What is Rhythmic Movement Training?
Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT) is a practice dedicated to bring integration and balance to children and adults with specific learning obstacles (including ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia), co-ordination difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorders and Parkinson's disease. In addition, it can benefit those with mild to severe emotional and behavioral challenges, anxiety and panic. RMT helps individuals learn to deal with daily stressors that can lead to feeling overwhelmed.
The practice evolved from studying the role of movements, including reflexes, that babies naturally make from in utero through walking. Kerstin Linde, the originator, and Dr. Harald Blomberg, the developer, modified these natural movements into exercises that provide an effective means of simultaneously stimulating tactile (touch), vestibular (balance and gravity) and proprioceptive (inner awareness of body) senses. This integration supports a strong flow of nerve impulses through the brainstem, limbic system and the frontal lobes -
three significant areas of brain activity.

Who can benefit from taking the courses?
These workshops are ideal for those in the fields of education, occupational and physical therapy, kinesiology, psychiatry and clinical psychology as well as parents and caregivers of children or adults with special needs or others interested in their own self-growth. The material taught in the course does not require previous knowledge of early development or movement training while still providing great learning for those with a depth of knowledge and experience.
