Fall reflex??
Do you want to fall gracefully and prevent head injuries?
Parachute reflex is the one that prevents major fall injuries like this!
Parachute reflex is the reflex that starts to develop from 6 to 9 months old that should be present persistently throughout life stages for stability in our posture. This should be fully present from 12 months old onwards.
This reflex supports the development of motor skills such as eye-hand coordination, increasing upper body strength, both upper and lower limb movements such as sitting up from lying position and sitting to standing up or even walking.
Preventing head injuries, postural control and balance is the key benefit of fully integrated parachute reflex for adults too. This reflex is crucial for active children, adults and older adults as well.
