BRThis might seem like just a simple balance test but...
it’s actually a powerful way to check for retained primitive reflexes that could be impacting focus, coordination, and emotional regulation.
What’s happening when we do this?
🧠 We’re testing for the Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR) & Vestibular Function.
The TLR is a primitive reflex that should disappear by early childhood. If it’s still active, it can cause:
❌ Poor balance & coordination
❌ Difficulty with focus, attention, and sitting still (ADHD symptoms!)
❌ Motion sickness or dizziness
❌ Struggles with reading & learning
❌ Clumsiness or trouble with sports
💡 Why does this test work?
Closing the eyes removes visual input, so the body has to rely on the vestibular system (balance center in the brain).
Putting the feet together reduces stability, making it easier to see if the body wobbles or falls.
Dropping the head forward challenges core strength and postural control.
If a child falls over or can’t stay still, it could mean their TLR is still active, making things like focus, coordination, and emotional regulation much harder.
🌊 This reflex is directly linked to ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and sensory struggles. If a child struggles with balance when their eyes are closed, their brain may still be stuck in an early developmental stage—affecting their ability to sit still, focus, and learn effectively.
