Reflex Integration Therapy (MNRI®)

MNRI® Reflex Integration Therapy

Supporting Posture, Movement, Speech & Learning Through Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration

At CDC Hyderabad, our certified and trained therapists provide Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI®) to help children overcome challenges caused by unintegrated or retained primitive reflexes. These reflex patterns, present from birth, form the foundation for a child’s posture, movement, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and learning. When these reflexes remain active beyond early childhood, they can interfere with a child’s daily activities and development.

MNRI® therapy helps reorganize the nervous system, improve the brain–body connection, and support natural developmental patterns.

Why Do Retained Primitive Reflexes Matter?

Primitive reflexes such as Moro, ATNR, STNR, TLR, Palmar Grasp, Landau, and others play a vital role in infant development. When these reflexes remain active, children may experience:

• Poor balance and coordination

• Difficulty sitting still or focusing

• Poor handwriting or fine motor skills

• Delayed speech clarity or articulation challenges

• Emotional outbursts or sensory overload

• Clumsiness or poor body awareness

• Difficulty following instructions

• Learning struggles (reading, writing, copying from the board)

MNRI® helps the nervous system integrate these reflexes effectively.
