Neuroplasticity is relatively new in the world of science. As such, many modalities and therapies have not moved away from treatments intended for a concrete brain. ABM Neuromovement® practitioners know the brain can change, and with that notion the impossible has now become possible. With this knowledge that the brain has the capacity to grow and transform, no disease, injury or limitation has a definite prognosis. Whether you struggle with movement limitations, cognitive challenges, or performance obstacles, take note that there is no limit to your potential.

An Anat Baniel Method of Neuromovement® lesson is intentionally crafted to create an ideal learning environment for you as the student. In the lesson I will guide you using touch and/or verbal instructions through a movement sequence. Your awareness of your own habits will become heightened and with this awareness will begin the process of change. I will introduce you to functional movement variations that will expand your movement repertoire. This sensory information has the potential to create new neural pathways in your brain or wake up old pathways that have become dormant due to stress, trauma, habits, or disease. There is no correcting, no assessing, no flow charts or spread sheets. This method is process based with a focus on finding comfort and ease. Without gadgets or tools I use my hands to touch and connect with your current organization. This can be quite settling and healing to the nervous system. I lead you through early developmental movement patterns and functional movements exploring your current efficiency. By exploring, you already will begin to shift, as you notice and learn about yourself.

As you progress I will gently increase the demand but only to a level that ensures success. The brain thrives on success and your desire to continue to learn will be ignited. Clients often report feeling lighter, more flexible, more physically capable and perform better. Most importantly, their own confidence in their mind and body is restored.

These lessons are done on a table and fully clothed. Clients can visit me in my studio or in the comfort of their homes (+travel fee). Lessons are often conducted in an intensive series, small frequent bursts of information, to maximize learning outcomes. For more information on the Anat Baniel Method® of Neuromovement® read here.

ATHLETES and MUSICIANS

ABM Neuromovement® addresses habits and encourages change. Athletes, due to their rigorous training and competitive schedules are highly prone to rigid habits that may be less than ideal. Herein lies an approach to movement that is slow, gentle and works with your system to explore variations that may be easier and more efficient. Individually crafted lessons will cater to your specific sport and habits within that sport.

ABM Neuromovement® can be transformational to the quality of an athlete’s movement and outcomes. The focus is on improving the process of movement. This can include eradicating unnecessary efforts and simplifying complex movement patterns. The focus is on HOW movement is being organized. How could it be easier? How could it be more efficient? How could it be more graceful?

Benefits are seen not only in physical performance but in mental clarity and confidence as well. Neuromovement® lessons are demanding not only physically but on the mental capacity of the athlete. Taking time to become attuned with oneself on a table in a quiet and peaceful setting provides the sensory information needed to be able to connect in the midst of competition.

***Lessons are ideally conducted in off season, or a time when workout/training intensity is significantly lower. See above for lesson details.
