Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT)

Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT) is based on the developmental movements that infants make in their first year. Dr. Harald Blomberg, a Swedish psychiatrist, developed RMT over 25 years ago and has been using it successfully to treat people with learning disabilities and developmental disabilities in Europe ever since.

If you’ve seen a baby in a crib, you have probably seen them doing little rocking, rhythmic movements. Those movements are hard-wired into the baby’s brain (primitive reflexes) and are essential for healthy brain development. By using similar movements at a later age, kids and adults can build new neural pathways or nerve nets in their brains, increasing the speed and efficiency of their brain.

All babies are born with primitive reflexes. Primitive reflexes are what make a baby begin to raise its head, roll over, put things in its mouth, rock on its hands and knees, crawl, and eventually walk. Sometimes babies skip one of these developmental milestones, causing problems later in life. RMT was developed to help people overcome these problems and live life to the fullest.
