Specificities of the method

The therapist begins by first of all making an assessment of the child's motor development. Then, to enable him to develop his body's ability to control his body, he will use three central notions: the muscle chain, reflex locomotion and spawning. The idea behind the term "muscle chain" is that a muscular action is never localized, but participates in a larger chain of muscular movements that diffuse through the body.

Reflex locomotion expresses the idea that the nervous system is capable of triggering global (involving all parts of the body) and coordinated movements when certain body points are stimulated. Finally, spawning is the fact that the passage of a nervous flow between synapses becomes easier by repeating itself. Thus, by repetitively provoking "reflex" movements involving muscle chains, the therapist will not only make these reflexes faster, but will also improve the flow of nerve flow between synapses, eventually allowing the brain to send the message controlling these movements directly to the muscles, without the need for stimulation.

​

​The neuro-physiological changes induced by spawning persist for some time after the work session, which is why the therapist trains the child's entourage to carry out the exercises, which must be repeated 3 to 4 times a day, in sessions of 15 to 20 minutes, in order to increase the frequency and duration of the effects.
