Unlock Your Child's Potential and Redefine Their Future

The BrainX Method, a bottom up approach to brain development

Targeted Movement Therapy

Our evidence-based / science backed method uses precise, purposeful movements to activate neural pathways essential for integrating primitive reflexes, strengthening sensory systems, and supporting postural development.

This allows the brain to adapt naturally and aligns to the optimal development to improved behaviour, emotional regulation, learning, and physical performance.

The Development Pyramid

Our Pyramid of Healthy Brain Development is the result of 25 years of research and clinical practice, designed to address the root causes of neurodevelopmental challenges

Mobile Development Pyramid showing layers from foundation Primitive Reflex Integration through Breathing, Nutrition, Tech/Screen, Sensory Motor Integration, Parenting, Cognitive Development, to Body Mind Balance at the top

By combining targeted brain development strategies with a nurturing environment, we help create lasting improvements in well-being and mental health.

The BrainX Method

A bottom-up approach to development

1

Primitive Reflex Integration

Primitive reflexes are automatic, early-life movement patterns essential for survival in infancy. If these reflexes remain active beyond early childhood, they will interfere with learning, behaviour and coordination.

We start by identifying and switching off these retained reflexes through MOVEMENT to form a solid foundation for higher brain function.

2

Sensory-Motor Integration and Mastering Our Environments

System Evaluation

We evaluate the sensory and motor systems to identify imbalances that affect development

We identify and address postural imbalances

This step matures neural networks, leading to improvements in focus, behaviour and learning

Lifestyle Factors

This stage addresses lifestyle factors that directly influence development and mental health:

  • • Optimising breathing practices
  • • Improving nutrition
  • • Limiting screen time
  • • Encouraging positive parenting techniques
3

Continual Cognitive Development

Continual cognitive development such as speech therapy, cognitive therapy, positive mindset will now have a big impact and help children to reach development goals.

The Results

Happier, better regulated and more confident children
Improved motor control and coordination
Better sensory integration
Enhanced emotional regulation
Faster information processing
Greater athletic performance

The Brain's Essential Building Blocks

Primitive reflexes are automatic movements present at birth that help newborns survive and develop.

Think of them as the brain's 'training wheels' – essential for early development but meant to be outgrown. Just as training wheels must eventually be removed for a child to ride independently, primitive reflexes should integrate (switch off) to allow more advanced skills to develop.

These reflexes form the foundation for all future learning and development. When they function properly and integrate on time, children can focus their energy on acquiring new skills.

When They Remain Active

Retained reflexes can interfere with your child's development in multiple areas:

  • Academic learning and concentration

    Difficulty focusing, reading, or writing

  • Physical coordination and balance

    Clumsiness, poor posture, or motor skills

  • Emotional regulation and social skills

    Anxiety, overwhelm, or social challenges

  • Sensory processing abilities

    Over or under-sensitivity to stimuli

The BrainX Method is more than a programme—it's a pathway to unlocking your child's potential.

Your Child's Brain Can Change

The most encouraging news: The brain's remarkable ability to form new connections means positive change is always possible.

Neuroplasticity in Action

With the right stimulation, retained reflexes can be integrated at any age. Our programmes harness this natural ability through specific, targeted movements that encourage the brain to complete the integration process it started in infancy.
