BRAIN BALANCE & PRIMITIVE REFLEXES WITH DR. ROBERT MELILLO

Dr. Robert Melillo is a world-renowned expert in developmental functional neurology, brain imbalances, hemispheric integration and the diagnosis and correction of most neurobehavioral disorders and learning disabilities. He has graduate degrees in clinical rehabilitation neuropsychology, neurology, neuroscience, and chiropractic. 

Dr. Melillo is a prolific brain researcher, having authored five best-selling books, including Disconnected Kids, 50 peer-reviewed papers, and a major textbook Neurobehavioral Disorders of Childhood: An Evolutionary Perspective. He created Brain Balance Achievement Centers, which has approximately 150 centers and has helped tens of thousands of families.

Dr. Melillo has presented at numerous clinical and scientific conferences around the world and has taught his own course in a post graduate level for over 20 years. He is an adjunct professor of Developmental Disabilities at National University of Health Sciences, as well as cofounder and past president of the International Association of Functional Neurology and Rehab. Due to Dr. Melillo’s authority in the field, he has been featured in documentaries, appeared in thousands of radio and TV interviews, and hosts a TV show, radio show, and webseries.

This workshop is for healthcare and fitness professionals looking to improve the results they get with clients. The tools and knowledge from this workshop can be implemented with kids, athletes, and adults, for prevention, for rehabilitation, or in the context of sports performance. 

A brain Imbalance occurs when the two hemispheres of the brain are not equally developed and/or not communicating properly. 

When the two hemispheres of the brain are not balanced or synchronized, the imbalance interferes with the ability of the brain to share and integrate information. This means the brain cannot function as a whole.

This happens in the early stages of life and can persist in adulthood. The consequence of a brian imbalance is a functional disconnect between parts of the brain that must work together for optimal performance and neurological function.  Each of these pillars of brain development plays an important role in your quality of life.

A brain imbalances always leads to a postural imbalance which is at the core of all injuries and traning plateaus. Ultimately, a brain imbalance can also increase your stress hormones (cortisol), decrease your ability to recuperate, decrease your digestive enzymes, and lower your immune system function. 

The foundation of growth, development, and learning starts with sensory and motor interaction with the world. The brain is built from the bottom up and this starts with movement and sensory exploration. Sensory stimulation and feedback drive the brain, but the motor system drives sensory stimulation—you can’t have one without the other. 

Expand your existing business and develop new business opportunities around this brain integration approach. Looking at the brain is the future of performance. 

This 2-day program will teach you how to optimize the connection between the brain and the muscular chains and how to restore proper integration of the sensory-motor system.  You will learn about evaluation, testing, and treatment from a practical application standpoint, but also get the research and evidence behind it.  A special section will be reserved for how to implement these concepts into your practice.
