Mary Bourke is a Newcastle (NSW, Australia) based chiropractor with qualifications in pediatric chiropractic care.
In this episode, Mary explains the nature of the primary reflexes, how they integrate during infant development and the importance of allowing the infant to meet and progress through these developmental ‘milestones’ for optimal childhood development.
When primary reflexes are retained, the outcome can be reflected in the older child or adult, often presenting as unusual habits or tendencies. It is not uncommon that these need to be addressed through a collaboration of allied health therapies.
