The Anat Baniel Method for NeuroMovment® (ABMNM®) is a holistic, scientific based hands-on therapy approach, that helps adults and children improve the quality of their lives, by tapping into the brain’s remarkable capacity to upgrade and change. NeuroMovment® uses this neuroplasticity to promote healing, rehabilitation, and development. It transforms lives by helping individuals move beyond pain and limitations.
Using movement to tap into the brain’s potential, children and adults discover new ways to improve their mind and body, enhancing their physical, cognitive, emotional, and creative performance.
Movement is life.
Life is a process.
Improve the quality of the process and improve the quality of life itself.
-Mosche Feldenkrais
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a hands on modality, that uses a gentle touch to help release restrictions and stress patterns deep in the body. The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the central nervous system, the brain and spinal cord. CST helps free the central nervous system, releasing deeply held tensions in the body, so it can operate at it's best. It helps improve the health and performance of the whole body.
CranioSacral Therapy helps facilitate the body's natural and innate healing processes. It is increasingly used as a preventive health measure to bolster resistance to disease. CST can also lead to significant relief of pain and dysfunction in adults and children with a wide range of healthcare challenges.
Natural Pain Relief
Pain is often caused by ingrained habitual movement patterns. To eliminate pain, we must discover new ways to move. NeuroMovement® and the 9 Essentials provide individuals the opportunity to discover new possibilities of movement to reduce and eliminate pain.
Recovery & Rehab from Injury
NeuroMovment® shifts the focus from trying to fix the body, and trying to force it to do what it can’t to focusing on finding new possibilities for movement and recovery.
Wellness & Anti-Aging
NeuroMovement® lessons at any age can enhance vitality, health and wellness. As we age, changes occur in our mind and body. These lessons combined with the 9 Essentials help regain and maintain, movement, flexibility and thinking.
Children
NeuroMovment® combined with the 9 Essentials creates conditions for any child to grow and improve their patterns of movement, thinking, emotions and even social interactions.
Athletes & Artists
NeuroMovement® lessons can help athletes and artists find easier paths for movement, to enhance their performance.
Neurological Challenges
NeuroMovement® provide the opportunity after a stroke or a diagnosis of a neurological disorder for new neural connections to be made. These connections can help improve movement, and cognition.
