INPP is now practised across continents, in different languages, cultures and educational systems. A practitioner working in the UK, Poland, Australia or Mexico may be supporting different children in very different settings, but the underlying goal remains the same: helping individuals build the neurological foundations needed for learning, movement, attention and emotional regulation.

Recent years have also seen growing interest in newer regions, including Mexico and South Africa, as more professionals train in the method and build local networks.

NeurOptimal Neurofeedback is a type of brain training that uses sound to help the brain recognise its own patterns and settle into a more balanced state.
At Helping Hand Centre, it can be used at home with full guidance and support.
“Pauline was extremely helpful and accommodating… the online meeting allayed any concerns and answered all our questions.”
This client described the process as clear and well-supported from the start:
“The system arrived exactly as she told us and the videos were clear… when I had a snag, Pauline was available quickly and so warm and supportive.”
For many people, having that level of support makes it feel far more manageable to begin.

In a recent conversation with medical students, one thing stood out.

What stayed with them from practical training was not the theory, but the human reality of working with real bodies. Differences. Discomfort. Emotional reactions. Unexpected responses.

That is exactly why INPP training cannot be reduced to videos or online demonstrations.

You cannot learn how a nervous system responds by watching one example. You learn by being present. By noticing nuance. By developing the ability to read bodies, not just follow instructions.

This work asks practitioners to support real people through experiences that can stir vulnerability and emotion. That level of responsibility requires embodied learning.

For INPP, in-person training is not optional.

It is fundamental.

Pretty sure the range of people in this group, and what we do, shows how everyone needs a little RGM in their lives!"

Schools and organisations that feel this training would be valuable for their staff can express an interest in having a course delivered locally. This can be a practical way to give larger numbers of staff access to the training without the need for extensive travel.

If you believe colleagues within your school, academy trust or organisation would benefit from a better understanding of developmental movement and its relationship to learning, INPP would be pleased to discuss the options available.

Our next open training day takes place in Burford on Friday 25 September 2026.

The Ronnie Gardiner Method is not one-size-fits-all.

The level of challenge can be adjusted depending on the individual’s needs and abilities.

This means it can be used with a wide range of people, from those in early rehabilitation through to those looking to maintain function and independence.

Progression is gradual, structured and always tailored - if you'd like to find out more about it then please just get in touch!

INPP, the Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology, has seen increasing interest in its INPP in Schools training programme, with courses now taking place in a growing number of locations across the UK.

Kath Clough of Chrysalis NDT recently hosted the training day for the second time in Welwyn Garden City, bringing together educational professionals keen to learn more about child development, movement and the foundations that underpin learning and behaviour.

Many people assume they would need to travel a long distance to attend. New courses are added regularly in response to demand, so there may already be one taking place closer to home than expected.

Our next training day takes place in Burford on Friday 25 September 2026.

There is growing evidence that simple, daily movement programmes in schools can make a meaningful difference to how children learn.

Research has shown that when developmental movement is built into the school day, children’s neuromotor skills can improve, particularly for those who were previously finding learning more difficult.

This matters because physical development underpins so much of what is expected in the classroom. Sitting upright, maintaining attention, coordinating handwriting and processing information all rely on a level of physical readiness that is often taken for granted.

For some children, these foundations are not fully established, which can make everyday school tasks feel much harder than they should.

Structured movement programmes offer a practical way to support this at a whole-class level, while also giving additional benefit to children who need more support.

It’s a good example of how addressing physical development can have a direct and positive impact on learning, without adding pressure or increasing academic demands.

The Ronnie Gardiner Method draws on well-established principles including neuroplasticity, motor learning and postural control.

It is not a passive activity. Every session asks participants to actively respond, move, coordinate and engage, making it a genuinely brain-based method rather than simply a movement class.

For practitioners, this is what makes RGM a meaningful addition to a therapeutic or educational toolkit. It works with the brain's capacity to adapt and learn, in a structured and accessible way.

If your child still wets the bed, the chances are you have been carrying this for a while - the extra washing, the disrupted nights, the worry about sleepovers and school trips, and the nagging feeling that you should have found a solution by now.

It is worth knowing that bedwetting is one of the most common childhood challenges there is. Around one in eight six-year-olds wet the bed regularly, and even at age ten it still affects around one in twenty children. It is not a behaviour problem, it is not laziness, and it is not the result of anything you have or haven't done.

In most cases, a child's body simply hasn't yet developed the signals it needs to either hold on through the night or wake up in time to respond. That is a development question, not a discipline one, and it means there are ways to approach it that go much further than waiting and hoping.

If you have been looking for some answers, it may be time to explore what is actually going on, just get in touch with Pauline for a discussion.
