Brainfit Kids uses the Melillo Method of Brain Hemispheric Integration to help your child achieve improved brain connectivity and brain balance. This model of care works to eliminate retained primitive reflexes, build gross motor and fine motor movement patterns, build core stability and strength and activate areas of the brain that are under performing. Brainfit Kids uses the process of neuroplasticity to help build the brain. We know that “neurons that fire together wire together’, by stimulating the brain we build neural pathways for success in movement, learning, behaviour and social skills.
New therapies at Brainfit Kids:
1. Neurosage (SNA Biotech)
Neurosage by (SNA biotech) is a cutting edge digital therapeutic intervention. It is a non-invasive scientifically designed computer software application that targets the visual, acoustic and vestibular system using specific videogames to improve brain and body connectivity.
Neurosage delivers a targeted amount of stimulation (to the brain) via the eyes, ears and body. The neurosage impacts whole brain function enabling both right and left brain hemispheres to communicate more efficiently and work as a ‘whole system’ as nature intended.
Neurosage is known to impact: balance, co-ordination, focus, attention, cognition, reaction times, involuntary movements, developmental issues, ADHD, mood, and behaviour.

2. Interactive Metronome
Interactive Metronome: (IM) trains neural rhythm and timing in the brain and body.
The IM offers a selection of games that will keep your child motivated and engaged and challenged. IM is recognized as a therapy with may help children with autism spectrum disorder, learning difficulties and cognition, ADHD, Sensory Processing disorder, auditory processing disorder, and more. The interactive metronome is backed by over 15 years of research and has studies published in leading scientific journals demonstrating improvements in: academics, reading comprehension and speech fluency, handwriting, organization, behaviour and
self-esteem as well as sports performance.

Interactive Metronome home training program (coming soon in 2022)
3.Neurosoutions Laser/light therapy (Photobiomodulation)
The Laser uses photo biomodulation (red and infra-red laser/light therapy) to support brain health by improving brain activation and connectivity, maximizing neuronal function, and improving brain oxygenation.
Laser therapy is known to improve cognitive function of the prefrontal cortex where your child’s executive functions such as impulse control, emotional regulation, working memory and organization live in the brain .
*Laser Therapy (PBM) is extremely SAFE and has very few adverse side effects.

4. Rezzimax
The rezzimax is a form of Vagal stimulation which uses vibration to calm or the nervous system. The Rezzimax is placed on the skin of the face, head and body activating the very powerful Vagus nerve to activate the “rest and digest” or parasympathetic nervous system of the body. Vagal stimulation is known to improve emotional regulation, focus and attention as well as sleep, digestion and social engagement in children.

5. Other equipment you may enjoy:
Optodrum for specific brain training eye exercises
TENS machine- The traditional TENS machine (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) gently stimulates the nerves of the skin as a targeted sensory input to the body and brain.
6. Other Programs offered at Brainfit Kids:
Safe and Sound protocol. This 5-day Sound therapy and auditory training program uses music and sound to activate the parasympathetic ‘rest and digest’ part of the nervous system, particularly the Vagus Nerve.
Interactive Metronome home training program (coming soon in 2022)
Safe and Sound Protocol
Throughout this 5 day program, the child listens to the music for 1 hour per day in a quiet and relaxed home environment whilst being supervised by a parent or caregiver.
The Safe and Sound Protocol is based on the work by Dr Stephen Porges’ POLYVAGAL THEORY.
The goals of the program are to improve social skills and social engagement, improve auditory processing and listening skills and to reduce anxiety by enabling the child to hear higher pitched sounds which we as humans recognise as ‘cues of safety’.
Children with conditions such as: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, auditory processing disorder and anxiety or early childhood trauma are often great candidates for the program and research shows children seem to benefit greatly when the SSP is used in conjunction with other therapies such as Brainfit Kids, OT or even Speech therapies.
