Send us Fan Mail🎙️ NEW PODCAST EPISODE: “Reflexes in Motion: Why They’re Functional, Not Positional” 🎙️🚨 This episode of Rock the World with Kay & Michelle reframes how we think about reflexes. Instead of viewing them as problems to eliminate or positions to test, this conversation explores reflexes as functional movement patterns — living, evolving pieces of a child’s movement story.If you’ve ever heard the phrase “retained reflex” and wondered what it actually means, this episode brings clarity without alarm.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ What Reflexes Really Are: Why reflexes are automatic movement patterns that help organize the nervous system — not just quick reactions like the knee-jerk test.✅ Functional, Not Positional: Why reflexes are dynamic movement patterns, not static postures to hold or “pass.”✅ Integration vs. Elimination: How reflexes don’t disappear — they evolve into more complex, coordinated movement.✅ What Happens When Patterns Feel Incomplete: How unfinished reflex patterns can show up in posture, coordination, regulation, and even emotional responses.✅ How to Observe Movement Differently: What parents, teachers, and therapists can look for in everyday life — rhythm, flow, timing, transitions.✅ Curiosity Over Correction: Why supporting natural movement through play, rhythm, and relationship is more powerful than rigid exercises.Real Conversations. Real Movement.Join Michelle Turner, founder of Movement Lesson™ and author of Neuromuscular Child Movement Assessment: Reflexes Edition, and Kayla Ireland, host of Kindly Neurodivergent with Kay, as they explore reflexes as movement conversations — not problems to fix.Why This Episode Is Important:Reflexes are not mistakes. They are foundational patterns.When we shift from testing positions to observing motion, we change how we support children.This episode invites you to see movement with new eyes — and to trust the body’s capacity to grow through rhythm, timing, and relationship.🎧 LISTEN NOW on all major podcast platforms 📺 Watch on YouTube 💙 Share this with a therapist, teacher, or parent who wants to understand movement more deeply.Kayla Ireland is a bold and unstoppable 27-year-old with cerebral palsy.
