The Masgutova Method

A Brief Overview

"The first infant movements do not disappear;
they continue to work in union with higher nervous formations…"

L.S. Vigotsky, outstanding Russian psychologist (1930).

The Masgutova Method of Neuro-Sensory-Motor and Reflex Integration is the restoration of neuro-development and the integration of primary movements, reflexes, coordination systems, and skills for optimal functioning, development, and learning. The Masgutova Method is based on the stimulation of reflex patterns in order to awaken sensory-motor memory, which positively affects cognitive, emotional, social and motor abilities. Benefits of Neuro-Sensory-Motor and Reflex Integration include the development of more mature movements, skills and intellectual processes.

Our Method involves natural, non-invasive movements that can be easily learned by parents, adults, and professionals who work with challenged individuals. These techniques complement other therapies.

The Masgutova Method includes these programs and courses:

  • The use of new knowledge in the field of neuro-sensory-motor integration for the analysis and organization of movement system development (levels, stages, mechanism, processes, strategies and structure)
  • The creation of programs of integration of primary movement systems with higher controlled movement patterns.
  • Integration of early primary movement systems (reflexes, rhythmic movements, natural coordination systems and skills)
  • Integration of Dynamic and Postural Infant Reflexes
  • Integration of Lifelong Reflexes and Reactions in Movement Development
  • Motor-sensory and sensory-motor integration enhancement

These programs are utilized by a group of professionals who have specialized and trained in the Masgutova Method of Neuro-sensory-motor Reflex Integration (MNRI)

Goals and Purposes of the Masgutova
Neuro-Sensory-Motor Reflex IntegrationMethod

    • To develop and promote the knowledge about Neuro-Sensory-Motor Integration and other programs on Movement Development as the most natural, non-invasive, holistic and facilitating methods.
    • To make the said programs available to professionals and lay people in different countries for support of primary motor development and positive personal development and achievements for themselves and their families.
    • To supply a continuous professional education on approved programs on Masgutova Neuro-sensory-motor Reflex Integration™ and Neuro-Motor Development.
    • To develop high quality standards for teaching and educational therapy programs.
    • To lead the research projects and programs on natural development and learning.
    • To organize and develop publication on Neuro-sensory-motor and Neuro-Motor Development and Reflex Integration and other holistic programs based on stimulation of natural, genetic motor recourses.
    • To build perspective contacts with state and private Universities, Academies, Institutes, Centers and other organizations worldwide in order to supply traditional schools with new knowledge and research projects.
    • To develop/maintain contacts with International organizations and professionals interested in programs of natural and holistic development.
    • To train Instructors to teach the curricula on Masgutova Neuro-sensory-motor Reflex Integration - MNRI™ and other Neuro-Motor Development programs.
    • To analyze and approve courses and different projects on the Neuro-sensory-motor Reflex Integration and Neuro-Motor Development. To set quality standards for the teaching of said programs.
    • To organize a consultant and educational therapy work for children, adults and professionals.
