The Perfection of Imperfection

Recently J.R. gave a lesson in his student’s home. His mother was giving piano and voice lesson at the same time. He described this experience as follows:

We considered switching the ABM lesson to the basement family room so the music lesson would not ”interfere”. I am glad we didn’t.

Having two different lessons going on across the hall from each other proved magical. As the music and the occasional “mistake” flowed from the music lesson there came a subtle realization that the same thing was going on in their lesson as in ours – a striving for improvement.

The singing prompted my student to vocalize. I responded. While not a song, like across the hall, the back and forth was rhythmic, melodic, joyous, and lasted longer than ever before. It also triggered more movement, more fluidity, and more participation throughout my student’s body.

In the end we were smiling, making noise, and he was rocking and rolling all over the bench - easy, not impossible anymore, even approaching elegant.

Inspired by the “interference” of the other room we dared to be great.

Review from our durable and playful client Paul who had a stroke in April 2020 and his wonderful supportive wife Sally.
⠀
It’s an honor and joy to see them coming back almost every month for more ABM lessons.
⠀
“My husband had a stroke in April 2020 leaving him with little movement in the right arm and some movement on the right leg so that he can walk with a tripod cane.
⠀
We began our times with Angelina and JR in February 2022
⠀
First we were very impressed with their knowledge of neuromovement and their manner with working with Paul. We came every other weekend (driving 2 hours and staying the weekend), six sessions, two a day for three days - JR in the AM and Angelina in the PM. After four weekends we took a month or so off and began again, at their suggestion.
⠀
After almost a year, we are seeing them about once a month. It is great having two different perspectives seeing Paul as they work together on his therapy.
⠀
The biggest improvement that we have seen is his flexibility, his flow, in movement. Instead of being a stiff block trying to move, walk, etc, he is much more smooth.
⠀
Getting out of bed is no longer a struggle. Picking things up off the floor is amazing. We are so thankful to have found them!”

A double present this week in an email:

It’s great to have devoted, discerning, diligent parents who see, hear and feel the changes in their son.

It’s also great to have definitive, measurable, medical confirmation of the changes in brain activity from ABM lessons.

The recommendation is below:

“JR has been working with our 4 yr old son, Brooks, in ABM therapy for about 8 months, averaging 5 times per month. Brooks has quad spastic cerebral palsy, is currently non mobile, non verbal, has a seizure disorder, and several disabilities.

We have been so impressed at our son's responsiveness to JR in therapy. Brooks usually has several meltdowns in traditional PT. But from the first lesson with JR, Brooks has been calm, cooperative and receptive. We've seen Brooks become more aware of his body and gain better control of his movement. JR is so encouraging and patient with Brooks. The many small movements he does each lesson are giving Brooks better quality of life and independence. It's remarkable.

Brooks recently had an EEG at the hospital. Our follow up visits with neurology are usually pretty discouraging as they describe the erratic discharges and seizure activity in our son's brain with phrases like "his brain looks like it's on fire". During our follow up visit last week, our neurologist said the EEG now shows that Brooks's brain is communicating better with itself and across both sides, and is sending clearer signals! There were less discharges and less seizure activity. His sleep pattern was deeper. Our neurologist agreed that ABM therapy is improving our son's brain/body connection. He noted less spasticity in the legs and arms. He said Brooks is doing great and encouraged us to continue with ABM. We could not be more pleased and hopeful!”
