Neuromodulatory Therapies

What are neuromodulatory therapies? These are therapies that target the function of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is supposed to function easily (hence the “auto,” as in automatic!). However when the autonomic nervous system is not functioning correctly due to injury, trauma, or developmental delay, it impedes all other higher level cognitive and neurological function. In general, overall function becomes harder. Therapies such as MNRI ® (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration), CST (Craniosacral Therapy), and Brain Gym seek to strengthen or re-educate these lower level aspects of the nervous system in order to improve function and allow higher cognitive areas to develop as they should.
