It is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.” Self- described as an out-of-the-norm doctor with a profound interest in cultural, traditional and all-natural forms of healing, Marium Murad has studied medicine and a number of health-related topics from around the world. Dr. Murad originally created the “Movement is Blessed” program for her ill, immobile mother as a practical solution for limited physical activity. The program, based on fundamental principles of human body science, has since been tested and proven as an effective, all-natural exercise program that is recognized nationwide. The program is currently available in Braille, Spanish and English and has upcoming translations in Vietnamese, Chinese, Hindi and Arabic.
