We hope this short guide to movement therapy speeds your personal journey towards alleviating suffering and restoring wellbeing. Based on Dr Bonnie’s own real-world research and experiments, this e-book exposes your mind (and body if you try them) to new approaches to movement therapy. If you are frustrated with conventional PT, not reducing chronic pain nor improving strength, or just need to try something new and different, we offer some exciting alternatives. Some are basic, like breathing and stretching. Others are familiar modalities like yogas and Tai Chi. Yet others are maybe not so familiar, like Feldenkrais and Gyrotonics. We discuss budgeting your time and money, too, important considerations for people with chronic inflammatory, autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Discover:
- Basic movement therapy options
- Expectations of each movement therapy experience
- Potential benefits and underlying research
- How to best budget your time and money
“For more than 30 years, I was an obedient physical therapy patient. I went to weekly PT, week after week, and never asked why I was not getting better. Every so often I changed therapists, hoping to see progress and alleviate my chronic pain. But my symptoms never showed improvement. Why did it take me 30 years to discover other approaches to movement therapy besides the standard PT prescribed to me by several different conventional doctors? Lo and behold, I found there are many more options. Through trial and experimentation, I was able to find my best fit movement therapies that effectively minimize my pain.”

[…] The patient then worsens and moves to the “red” phase of their path. This is where the patient bounces between specialists, tries different medications & therapies, and ultimately loses hope in the long-term remission of symptoms. Most of the problems for the autoimmune patient occur here. In my case, this included juggling both conventional and functional medical therapies. As a complex patient, the functional medicine “miracle cures” and positive patient testimonials did not apply. Since functional medical provider cost, supplements, and “advanced testing” are mostly cash pay, I felt like I was left with a lighter wallet and few improvements to my health. Despite 30 years of physical therapy for fibromyalgia and chronic pain, there were no movement therapy professionals to help me manage my pain. Here is what I learned the hard way about movement therapy. […]
