The Franklin Method®: The future of movement. Why?
Franklin Method®: The future of movement, Why?
*Because it makes sense that our training forms, sports and arts should be informed by how the body is designed and how the brain can partake most efficiently in producing physical change and improvement.
*Because it makes sense that physical therapy and rehab should be informed by how the body is designed to move and how the brain can partake the most efficiently in the healing process. After all most complaints when people go to see a doc- tor is of a musculo-skeletal nature yet better movement is not part of the therapeutic intervention. You do the math.
*Because it makes sense that we use the scientific understanding coming out of a more integrative science; biomechanical, cognitive, evolutionary, somatic and use it to insert ourselves more elegantly and delightfully into our biological home on this planet; our body.
Because it makes sense that if commercial interests and advertisement science knows enough about our cognitive patterns to direct us to their products, surely we can learn to direct our mind for our own purposes.
The future of movement because it is the sensible thing to do, it makes sense.
The Franklin Method® teaches the practical fundamentals of body design and how to efficiently integrate imagery into movement. You learn how your body is designed to function based on the science of movement, bio-mechanical principles and evolutionary history. That gives you an insight into how you are currently using that design and from there you can choose your course of action, regimen of exercise, mental training, therapy etc from an informed perspective.
You learn how to use your mind effectively by the application of dynamic imagery. We use an integral palette of the different usages of imagery; the practical science of using your mind to achieve improvement in any area you may choose.
Imagery training has been scientifically proven to:
- Facilitate injury rehabilitation, Acquire and practice new skills
- Improve confidence, Developing coping strategies.
- Improve Performance, improve concentration
- Enhance health
This is why imaging as a way of learning, changing and refining has been developed into therapies for rehabilitation and techniques for training of dancers, musicians and athletes. In the Franklin Method® we believe its time we make these resources for development and wellbeing accessible to all people. Focus the attention, motivate our search for skills and knowledge and find new ways to employ them. This encourages confidence to develop our talents, skills and competence.
Inspiring, challenging, exciting, playful and in the end transformative.
