movement solutions

Our teenaged son suffered terribly from depression and anxiety, was cutting himself, abusing alcohol and started smoking. He was institutionalized twice and was prescribed high doses of anti-depressants and anxiety medications. He saw a psychologist and a psychiatrist. All of these things either heightened his depression or did little to help our son. Then I met Ruth. She taught our son various movement therapies and in a relatively short period of time, he was completely off his medications, began taking college classes, changed jobs, and is now planning a trip with siblings! Before Ruth’s help, NONE of these things would have been possible! In his very first session, Ruth taught our son to do exercises and immediately he said the tightness in his chest from his anxiety had noticeably lessened! Seeing how she helped my son, I, too, began seeing Ruth! After doing the exercises she asked me to do, I noticed that I hadn’t been to the chiropractor in over 5 months and I used to go twice a month! Ruth also helped me with anxiety and other issues. Thank you so much Ruth for helping us!

I first used Brain Gym to help me learn Italian to prepare for studying overseas. After just one session, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my comfort with the language and ability to recall vocabulary.

My eldest daughter was having difficulty with reading and writing. Ruth Murray showed a group of homeschool mothers activities that children can do to improve neurological functioning. After trying these exercises with Katie for several weeks, I noted that Katie's read aloud and writing skills were improving...Her abilities in all areas improved. I am grateful to Ruth for generosity in sharing the "Brain Gym" exercises with me.

We were concerned and frustrated when our 7th grade son was not achieving academically as we knew he could.  He was having difficulty with his language arts assignments. The evening after his session with Ruth, he turned in his spelling sentences as usual.  The changes in his spelling, handwriting, sentence structure and word choices were dramatic; the learning-logjam was broken.  He had gained the confidence he was lacking.  He has met with much academic and personal success ever since.  After achieving a 30 on his ACT test, he was accepted at a prestigious university and offered academic scholarships.  We are grateful for the intervention Ruth provided at a time when all else was failing.

I cannot believe what a difference the exercises make. I was able to stay calm. Thank you so much!!

We'd practiced, we'd drilled, we'd done everything we could think of-- and my 8 year old daughter was no further in memorizing her arithmetic tables than when she'd started.  We had her do one session doing movements with Ruth, who gave her some exercises to do at home.  In a month, it was hard to remember she'd ever had problems -- things just started clicking for her, and the memorization went easily.

(My son) is so much more present. I feel more of an easy connection with him. He seems more plugged in and better able to share opinions. More active in little ways.

I am grateful for the memory improvement I experienced after just a few sessions of Brain Gym therapy with Ruth Murray. The evidence was my increased algebra test scores!

Since Robert and Victoria have begun their motion training, we have seen great improvement in their awareness of their surroundings. They are more confident in their abilities in schoolwork and an increase in being able to socialize better with their peers. Both Robert and Victoria have become more grounded in life, to do chores around the house as part of growing up to prepare themselves for life. From their mom, Kris:I would like to encourage anyone who is seeking to find hope and healing for his or her children to consider going to Ruth Murray at Movement Solutions for assistance.  She has a wealth of experience and a toolbox full of techniques.  My two youngest children are adopted and have had challenges in their early years and have been struggling with attachment issues as a result.I have noticed significant improvements in both of my children, especially in Robert who has more noticeable sensory issues and who therapists have shared concerns about his propriocentric and vestibular senses.  However, despite having gone to many different types of specialists, there have not been any effective processes for helping to overcome his difficulties.
Ruth’s therapies have been helping to integrate reflexes and dispel the effects of trauma.  She has helped to accept and love them as they are, while also removing the obstacles and not just teaching strategies to cope with their issues.  She is helping them to heal and move through challenges.  By celebrating each success and respecting their growth and limits, she is gently moving them to be prepared for the future and grounding them  in the world.
