Balanced Brain ~ Thriving Child

Kim Lowack

Palmer Reflex Exercise Training

Next Lesson

Equipment: Stick-end of the paintbrush

alternate tool: end of a knitting needle or crochet hook

Technique: Quick X strokes to the palm such as you would strike a match

Frequency:

  • 1-2 x daily
  • R brain weakness: 10 quick X strokes on the Right palm and 20 on the Left palm
  • L brain weakness: 10 X strokes on the Left palm and 20 on the Right palm
  • Global Delay - begin with R brain protocol above (we will discuss when and if you move to the left side)

Active reflex reactions:

  • twitch in the hand or fingers
  • curling of fingers or thumb toward the palm
  • rubbing or scratching the hand during or after brush strokes
  • pulling entire arm away

Scoring:

  • 4: more than 75% of strokes react
  • 3: 50-75% react
  • 2: 25-50% react
  • 1: less than 25% react
  • 0: zero reaction to strokes = INTEGRATION

Integration has occurred when you get zero reactions during all brush strokes
