Retained Primitive Reflex Corrections

Keep in mind these aren't ALL the primitive reflexes and that there are a number of different ways these can be tested & corrected. I have just assembled here some of the ways that I do it and what i think will give you the most important changes. Obviously the age of your child and their ability to cooperate has a bearing on how well you can actually DO any of these. Just try your best.
