The Masgutova Method® is a set of programs focused on the restoration and maturation of primary movements, reflexes, coordination systems, skills for optimal performance of natural mechanisms, developmental processes, brain functioning, and sensory-motor integration.
The Masgutova Method® is oriented on the stimulation of reflex patterns in order to awaken natural, genetic motor resources, self-regenerating strength of motor memory and sensory-motor coherence. This achievement innately carries the implication of the fulfillment of all potentials within movement abilities and learning skills.
The Mission of the Svetlana Masgutova Educational Institute® Neuro-sensori- motor Reflex Integration is to provide children and adults reliable knowledge and safe tools for the use of natural, genetic motor resources to facilitate successful neuro-sensory-motor development and joyful learning.
Svetlana Masgutova, Ph.D is the originator of the Masgutova Method®, a comprehensive set of programs that focus motor reflex and sensory system integration. Dr. Masgutova developed the Masgutova Method following her graduate and doctoral work in Russia where she had access to a broad cross section of pioneering Russian research, and after attending to the survivors of the Ufa train accident, where hundreds of people, many of them children, perished or were severely injured and traumatized.
Since 1989, Dr. Masgutova has been researching the influence of motor reflex and sensory integration on the different aspects of motor, communication and cognitive development, and emotional and behavioral regulation, to the great benefit of those who have accessed her knowledge and approach. Dr. Masgutova’s organization has served over 27,000 children and adults spanning 25 countries, including Russia, Poland, Germany, France, Canada, Hong Kong, and the United States.
It is through this work that Dr. Masgutova has come to understand that …the integration of early movements is the key to successful development, joyful learning and a happy life.”
