What is Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Training (BRMT)?

Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Training (BRMT) is a powerful, movement-based approach designed to support brain development, sensory integration, and motor function. Rooted in the natural movements that infants make during early development, BRMT helps integrate primitive reflexes—automatic movement patterns that, when retained beyond infancy, can contribute to challenges such as ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, coordination difficulties, and learning disabilities.

Developed by Dr. Harald Blomberg, BRMT draws on decades of research into the connection between movement, reflex integration, and neurological development. By engaging in specific rhythmic exercises, individuals can activate and strengthen neural pathways, leading to improved focus, emotional regulation, and physical coordination.

How BRMT Works

BRMT is based on the principle that early movement patterns are essential for brain maturation. During infancy, these movements naturally stimulate brain connections, helping establish the foundation for skills like balance, coordination, learning, and emotional regulation. However, if primitive reflexes are not fully integrated due to factors such as birth trauma, stress, or lack of movement, they can interfere with development.

By using rhythmic exercises that mimic these early movements, BRMT helps the brain complete its developmental process. The exercises stimulate the central nervous system, promote relaxation, and encourage proper neural communication, which can lead to profound improvements in cognitive, emotional, and physical functioning.

Who Can Benefit from BRMT?

BRMT is effective for both children and adults struggling with a wide range of challenges, including:

  • Attention and Focus Issues (ADHD/ADD) – Helps reduce impulsivity and hyperactivity by strengthening connections between the brainstem and higher brain functions.
  • Dyslexia and Learning Difficulties – Supports reading, writing, and comprehension by improving eye tracking, coordination, and brain integration.
  • Sensory Processing Challenges – Reduces hypersensitivity to sounds, textures, and movement by improving nervous system regulation.
  • Anxiety and Emotional Regulation – Helps balance the nervous system, reducing stress and emotional overwhelm.
  • Motor and Coordination Issues – Enhances balance, posture, and muscle tone, benefiting those with developmental delays or motor dysfunction.

What Makes BRMT Different from Other Reflex Integration Methods?

Unlike other approaches that focus primarily on passive stimulation or isolated exercises, BRMT works holistically to support brain development through gentle, rhythmic movement. The method is designed to be simple yet highly effective, often leading to noticeable improvements within weeks or months.

Key features of BRMT:

  • Uses natural, rhythmic movements rather than forceful or restrictive techniques.
  • Addresses both physical and emotional well-being, helping regulate stress responses.
  • Can be practiced at home, making it accessible and easy to incorporate into daily routines.

How to Get Started with BRMT

If you or your child struggles with attention, learning, coordination, or sensory issues, BRMT may offer the missing piece in achieving lasting improvement. The best way to get started is by working with a certified BRMT practitioner or attending a training course to learn the exercises.

Whether used as a standalone method or in combination with other therapies, BRMT provides a natural, body-based approach to unlocking greater potential, balance, and well-being.
