkin Reflex
  • Attack and defense behavior and the Tendon Guard Reflex (TGR)
  • How to release muscle tension & emotional upset
  • Movements to release anxiety & stored emotional & physical tension
  • Ways to support people with SPD & ASD
  • Precautions & possible reactions/& contraindications

What People are Saying about RMT:



“The changes in my son were immediate and profound. After the very first RMT session of approximately 2 minutes of RMT my son slept soundly through the night with no cry-outs and woke up easily and happily for the very first time! I am proud to have been able to give my son some simple and fun tools (which are easily implemented into a busy daily routine) to be able to face his future with confidence and joy.”

"What I like about RMT is that it is very specific in its testing procedures and in a variety of techniques to use to help integrate the reflex. It cuts down my testing and program planning time, which gives me more time for actual treatment. It is also possible for individuals and families to carry out at home without a huge time commitment or additional equipment and is based on the activities that all human beings integrate their own reflexes. Other reflex inhibiting activities that I have known have not focused on the rhythmicity needed for the cerebellum to network and integrate. I am using RMT as it is complementing my other treatment modalities for sensory integration quite nicely."

"Our daughter had long standing emotional, social, sensory and attention challenges. The Rhythmic Movement Training helped immensely with these issues. She is much happier and healthier and we are so grateful to see her blossoming."

"RMT absolutely ROCKED our lives as we found huge growth for my son, when nothing else seemed to help!"
R. M., Nebraska
"I was in a very serious car accident 40 years ago and the AC joint separated and was never fixed and my neck was injured. As a result, for 40 years I could not lift my head up from a supine position (had to use my hands to get up the first 30 degrees). In RMT Level 2 we did the Moro integration which requires lifting the head. I had someone help me do it. After doing the series of isometrics twice, I felt a shift internally. On time #3, I requested to try myself. I could do it. 40 years of no sensation for lifting, and I could do it in 3 minutes of reflex work. Mostly it has held, and the few times it went back, I did the isometrics again and in one go it was back "on."
