Frequently Asked Questions

ABM NeuroMovement® is not a medical provider and unable to submit insurance claims. Katerina Boldyreva ABM NeuroMovement® Practitioner can provide you with a receipt indicating the number of sessions and the amount you paid with the description of "Neuromuscular re-education" for you to submit to your health insurance company if you choose to do so.

After a couple of movement sessions, together we can determine a frequency, which is dependent on the changes experienced and desired goals. The most effective approach is an intensive block of sessions once a month or once in two months. And for more experienced learners, sometimes weekly sessions are more suitable.  Ideally, I prefer my clients to become better learners, knowing and sensing what is working best for them and becoming aware of any regression to former movement patterns that create discomfort, to better inform timeframes suitable for follow ups. 

Please bring comfortable clothing that will not restrict your movements. Please do not wear skirts to sessions as we will often be moving legs and skirts will not be of any help to do so. And also  I would suggest you bring layers so that you can adjust if it is too hot or too cold. 
For children. Parents, please bring anything that will make your child feel more comfortable during the sessions, favorite toys, books, blankets, bottle etc. Some children get very hungry during the sessions so having a snack and a drink is a good idea. It’s best to dress your child in clothing that is comfortable and easy to move in.

During the sessions I offer your child a process that provides your child’s brain the opportunity to learn and acquire skills and functions despite her/his challenges
We know that almost any child can learn and improve!

But I can not predict a specific outcome at a specific time.  

I suggest you give yourself the rest after a session to avoid strenuous activities. The longer our brain has time to perceive the changes after a session the better for integration. Often we can return to old patterns of movement when using force or going fast, so rest and good sleep aid integration of learning. I also ask them to refine their awareness of sensing what feels different, what actions seem easier and so on, as they go about their day, noting any changes in comfort levels or ease. 
For children. Sometimes children will spontaneously integrate new skills after a session and begin to do something they haven’t done by themselves before, such as coming up to sitting, rolling or crawling. As parents, your silent enthusiasm when these new skills evolve is important. Do not take away from their learning by distracting them or asking them to repeat the new skill. Learning is accelerated when we allow for their own learning process to evolve and refine the skill at their own pace.
