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 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 therapies use vibrant practices, which give emphasis to personal progress, cognizance, countenance and sociability. This helps in enhancing muscle synchronization, joint forte, sporting performance and the deterrence of injuries. Due to the fact that this therapy is vigorous in nature, it helps ease emotional tension and anxiety. It also increases blood stream to body organs.

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 which stresses neuromuscular rejuvenation. It uses descriptions to condition the nervous system to rouse the right muscles for an intended body motion. If the nervous system gets a clear report of an intended motion, it will find a way to stimulate muscles to cause the motion. To augment equilibrium when standing for example, one needs to picture lines of movement wandering through their frames.
