Blomberg RMT LEVEL 1

Rhythmic movement training and primitive reflexes 

Basic course

No previous knowledge required

In this 16 hour course you will learn the basics of Rhythmic Movement Training. 

During this two-day training you will learn the basics of Rhythmic Movement Training: how the rhythmic exercises can be used to regulate muscle tone, support balance, coordination and stability, stimulate the brain to improve attention, focus, control impulses and manage hyperactivity. 

In theory and practice you will learn how and why rhythmic movements and reflex integration can create space for play, learning and social interaction.

You will receive information about the most important primary reflexes that can interfere with development, and how you can integrate them through specific rhythmic movements. 

After this thorough class you will be able to start using the movements on yourself and your family as well as your clients. 

Blomberg RMT LEVEL 2

This 16 hour course enables us to work with movements to get in touch with our emotions, and to stabilize emotions when they threaten to take command.

The limbic system regulates memory, emotions, feelings of caring and affection. The rhythmic movements and reflex integration support the ability to distinguish the upper and lower body. This is important for the continuous development of imagination and creative ability. With stronger nerve connections in the central nervous system, the relationship between thoughts and feelings also improves. 

This course deals with reflexes that affect the emotions, stress and anxiety. 

The course also deals with reflexes that especially affect our emotions:  You learn what to do when people get strong emotional reactions to rhythmic movements.  It is a necessary tool for anyone who wishes to work with Rhythmic Movement Training.

Blomberg RMT LEVEL 3

Previous knowledge: Level 2 or Pain, part 2 

This 16 hour course deals with how our reading and writing ability is affected by various factors such as vision, articulation and motor skills. You will learn about cognitive, visual and auditory development and the cooperation between the two hemispheres. Dr. Blomberg lays out the theory about different types of dyslexic problems. We learn to test for non-integrated primitive reflexes and recognize other motor limitations that are important in dyslexia. 

You will also learn the effect of stress on eye movements and auditory perception. Emphasis is on recognizing visual problems and improving sight and reading by combining rhythmic and visual exercises. 

We will use our own perception in recognizing visual problems and improving perception through a combination of different visual and rhythmic reflex integration exercises.

Rhythmic Movement Training for Sustainable Health, Part 1 and 2

Part 1: Root causes of chronic inflammation and their impact on reflex integration

Beginners course. Previous knowlwdge recommended: Any other beginners course.

Part 2: Strategies to support individuals with chronic inflammation 

Previous knowlwdge: BRMT for Sustainable Health, Part 1

The understanding of the causes of autism and how the condition can be successfully treated has made great progress in the last ten years. With alternative treatment methods, severely autistic people who lack language and ability to communicate greatly improve. When doing Rhythmic Movement Training in autism, the stimulating and cleansing effect that the training has, may initially make matters worse.  Hard to handle physical and emotional reactions may make further training impossible.

IN RMT for Sustainable Health we discuss how to support Children and adults in the Autism Spectrum and other NP challenges.  The content is also beneficial in chronic inflammation, fatigue syndrom, depression, ME and similar conditions and provide keys to strengthen the body and get more balanced.

The course addresses brain health, issues with the immune system and detoxification, We learn how to test for food sensitivities that that contribute to the physical and mental stress. We will learn how to  use kinesiological muscle testing and other techniques to find out which substances the child/client is sensitive to and which crucial nutrients is beneficial to start with when healing the gut and the nervous system.

Part 1 of the course focuses on diet and various food additives that harms teh body. Environmental stressosrs is also highlighted. We look at how to detoxify in a slow and controlled manner, to avoid adverse effects when someone suffers from e.g. heavy metal injuries. We learn how to detect the root cause of imbalances in the body and make a treatment plan involving rhythmic movements, reflex integration, diet, parasite cleans, nutrition and stress reduction.

We learn how the training, in combination with our efforts to stop inflammation, will improve brain functions and strengthen the connections nessesary for learning, language, communication and social interaction, gross and fine motor skills and inner calm. RMT and reflex integration will improve the individuals abillities to function and get access to their surroundings.

