“Movement is life.”
- Dr Moshé Feldenkrais
There is a widely accepted presumption that after a certain age, our vitality and ability to learn begin to decrease.
Common complaints may include:
​​
-
Chronic pain or stiffness
-
Difficulty climbing stairs
-
Tripping or falling more often
-
Forgetfulness or lack of energy
-
Difficulty getting out of bed or a chair
-
​Difficulty standing up when seated on the floor
However, our brain is a powerful tool capable of adapting and changing throughout our lifetime. By enhancing the connection between brain and body, it is possible to refine our movement and upgrade our functionality to improve the typical symptoms of ageing.
Our experience has shown that ABM® NeuroMovement® and The Nine Essentials can reawaken the ability to feel, sense, and connect with the body by increasing awareness of the different parts of the body and the relationships between these parts.

As new neural connections are created and new habits and movement patterns are formed, new possibilities open up for increased mobility, flexibility, and vitality.
Examples of positive outcomes include:
-
Reduced Tension and Pain
-
Increased Mobility and Vitality
-
Increased Strength and Flexibility
-
Improved Balance and Coordination

Rehabilitation and Recovery
If you are struggling to regain daily function post-injury, surgery or stroke, we offer a holistic approach to rehabilitation and recovery by meeting each client where they are, starting with what they can do, and guiding them through the process of feeling, sensing, and reconnecting with their body.
Rather than asking them to push harder, we guide them to move smarter by incorporating The Nine Essentials to enhance the connection between the brain and body, and elevate self-awareness in movement and thought.
The brain's innate plasticity allows for the relearning of tasks that we take for granted, such as sitting, standing, walking and more. As new neural connections are created and new habits and patterns are formed, greater possibilities open up to improve mobility, reduce chronic pain, and regain daily function in a safe and comfortable way.
High Performers
High-performing individuals such as athletes, musicians, dancers and CEOs, those at the top of their game, can also benefit greatly from this Method. Learn to overcome stiffness, pain and limitation, often brought on by practicing the same patterns over and over again for many years, and discover comfort, flexibility, ease of movement and improved performance.
“M fractured her wrist and still experienced pain, stiffness and reduced mobility in the wrist, hand, arm and shoulder one year after the cast had been removed and after several months of physiotherapy. After one lesson, she noticed improved circulation in the hand and arm, reduced pain and stiffness, and increased range of motion in the shoulder, arm, hand and wrist."
​“Y engaged in an intense course of physiotherapy following a cycling accident, but eventually reached a plateau regarding his rehabilitation. Through a series of guided lessons, he noticed improved balance and coordination, increased flexibility and strength, and also a level of mental clarity that he had not experienced since the accident."
“After a fracture to her femur and surgery to insert metal rods in both legs, L engaged in regular physiotherapy but was unable to climb stairs unassisted and continued to walk with a waddle. After a series of guided lessons, she was once again able to climb stairs unassisted and also walked with greater ease and fluidity .”
