… well-known and recognized in Scandinavia

already in Poland!

The main objective of Temprana Reflex Therapy is to achieve a significant improvement in disorders arising from problems and damages occurred during delivery or in connection with chronic diseases.  The therapy comprises brain damages, motor dysfunctions, vision, hearing and speech disorders.

It is successive in children with learning problems. Temprana is a unique form of rehabilitation combining the achievements of contemporary medicine, traditional Far East medicine and knowledge and experience of South American Indians. Temprana combines facial, foot and hand reflexology, muscular therapy, ‘brain gymnastics’, music therapy and diet.

The method was created by the Danish reflexologist Lone Sorensen who gained experience during nearly 30 years of therapeutic work in different countries. Sorensen is the head of the International Facial and Foot Reflexology (Instituto de Reflexologia Facial/Podal Internacional) in Barcelona, Spain. Her working methods were approved in the year 2000 for use in Centre “Filadelfia Kurhuset”, Denmark (a specialized therapeutic centre for patients with brain damage).

Temprana therapists do not use any tools, needles, etc. Using their own hands, they stimulate acupuncture points, nerve terminalis, and muscles. The nervous system is a dynamic, constantly changing system. We know that neural networks develop throughout our entire live. Appropriate stimulation accelerates regeneration of nervous system structures. Techniques used in Temprana also influence the functioning of the hormonal system. The therapy does not interfere with any medical procedures.

A Temprana therapist, unlike any other reflexologist, can plan a long-lasting work with a patient and frequently involves patients’ relatives (See: For parents). Then the relatives treat the patient, in severe cases even every day. Therapies are tailor-made for a given patient. Such form of work can help those living far away from a specialist who would still supervise the therapy. And it can last even as long as several years …

From the point of view of a therapist, actions should be taken as quickly as possible after the first symptoms. That is what the name stands for: Temprana Reflex Therapy (’early therapy’). Many techniques used activate different structures of the body in order to regain homeostasis. During the therapy, motor, intellectual skills, senses are improved. In patients with Down syndrome, maximum use of their potentials and talents is enabled. In aphasia, we can improve speech by precise stimulation of Broca and Wernicke’s areas. In patients with epilepsy, epileptic fits are less and less frequent. We know case of autistic children undergoing Temprana Reflex Therapy who were no longer classified as such.

Temprana has been successfully used by dozens of therapists in Scandinavia, UK, The Netherlands, Spain, Mexico and Japan. You can find more information about this therapy in English at: www.temprana.org/uk temprana 1.pdf

John Patrick, Dawid, Ernest, Tomek, Mariusz and others

It was an extraordinary experience for Temprana therapy training participants in Copenhagen to meet a boy with a genetic defect. For several years after he was born, he could see only partially. Thanks to the therapy given by his mother, the boy has regained vision (below you will find a description of the therapy in English by John Patrick’s mother; Lone Sorensen about John Patrick’s therapy, YouTube)

The great effectiveness of this method was proved in the case of 6-year old Dawid with right-side paresis treated by Robert Przybyś. After only 5 treatments, the spastic tension of the muscle of his hand disappeared. Soon after the boy was in the mountains with his parents and … skied (December 2008). At that time, Dawid did not undergo any other therapy which would explain such spectacular change.

Ernest, a several-month old boy, had an ischemic cerebral stroke in the first days of his life. Before the treatments, his head and eyes constantly looked left. He hardly moved his right hand. He also had infantile convulsions. After several weeks of therapy involving his parents, a great improvement was visible. After a couple of months, the only visible symptom is a weaker right hand. While laying on belly, the child can support himself on both hands. His doctor decided that administration of anticonvulsant medicines is not longer needed.  The parents repeat the opinions of specialists who are surprised that with such extensive changes in his brain, the boy is so fit.

A great challenge is a therapy of Tomek (8) with Louis-Bar genetic syndrome (Ataxia-telangiectasia). The severe disease progressed and conventional medicine proved to be totally ineffective. For almost a year, Tomek’s family have been repeating Temprana treatments every day. In his case, any positive change is success. Already after the first weeks, coordination of movements slightly improved. Lately, fluency of speech has radically improved. During our first meetings Tomek spoke single words or expressions. Now, he fluently tells long stories. In spite of a very weak immunity system, the boy resisted infections. He has not been given antibiotics more often than other children.

Another example is therapy of Mariusz (9) who is treated because of developmental dyslexia. After several months of treatments, his school results significantly improved. His Mother told me in September: “Before the therapy, he made five errors in one word, and now only one.” Mariusz made progress in Maths. He has wide interests.

Temprana is also used in adult diseases. Robert Przybyś takes care, as a therapist, of Monika nearly from the very first symptoms of SM. After two years Monika runs a normal life. Regularly repeated medical examinations confirm her very good condition.

Sometimes even the first treatment can give great results. It was the case of autistic Kasia (19). At the very beginning of therapy, she started to syllabicate, embraced her relatives, played ball with her brother (in May 2010 Lone Sorensen participated in the Dubai international conference on therapy of autism; among others, she headed workshops for parents, see: www.autismaroundtheworld.com)

R. Przybyś has experience in work with persons in vegetative state, after strokes, with Parkinson’s disease. More examples of the effectiveness of neuro-reflexology you will find at: Facial & Head Reflexology.

Temprana does not intervene with conventional medicine therapies. It produces no negative side effects. Temprana therapists do not question medical recommendations and opt for full cooperation with doctors. MCR’s patients (e.g. the above-mentioned Ernest) use also other forms of rehabilitation.
