The sensory stimuli: stroking the right or left side to the back
The motor response: side flexion to the side the back was stroked

Some signs and symptoms of retained Spinal Galant reflexes are as follows:

- fidgety and inability to sit still
- poor concentration
- poor bladder control and/or bed-wetting
- lack of motor coordination
- dislike and complaint when touched around waistline. Does not like when clothes feels tight by waistband.
- difficulty with seated posture, maybe slouchy, and looks uneasy
may have awkward gate
- if reflex is only retained on one side, it may causes of scoliosis

The Snow Angel exercise can be used as a supplemental exercise to integrate the spinal galant reflex.

- about 5 x/week for 3-4 weeks. It should take no more than 5 minutes at a time. You should start seeing improvement after that.
