RMTi Kids Sessions
RMTi sessions are fun, relaxed and child-led. We respect that kids' bodies inherently know what they need to be working on and we facilitate that process. Kids often quickly become confident in directing their sessions and engaging with movements and activities.
Whether your child is an infant, toddler or school-aged, RMTi is a gentle method of effecting change in their most challenging areas whether postural, emotional, sensory or psychological.
Client History
Before the session we will ask you to complete a client information sheet as thoroughly as you are able. This details birth history, infant and child development and challenges noticed to date.
Reflex Screening
At the session we will observe your child in different positions and doing different actions to identify reflexes that are still active in your child's body.
RMTi Program
We will set-up a movement program on the spot and leave you equipped with the tools to continue home support regularly until your next session.
At Head Over Hills our method of reflex integration is underpinned by techniques and principles of Rhythmic Movement Training International (RMTi).
Rhythmic Movement Training is...
The movements in RMTi are rhythmical, very small and designed to replicate an infant's spontaneous movement patterns.
RMTi practice is based on the principle of less is more and working with the person, not on the person. The client is active in guiding and directing the process and movement.
RMTi requires home support of a movement program during the weeks between your sessions however, this usually amounts to no more than 2-3 minutes 4 times per week to begin with. Often clients begin with a home support program of just a few seconds of movement.
RMTi is a an effective tool when guided by a registered RMTi consultant. RMTi movements are carefully selected on an individual basis for each client after assessment. Despite their very subtle nature, the movements are extremely powerful and stimulating and care must be taken not to overwhelm the nervous system.
The RMTi movements can be modified and adapted for all abilities. For many people with neurological conditions, RMTi becomes a lifelong addition to their routine.
It is common for people to report seeing and feeling a shift after 2-4 weeks of commencing a RMTi program however RMTi is not a quick fix. It requires an extensive period of time to build permanence in the change experienced in the complex reflex system.
RMTi is suitable for all ages from infancy to elderly.
It is never too late to integrate!
