Flexing Reflexes: Why Reflex Skills Matter
Reflexes are more than automatic responses—they’re foundational to maintaining functional movements and daily activities. By engaging and strengthening reflex skills, we not only enhance physical capabilities but also support neurological growth and development. Reflex work can be a powerful tool to improve coordination, balance, awareness, and more. Let’s explore the key benefits of maintaining and developing reflex skills.
1. IMPROVE VISUAL SKILLS
Reflex training sharpens visual skills by enhancing eye tracking, focus, and depth perception. These improvements translate into better performance in tasks like reading, sports, and navigating daily environments.
2. INTERNAL ORGANIZATION
Strengthening reflexes contributes to better internal organization by enhancing the connection between the brain and body. This leads to improved processing, faster reaction times, and smoother transitions between activities.
3. COORDINATION + BALANCE
Reflex work directly supports improved coordination and balance, helping individuals move with greater ease and stability. Whether you’re navigating uneven terrain or participating in athletic activities, better balance means fewer falls and greater confidence in movement.
4. AWARENESS
Reflex skills play a key role in fostering body awareness. Through reflex training, you can develop a stronger sense of where your body is in space, improving overall posture and movement patterns.
5. ATTENTION
By engaging reflex pathways, we can boost attention and focus. Reflex work supports neurological organization, which enhances the brain’s ability to process information, maintain focus, and adapt to changes in the environment.
