Twenty five years of research and strong results have demonstrated the efficacy of this approach. Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI) restorative techniques were developed to enhance neurosensory pathways, ultimately leading to improved brain functioning and to overall enrich the quality of one’s life.
