Ear infections are common ailments, particularly in children. While there are various causes of ear infections, a complete understanding involves considering both biomedical factors and a neurodevelopmental perspective. Let's dive into the intricacies of ear infections and the role of certain structures like the Eustachian tube.

The brain has an incredible ability to change, reorganise and grow new neural networks in response to new experiences or learning: this is what is meant by neuroplasticity.

This fascinating process can happen at any age and informs our NeuroMature Programmes, which create new neural pathways in the brain by maturing the nervous system. This is particularly helpful for children who have learning difficulties, as the root cause is often what is known as retained primitive reflexes, which help the nervous system to develop in infancy.

While dyslexia is now being more widely identified than it was for previous generations, the approaches for dealing with it are not keeping up with our latest understanding of neuroscience. As most of us are parents ourselves, we understand the frustration of having a diagnosis given to your child without any investigation or answers on the root causes of their symptoms. Swimming upstream to identify the underlying issues with reading and processing difficulties is what we are known for here at The Key Clinic.

“The work at The Key Clinic is so life-changing for so many. They get amazing results, I wish more people were aware of this!” – Liz Earle MBE.
