Kinds Of Movement Based Treatment

By Mary Howard


To enhance our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, we need to incorporate certain practices into our lifestyles. Movement based treatment is one of the things that we need to integrate into our daily routines in order to help us maintain vigor and vitality. There are different types of this kind of therapy.

Eastern therapies are the most renowned movement based therapy. Their origin can be traced to South East Asia. They include yoga, qigong and tai chi. Initially, they were used for spiritual meditation and as a self defense mechanism but have gradually developed into physical therapies. Taoist monks are known for advancing certain breathing and body motion rehearses in order to enhance mental acuity. Today, they are mostly known for their ability to elongate life and improve health and immunity. They have even been incorporated into fitness programs.

The Rolfing treatment incorporates quite unusual techniques combining physicality and verbal communication. This is mostly done with the purpose of making people have an awareness of their erect bearing during normal body undertakings. It helps increase energy, flexibility and harmony with nature. It is commonly used in the rehabilitation of those who have brain injuries and autistic children.

Authentic motion is based upon dance and complex psychology. Popularly known as AM, it has no gesture tutoring. All that is needed is the mover and a spectator. The doer waits and heeds to impulses directing him or her about what needs to be done. The impulses may be visible or invisible to the actor but he or she has to move with the impulsive movements that arise. Body motions could be in rejoinder to an emotion, thought, pain or any other feeling. The presence of a spectator is meant to give the doer an opportunity to speak with someone about the experience.

Gabrielle Roth and Anna Halprin remedies make use of vibrant exercises. They mostly emphasize on personal development, expression, awareness and relationship with others. These exercises aid in increasing muscle activity, healthy joints, and the prevention of physical wounds. The fact that the exercises are spirited also plays an important role in easing stress and anxiety. Blood supply to various body organs is improved too.

Aston Patterning therapy is concerned with how one can increase the ease with which daily activities are conducted. Its foundation lies in the maintenance of body fitness through warm ups, aerobic exercises and stretching. Through such activities, muscle coordination is increased. Cardiac health also improves.

The Rosen therapy encompasses modest fun drills done as music plays in the background. This is always done in a group situation. The body gets reinvigorated through activities such as dancing. This helps increase body balance and also increase blood supply to essential organs because it stimulates unproblematic breathing. The most common type of Rosen therapy is Zumba, which has gained global attention.

The nervous system has a huge effect on the body. It controls muscular movements. Ideokenesis therapy is concerned with energizing the nervous system for optimal body motions. It uses mental pictures to make the nervous system stimulate the correct type of muscles for a body action. Actions can therefore be understood from a mental point of view.
