# Primitive Reflex Integration Case Studies

##  Car Sickness Disappears after doing Rhythmic Movements

   May 09, 2024

## OT no longer suffers from motion sickness

This occupational therapist experienced motion sickness to the point where she was unable to read even one sentence during car rides. After doing rhythmic movements from the [Brain and Sensory Foundations course](https://moveplaythrive.com/index.php?Itemid=362 "Primitive reflex integration, top-rated CEU course") her car sickness resolved completely—and she could read in the car for over two hours!

*Submitted by L.H., Occupational Therapist*

 | Before | After |
|---|---|
| Extreme and frequent car sickness | Able to read in the car without nausea |

Overall **the biggest benefit that I gained for myself from doing the rhythmic movements is that I no longer get car sick.** When I first started, I couldn’t tolerate the rhythmic movements for longer than about 30 secs. I quickly gained tolerance to several minutes. I improved so much that I was able to help my sister study for an exam by reading her questions while riding in a car for 2 ½ hours while she was driving. I was able to repeat this going home the next day. I could never have tolerated even reading more than a sentence before. **That demonstrated to me personally how powerful these movements are.**
