Movement and Vitality

Giggles 😂 + singing🎵 + functional movement = profound learning.

This was one of my favourite moments with a very sweet client to help her improve walking. When she came to me she initially didn’t arch her lower back well and because our brains are incredible problem solvers she figured out another way by using her legs to contract inward for stability causing muscular contraction in her feet and ankles. Prior to movement lessons, Physiotherapists tried to get her to stand up without using her hands. She couldn’t do it and practicing limitations further engrains them. When we provide a fun engaging environment for learning the results can be quite profound even after one movement lesson. At the end of her first lesson she spontaneously picked up a toy from the floor and stood up with it in her hands causing her mom to regain hope that she would find an effortless path. I am grateful to witness these miracles often. When the ideal conditions for learning are provided, the brilliance of a child’s mind is a beauty I will never tire of. ❤️🧠

One of my favourite moments with one of my favourite little clients. He was having a difficult time with patience so we worked on making clearer distinctions of “I’m ready, are you ready?” or “I’m not ready.” As you can see here, he beautifully understands and begins verbal acknowledgment. ❤️ But of course, the underlying functional movement is for him to arch his back. 😉 Love and motion creates brilliant brains.

This has to be my cutest testimonial EVER! 😍 NeuroMovement reduces spasticity and muscle contraction allowing for easier movement and flexibility. The best thing is that kids perceive a difference! Makes my busy weekend so worth it to work with so many awesome kiddos! ❤️🧠
