What we do.
At Top to Toe Neuro, we support brain development and regulation through practical, movement-based therapy that utilizes movement-based neurology. Our approach is grounded in Melillo Method principles, emphasizing how the brain and body communicate through balance, coordination, reflex integration, sensory systems, and timing.
We conduct comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments and work with children, teens, and adults who feel 'out of sync.' This may manifest as learning challenges, attention struggles, emotional overwhelm, coordination difficulties, fatigue, sleep concerns, or sensory sensitivities.
1. Before Your Assessment
To achieve the best results from your program, we require all clients to:
✔ See a chiropractor OR
✔ Complete a CLA (Core Score) scan
This process ensures that your spine and nervous system are functioning optimally before we commence any neurological work.
When the body is aligned and the nervous system is free from interference, it is better equipped to:
- Process new input
- Respond effectively to movement-based therapy
- Integrate reflex work
- Adapt to brain training
- Maintain positive changes
Think of it as preparing the soil before planting; when the foundation is strong, the path to brain development and sustainable progress becomes significantly smoother.
Initial Assessment
Your first neurodevelopmental assessment is where we closely examine how the brain and body work together in the context of brain development. Depending on time and client ability, we aim to assess:
- Primitive reflexes (retained reflex patterns)
- Balance and vestibular function
- Core stability and posture
- Eye tracking and coordination
- Sensory responses
- Motor planning and coordination
- Timing and rhythm
You will leave with:
- A clear explanation of findings in everyday language
- A personalized starting plan that may involve movement-based therapy
- Practical home activities
Individualised Programs
No two brains are the same, which is why our programs are designed to support individual brain development based on your neurodevelopmental assessment findings. These programs are adjusted as progress occurs and may include various movement-based therapy activities such as:
- Reflex integration activities
- Vestibular and balance training
- Cross-body coordination work
- Visual-motor training
- Timing and rhythm support
- Regulation and breathing strategies
- Strength and postural foundations
Home Programs & Parent/Client Support
Progress in brain development happens through consistency.
We provide:
- Clear daily activities focused on movement-based therapy
- Weekly focus areas that enhance neurodevelopmental assessment
- Tracking support if helpful
- Ongoing adjustments to facilitate improvement
