Categories 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.

The most prominent type of movement based rehabilitation are the Eastern therapies that emerged from South East Asia. These include yoga, qigong and tai chi. They emerged as spiritual and self defense practices but gradually evolved into restorative therapies. Taoist monks are renowned for using certain breathing and movement patterns to promote mental sharpness, body vitality and also in mediation. All these therapies gained worldwide recognition for their ability to prolong life and boost health. Today they are even practiced in fitness centers.

The Rolfing movement exploits the uncommon blend of physical touch and verbal communication. This is done with the aim of developing peoples perception of their upright posture through normal body motions. It aims at augmenting energy, tractability, stability and accord with gravity. Those who have had brain damage and autistic children are often treated using this method.

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.

The Aston Patterning treatment is concerned with how our day to day activities can be carried out with little strain. It mostly focuses of helping people stay fit by warming up, doing aerobics and stretching. These activities help in the maintenance of muscle power and structure and also improves cardiac health.

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.

Ideokenesis is a therapy that attempts to draw parallels between the body and the nervous system. It tries to understand how adjustment to the nervous system can cause the body to function optimally. It uses mental pictures to influence the nervous system to kindle muscles for a certain body action. Ideokenesis attempts to establish how ideas on the mind are transformed into physical actions.
