Movements that Heal: Rhythmic Movement Training and Primitive Reflex Integration Paperback – Large Print, July 1, 2011

Very helpful book! It went into great detail about the brains connection to primitive reflexes. Gave lots of case study examples to really convince me this is a good practice to add to my therapy (COTA).

Very informative book. Has good exercises to do with children. Important for parents and teachers. Easy to read.

Was looking for something to heal my son’s nervous system after a debilitating vaccine injury. This book was very helpful.

The title is misleading. You only learn a little bit of information about how to do the movements at the end of the book. Most of the book just talks about how mainstream medicine is bad, claims performing the movements produces miracles for various ailments, and provides anecdotes about the amazing results. The author had me going at the beginning with a long explanation about how the movements were great for impulsivity, anxiety, ADHD, etc. As I progressed through the book, I found the information provided irrelevant and the author started sounding like a conspiracy theorist trying to sell the concept of a miracle cure for desperate parents. This book was a waste of time. Of course, if you want to read about lobotomies and why they are no longer performed or why you should worry about a component in vaccines that vaccines no longer contain (the book later says all vaccines with this component stopped being available in 2004), or any other lengthy, irrelevant tidbit meant to discredit modern medicine, go right ahead and read this book. I wonder how this was even published. A copy editor was clearly not used. The lack of appropriate commas and some other mistakes may be distracting for discerning readers.This book will not provide a great ROI for the time it takes to read it. If you do want to see an actual professional about retained reflexes and exercises to help integrate them, go see an occupational therapist instead.

Written in 2008 but using studies over 5 years old at that time. Insinuates vaccines cause autism and ADHD is not real… save your money

It is hard to take the science seriously when, right at the beginning of the book, it is suggested to consider whether or not you want to vaccinate your children.
