Progress doesn’t
have to stop.

Yes. The program is offered free of charge and is sustained by voluntary donations from those who find value in the work. There is never any obligation or pressure to donate.

Each series runs for 10 sessions. Routinely, the sessions are held weekly, however there may be occasional periods of 7 or 14 days without a session, mainly around public holidays. Sessions are 60 minutes long and held live over Zoom.

The program follows a progressive sequence through five core categories: Rolling → Crawling → Kneeling → Squatting → Standing & Walking.

You will receive clear instructions on session schedule, technology setup, required equipment, and weekly preparation. A separate “Once Accepted – What to Expect” guide will be provided.

Videos and personal information submitted in the application are used only for assessment and program placement. They are not shared outside the instructional team.

Written feedback and videos help the instructors understand how you move, what feels difficult, and what feels safe or unsafe and, importantly, how best to improve your movement. This information helps create a clearer picture of your needs. It is NOT used to determine whether or not you qualify for the program.

The program may be helpful for anyone who has experienced movement deficits as a result of brain injury. The aim is to improve your movement quality, confidence, control, and functional movement. Restoring and improving foundational movement patterns will benefit everyone, from people who cannot crawl or stand up, to those who can already walk but are looking to improve.

The program is safety-focused. You should not attempt any movement that causes pain, feels unsafe, or creates a risk of falling or injury. Clear feedback about what you cannot do is just as important as showing what you can do.

The application helps the instructors understand your brain injury history, previous movement or fitness background, current movement quality, rehabilitation experience, daily routine, and how you currently manage a series of basic movement tasks. This application also serves as a movement assessment to better help you later in the program.

You will be asked for your name, age, email address, details of your brain injury, your pre-injury movement or fitness background, your job or daily routine, your current movement quality, and any rehabilitation you have received or continue to receive.

No. The assessments are intended to identify what is currently within your ability and what is not. Not attempting a movement because it feels unsafe, painful, or risky is valuable information and will not negatively affect your registration. The quality of your movement in the completed assessments will have zero impact on your eligibility to join the program.

Yes. You may have assistance from a trusted person if needed. Do not attempt any movement you cannot safely perform on your own. The assessment is simply meant to show where you currently are in your movement so we can place you appropriately in the program.

Please email Info@MovementProject.Rehab for all program enquiries. Use that address for any questions about the process, the 10-week sessions, or participation.

No. Do not perform any movement if you feel pain, anticipate pain, feel unsteady, or believe there is any risk of accident or injury. Instead, explain why you did not attempt it in the questionnaire.

If you are unsure, do not attempt the movement. Safety comes first. Use the written response area to explain your concern, such as pain, balance issues, fatigue, lack of confidence, or risk of falling.

If you feel this is a medical emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) right away, or contact the specialist who handles your care.

No. The quality and honesty of your feedback are more important than the current quality of your movement. The goal is to understand your present movement ability so the instructors can identify the most appropriate support or intervention.

Choose a clear, quiet area with enough floor space to move safely. Remove loose rugs, cords, furniture, pets, or other obstacles that could cause you to trip or lose balance. Make sure the floor surface is stable and not slippery. Any room in your house is fine as long as there is enough floor space to move safely.

If you have balance concerns, fatigue, dizziness, a history of falls, or uncertainty about getting up and down from the floor, consider having another person nearby for safety. They should not assist with the movement unless you need help to prevent a fall or injury.

Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath beyond what is normal for you, sudden weakness, numbness, confusion, nausea, loss of balance, or any feeling that you may fall or injure yourself. It is okay to stop and explain what happened in your written response.

Pause, rest, and only continue if you feel fully safe and ready. Fatigue is important feedback. If tiredness affects your movement, balance, confidence, or ability to continue, note this in the application. Remember: the complete application can be completed over multiple visits. Come back and complete it when your energy levels are higher.

If your symptoms are unusually worse, consider waiting until you are back to your typical baseline. If you do complete any part of the questionnaire while symptoms are elevated, explain this clearly so the instructors can better understand your situation.

Use support if you need it to stay safe, but describe exactly what support you used and why. If a movement cannot be attempted safely without support, it is better to stop and explain that than to risk injury.

Set up the camera before you begin, and do not hold the camera while moving. Place it on a stable surface where it can capture your full body without requiring you to step over equipment or move around obstacles. A full guide will be provided in the application.

Yes. In addition to your written responses, you must include a video of your attempts at each required movement. For movements that involve the left and right sides, provide one video for each side where applicable.

Your videos should clearly show your movement attempt from start to finish. Make sure your body is visible enough for the Movement Project/something is needed to see how you move, where you have trouble, and whether the movement appears safe or limited.

You need enough clear floor space to safely carry out and demonstrate the movements. Remove obstacles, make sure the floor surface is suitable, and only continue if you feel secure and confident. Most people use an open area in their living room. Use a yoga mat or carpet if the floor is hard. A large yoga mat (5’ x 7') if needed can be found here.

A smartphone or Laptop with webcam will be needed, the Zoom app should be downloaded (free) here, with a profile setup. The camera will need to positioned so your movements can be seen clearly when recording videos or participating in a video call. If possible, test the camera angle before beginning.

For each movement, choose the response that best describes your experience: you could not attempt it or felt pain; you could achieve parts of it; you could perform it but not exactly as desired; or you could achieve it as described. Then add written details explaining what happened.

Describe what you experienced during the movement. Helpful details include what felt difficult, whether you had pain or discomfort, whether one side felt different from the other, whether you needed support, how confident you felt, and whether the movement caused fatigue, imbalance, or hesitation.

That is useful information. Indicate that you could achieve parts of the movement and explain which parts were possible, which parts were difficult, and why you stopped or modified the movement.

Note the difference clearly. Several assessments ask for separate feedback for the left and right side, arm, leg, or movement direction. Differences between sides can help the instructors understand your movement needs.

Some movements, such as getting up from the floor or moving from kneeling to standing, may require more balance, strength, and confidence. Only attempt these if it is safe and you feel confident doing so.

Use the descriptions and linked demonstration videos as guidance, but do not force a movement beyond your ability. If you cannot complete the movement exactly as described, explain what changed and why.

Providing detailed strong responses that are honest, specific, and safety-focused. It explains what you attempted, what you noticed, what was challenging, what felt comfortable or uncomfortable, and why you did or did not continue.

Yes. Additional context can be helpful, especially if it explains how your injury affects your movement, energy, balance, confidence, work, daily activities, or ongoing rehabilitation.

Review your written answers and videos to make sure they are complete, clear, and accurate. Confirm that you have included videos for each required movement, including both sides where requested, and that you have explained any movement you did not attempt.
