Let me tell you more...
Introducing the Retained Neonatal Reflexes (RNR) course — your gateway to mastering advanced techniques in Applied Kinesiology that will transform your clinic into a beacon of hope for families seeking comprehensive care.
Imagine attracting a diverse range of families to your clinic, all eager to benefit from your enhanced skills in tackling learning difficulties, behavioural challenges, and developmental delays. The RNR course is specifically crafted for skilled practitioners like you, who are ready to overcome self-doubt and embrace a new level of expertise.
Previously, access to this coveted course was limited to face-to-face seminars in select locations like Australia, Canada, and France. But now, the full content is available online, right at your fingertips, supported by a vibrant community of like-minded professionals.
This course stands alone, offering you the flexibility to learn without the need for hands-on seminars. However, in-person interaction at workshops led by esteemed experts Dr. Susan Walker (DC) and Dr. Trent Banks (DC) are available, primarily in Australia and wherever interest arises globally, and are invaluable in cementing these hands-on methods.
Recognised by the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK), this advanced course builds on your foundation in Applied Kinesiology. A proficiency in manual
muscle testing, functional neurology, and cranial fault assessment is recommended to maximise your learning experience and solidify your reputation as the go-to practitioner in your community.
The RNR course, first introduced by the late Dr. Keith Keen in 1996, has evolved under the guidance of Dr. Susan Walker and Dr. Trent Banks, who bring their extensive knowledge in developmental and functional neurology to the table.
Designed in digestible segments, this dynamic course on a gamified platform allows you to integrate new techniques into your practice seamlessly, with ongoing feedback to ensure you achieve the best outcomes for your patients.
Our mission is to empower you to apply these techniques with confidence, making your clinic stand out as a leader in innovative chiropractic care.
Join us on this transformative journey and become the practitioner your community trusts for complex neurological care. Your path to professional growth and patient success starts here! 🌟
Are you ready to jump into it?
Here's a bit more you need to know...
Imagine a world where your earliest instincts are like a symphony of ancient wisdom, guiding you through the first stages of life. In the womb and during early infancy, your brainstem orchestrates a series of innate responses known as 'primitive' or 'neonatal' reflexes. These reflexes are your body's first language, ensuring you grow safely and adaptively. They assist in crucial early tasks like navigating the birthing process, breastfeeding, and even grasping onto the world around you.
As you blossom and mature, these reflexes gracefully step aside, allowing the higher brain to take the lead. This transition is akin to a magical dance, where the brain learns to pause and choose its responses, rather than reacting instinctively. It's a vital developmental milestone, enabling you to tackle complex tasks such as learning in a classroom, coordinating movements, and engaging in social interactions.
However, sometimes the symphony is disrupted. Factors like birth trauma or central nervous system inflammation can cause these reflexes to linger, holding onto their dominant role. This phenomenon is known as a Retained Neonatal Reflex. When these reflexes remain active, they can cause your nervous system to respond automatically and inappropriately to everyday stimuli, impacting your development, learning, and behaviour.
But fear not, for there is a path to harmony. Through specialised techniques pioneered by the visionary Chiropractic Doctor Keith Keen, and now shared across the globe, you can accelerate the integration of these reflexes. This journey not only liberates your potential but also allows your bright, vibrant self to shine through, unencumbered by the echoes of the past.✨
Are you ready to unlock the secrets of early neurological development and elevate your practice to new heights?
Here's what you'll discover in this groundbreaking course:
👉 Unveil the Mysteries of Primitive Reflexes: Dive deep into the fascinating world of primitive reflexes and their crucial roles during infancy and early development. You'll gain a profound understanding of how these reflexes shape neurological growth and influence behaviour.
👉 Decode the Signs of Redundant Reflex Patterns:
Learn to identify the subtle yet significant presentations that occur when reflex patterns persist beyond their expected integration age. This knowledge will empower you to recognise and address these patterns with confidence.
👉 Master the Art of Preparation Procedures: Begin applying innovative techniques known as Preparation Procedures, designed to seamlessly integrate into your practice. These quick and easy protocols are your go-to solutions for addressing disrupted CSF flow, enhancing eye tracking, improving muscle tone, and resolving neurological disintegration.
👉 Integrate 21 RNR Procedures into Your Practice:
Return to your clinic armed with 21 powerful RNR procedures, each meticulously crafted to assist in the integration of persistent primitive reflex patterns. These tools will set you apart as a leader in neurological care.
👉 Gain Expertise from Renowned Educators:
By the end of this course, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of RNR neurology, guided by the expertise of Dr. Trent Banks. As a teaching Diplomate for the ICAK and a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board, Dr. Banks brings unparalleled knowledge and insight to your learning experience.
Join us on this exciting journey and transform your practice with cutting-edge techniques that will make a lasting impact on your patients' lives. Your path to becoming a distinguished expert in neurological care begins here!
This course takes you through RNR techniques built on Applied Kinesiology principles and specific hands-on procedures for each retained neonatal reflex. You can see more information about these reflexes at rnrs.com.au.
Throughout the course, Chiropractic Dr Susan Walker DIBAK will teach you the theory behind each RNR followed by a demonstration of each procedure. While Chiropractic Dr Trent Banks DIBAK and Diplomate with the American Chiropractic Neurology Board, helps you to grasp the underpinning developmental neurology and why the methods used in RNR take effect to alter neurodevelopment at any age.
Each lesson is between a few minutes and 30 minutes long with downloadable notes and audio files for your reference.
Registration gains access to the online course long term, for as long as RNR can provide it for, guaranteed for a minimum of 12 months.

"What a wonderfully put together course, it was easy to follow, simple in its complexity (compared to doing other courses which got bogged down in details). Dr Trent's explanation of the reflexes was the most succinct and easy to understand I've ever heard."
Dr Darrell Smith, AK Chiropractor. Tasmania
"The copy is entertaining and I enjoyed that, the gamification was cute too and I liked seeing how many points I'd gotten/percentage completion to know how much of that module I had left.
I really like the small bite sized videos. Easy to manage, easy to understand. The quizzes were great, one I actually struggled with!”
Dr Carrie Rigoni, AK Chiropractor. Western Australia
and let's get stuck in!
"Just to say I started your course last week and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. You are an excellent speaker - you have a lovely voice and speak very succinctly. The course is exceptionally detailed and very clearly laid out. I'm loving the different learning elements including the fun pop quizzes. I'll be singing your praises to all my future students!"
Karen Willis, AK Osteopath. London, UK
"I love the way the material is presented. I wish the whole AK Course was done like this. Filling in so many gaps in my knowledge. Loving it!"
Dr Shannon Huntley, AK, SOT, NET Chiropractor. Sydney, Australia
"I think it is amazing material and I am eager to master it, for my kids. I have five and I have already begun trying to help them with this information, as well as the kids (and adults) in my practice.
I had been studying primitive reflexes before I heard of your course and the frustration was how to facilitate the correction in the body. It always frustrates me when it seems we can figure what reflexes are at play, but can't really do much about it - like diagnosis heavy but treatment weak.
What you present is so helpful because I can be even more confident in the diagnosis but treat it so much better and faster than I was taught in the past.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to bring this information."
Dr Devin Orton, AK Chiropractor. Meridian, Idaho, USA
