The Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® is a cutting edge, science-based approach for neurological growth that evolved from the work of Moshe Feldenkrais and Anat Baniel.
It capitalizes upon the reality of brain plasticity, taking advantage of the fact that the brain can change for the better in response to the correct stimuli. Through gentle, innovative movements, the Anat Baniel Method (ABM) wakes up the brain to move beyond limitations and overcome pain. Using the feedback from the central nervous system, the practitioner gives the brain specific sensory and motor information, guiding it towards healthier patterns in order to overcome debilitating limitations.
Everything we see a healthy child or an adult do is the result of the process of differentiation in the brain. Each person’s specific experiences shape the way in which their brain processes information so when a problem such as a stroke, brain injury, autism, cerebral palsy, or a genetic disorder disrupts the process, the individual manifests a host of limitations. Often, there is a great emphasis on trying to get a person to do what they are supposed to be doing based on his or her specific age, but ABM NeuroMovement® takes a very different approach. Instead of trying to directly fix the problem by focusing on what they cannot do, the focus shifts to where the solutions actually lie. The brain must learn the easiest, the most effective, and the most painless way of operating in order to achieve greater, overall well-being.
When the brain learns to notice the differences, it can create new and more efficient neural pathways for more efficient living. Old pathways that drive pain and limitation can diminish and new pathways that promote vitality emerge. The Anat Baniel Method has been used to help restore and improve the physical, cognitive, and emotional functions for people of all ages and conditions.
