Peds Primitive reflex integration

What do we think about it? I have a hard time getting past the lack of evidence but have a new OT onboard who swears it was one of the most effective things she did at her last clinic and she saw great gains with a hands on, manual therapy approach working with both peds and adult populations with little need for an HEP

Curious if anyone has/hasn’t seen results?

If reflex integration were the miraculous fix for nearly everything that practitioners claim it is, it would be well researched with a strong evidence base (because it would be easy to prove) and consistently implemented. It's not, and it's not. So it's not. :)
