Many have informed and inspired the MovePT journey. May these resources encourage you to explore the power of movement and the integration of art and science that is physical therapy.

Real change for real pain. This is a brilliant take on managing pain through science education and community. Jill Fancher, PhD, and Laura Smith, PsyD, are clinical psychologists here in Vancouver, WA. They do amazing work.

Therapeutic Movement:
This is the web site for my 2 year comprehensive movement training. I started this journey in January 2013, and will complete the course of study and testing components in October 2014. I am so excited to collaborate with my instructor, Gordon Browne, PT, on a geriatrics-focused professional level course beginning in November 2014. Check out this site to learn more about my training as an Orthopedic Movement Specialist.
FRANKLIN METHOD:
Eric Franklin teaches imagery and movement to dancers and at universities. His books are great resources, and the art and imagery he uses in his books and on the web site are really beautiful. The Franklin Methodteaches “how to use your brain to improve your body’s function. It can be applied to improve all of your abilities. It all starts with the knowledge that we have the power to change.” So true!
ANAT BANIEL METHOD:
The Anat Baniel Method℠ is a cutting-edge science-based NeuroMovement® approach that transforms the lives of children and adults. By accessing the amazing powers of the brain to change itself the method helps people discover how to improve the mind and body, dramatically enhancing physical, cognitive, emotional and creative performance. This method evolved from Anat’s background and the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. – (from website). Anat’s book, Kids Beyond Limits, is an absolutely indispensable resource.
