MNRI · Reflex Integration

When a child is stuck,
it's not that they aren't trying

Many struggles with emotion, movement, and learning come from unintegrated primitive reflexes in the nervous system. MNRI helps the brain finish that unfinished work.

WHAT IS MNRI

What is MNRI?

MNRI (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) was developed by neuropsychologist Dr. Svetlana Masgutova and is now used in over 50 countries worldwide.

In one sentence: everyone is born with a set of primitive reflexes — the most basic language between brain and body. When these reflexes aren't fully integrated, a child's emotions, movement, and learning get stuck. MNRI isn't about drilling a child through repetition; it uses precise sensory stimulation and movement guidance to help the nervous system finish that unfinished work, so the brain relearns how to work correctly.

Non-invasive

Entirely through tactile stimulation and gentle movement guidance — no medication, safe for all ages

Parents can join in

Many techniques can be learned and done at home, becoming the most practical tool in daily care

Evidence-based

Grounded in neuroscience and reflex research; has helped children with ASD, ADHD, CP and more

CHANGES

What changes can MNRI bring?

Many parents have observed the following improvements after sessions

More stable emotions

Less anxiety, fewer meltdowns, better self-regulation

Better focus

Longer attention span, improved learning engagement and memory

Better sleep

Easier to fall asleep, deeper sleep, better overall energy

Movement & writing

Improved fine and gross motor coordination, smoother writing

Language progress

Clearer comprehension and expression, more willingness to communicate

Tactile tolerance

Reduced tactile defensiveness, more open to hugs and touch

TECHNIQUES

Four core techniques

Open a card to see what each technique does

01Neurotactile IntegrationNEUROTACTILE INTEGRATIONA child must feel safe before they can learn

Through Embracing Squeeze and Stroking, it simulates the deep tactile input of amniotic fluid in the womb, helping the brain switch from defensive survival mode to learning and development mode. Especially effective for children with tactile over-sensitivity, emotional instability, and difficulty settling to sleep. Each application stays no longer than 10 seconds; parents can learn to do it at home.

02Fear Paralysis Reflex IntegrationFEAR PARALYSIS REFLEX INTEGRATIONRelease from deep freeze, regain courage and stability

Using a cha-cha-cha rhythm, light taps on specific body points (sternum, end of deltoid, hip) help the nervous system release from a Freeze response. Effectively reduces severe anxiety, sensory over-sensitivity, and low immunity. No more than 2 sessions per week; safe for parents to learn as home support.

03Archetype Movement IntegrationARCHETYPE MOVEMENT INTEGRATIONRebuild the brain's most primal neural circuits

Addresses foundational movement patterns that begin developing in the fetal stage, including trunk extension, spinal rotation, and automatic gait — eight core movements. Simultaneously improves motor coordination, focus, language, and emotional stability, and is the foundation for higher cognitive learning. Suitable for all ages and also ideal for athletes seeking peak performance.

04Hand Reflex IntegrationHAND REFLEX INTEGRATIONThe neural basis for writing, grasping, and learning

By training the Robinson Hands Grasp and Hands Pulling reflexes, it not only improves pencil grip and writing but also builds understanding and mastery at the cognitive level and persistence at the emotional level. Especially effective for children with writing difficulties and poor fine motor skills.