In part 2 of the course, we focus on the body's detoxification system, the so-called methylation, and learn to support it with the right nutritional supplements. Detoxification is the key to address inflammatory diseases and here we learn how to detoxify on a cellular level and build a good gut flora and imune system as wella s a a more resiliant nervous system. We discuss how to support individuals with Pans, Pandas, Pyroluria, fatigue and similar conditions. We exchange experiences with dieatary experiences from part 1.

Rhythmic Movement Training for Sustainable Health part 2

Rhythmic Movement Training in Preschool / Kindergarten

for Younger Children

Previous Knowledge: BRMT Introduction Lecture and Workshop OR

Level 1 OR BRMT for sustainable health

BRMT in kindergarten examines most reflexes taught at BRMT level 1-3, with an emphasis on understanding the reflex patterns and integrating the reflexes through games and activities. 

This comprehensive overview of BRMT provides insight into childhood games lost in the age of technology, which can be reused with the intention of integrating reflexes.

The course is particularly suitable for teachers, preschool teachers, (grand) parents, caregivers and physiotherapists. Tools are used to make reflex integration fun and playful by offering alternatives to exercises and isometric integration. 

Activities can be used with larger groups of children and at home.

Rhythmic Movement Training and Reflexes

in Cerebral Palsy and Other Motor Disabilities

Training class with adults and children (2 days)

Previous knowledge: BRMT Introduction Lecture and Workshop*

This 12 hour course addresses the physical challenges that active reflexes play in cerebral palsy and similar disabilities such as gluten ataxia, stroke, head or nervous system injury, and birth trauma. This course is suitable for therapists, parents, caregivers or anyone dealing with severe motor problems or spasticity. 

People with  congenital  or acquired motor disability such as strokes and accidents are also welcome. Those present will receive an individual training program for continuous progress and growth in the home and clinical environment. Each participant can bring 1-2 extra persons (parents/assistants) if necessary.

Rhythmic movement training and reflex integration

For Pain Resolution part 1 and 2

These two courses treat muscle tension that overloads the neck, spine and joints and causes inflammation in the muscles, osteoarthritis of the joints and spine, pelvic rotations and skeletal abnormalities such as scoliosis or kyphosis. We integrate primary reflexes and stress reflexes that are overactive due to trauma, prolonged stress wear and tear or injury. 

We learn a system that allows us to discover which reflexes are most important to integrate in different states. There is a lot of practical work to integrate reflexes both on others and by ourselves.

We learn about supplements that are important for our nervous and musculoskeletal system.

The courses are designed for anyone interested in holistic therapies and healing movement methods. Physical therapists, doctors, body therapists and all because of their own or someone else's issues.

Rhythmic movement training and reflex integration

For Pain Resolution, part 1 

No previous knowledge required

This  course covers the basic principles of BRMT and muscle tension due to emotional stress and active stress reflexes and what you can do about them. It also addresses environmental causes to stress and problems with the musculoskeletal system.

We test primitive reflexes that can cause muscle tension, osteoarthritis, skeletal deformity and joint pain. 

We examine the rhythmic movements and experience the body's reactions to them. We test for primitive reflexes and integrate them with rhythmic and isometric reflex exercises on ourselves and a partner. We learn to correct bumps and a rotated pelvis. 

We learn a system that will help us find out which reflexes are most important to integrate in different issues.  

The course also addresses environmental factors that contribute to stress and musculoskeletal problems.

In this course we learn to test and integrate primary reflexes that cause muscle tension, pain, osteoarthritis and deformity at different levels: jaws, neck, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, hips, legs, knees, feet, shoulders and elbows. We use rhythmic movements and other exercises integrate all the reflexes that can cause a rotated pelvis and work with hip pain to prevent osteoarthritis of the hips. 

We go deeper in the balancing system to find out which reflexes are most important to integrate depending on the complaints of the client. We learn how to test for nutrition and supplements that are important for our nervous system and our musculoskeletal system. 

This course gives participants tools to work with the sometimes scary dreams that can be caused by Rhythmic Movement Training. The symbols of such dreams are often similar to symbols of myth and folk tales. In the course, Eva Johansson discusses the meaning of these symbols for healing and integration, and how we can use this information when working with our clients. 

Participants are encouraged to do the movements for a period and keep a dream diary to bring to the course.
