Why Choose NeuroMovement®?

 Learning occurs when the brain can perceive a difference. For many autistic kids, they may feel like they are living underwater or maybe in a blender, struggling to make sense of the world. NeuroMovement® provides quality information to the brain through slow, gentle movements that help the brain

perceive differences. This allows the brain to do its job; to make sense of the nonsense, and to put order in the disorder. 

We learn our experience. Often, kids who struggle at school are repeatedly asked to do things they are unable to do. The patterns of failure are being grooved into their brain day in and day out. What is their brain learning? That they suck at reading (or math, or writing or paying attention). NeuroMovement® creates the conditions the brain needs to learn and acquire new skills. It sets the child up for success by adding in variations and working with what they already know how to do. No endless drilling or rote repetitions required.

Anxiety causes our brain to function in a less than optimal way. When we are in survival mode (think fight or flight) we operate from more primitive areas of the brain. Our thinking becomes less nuanced and more black and white, our ability to find solutions is compromised, and we can be quite reactive to our environment. We can quickly become habituated to this way of being.

NeuroMovement® calms the nervous system and shifts us away from our unhelpful patterns. Through gentle, novel movements, new neural patterns are formed, creating new possibilities in how you move, think and feel.  

Typically when you have a concussion, there is a long list of things that you are told to avoid, but not a lot of suggestions of what you could do to feel better.
NeuroMovement® calms the nervous system after a traumatic injury and uses the brain's natural ability to make positive, immediate changes.

You may have experienced this before. You have pain, you see a healthcare practitioner and feel better, but only temporarily. Then you book another appointment, feel better for a bit, the pain comes back, and the cycle continues. This is because there is something in the way that you are moving that is less than ideal.  NeuroMovement® helps to move you beyond pain and limitations by making new neural connections in the brain that will replace old, painful, movement patterns with new ones. 

When there is an injury, the body protects itself by restricting movement in the impacted area. However, now that area will move as one stiff block, as that is how it now mapped in the brain.  NeuroMovement® seeks to differentiate movement between body parts, and remind the brain that these areas can move independently and freely without pain. 

What does movement have to do with thinking? Everything! NeuroMovement® connects to the brain through movement. By upgrading and improving the organization of movement in the body, the brain becomes better organized, which can lead to increased mental clarity, calm and confidence. It teaches your brain how to be a better brain!

 Growing older doesn’t have to mean aches and pains! Staying active is great, but most exercises are repetitive and don’t provide enough variation to the brain. NeuroMovement® engages the brain’s plasticity through slow, gentle and novel movements which will keep you moving freely for years to come.
