Movement Therapy and Analysis
Movement Therapy is the practice of cultivating an ability to listen to the body and allowing the body to guide us. It seeks to help clients discover how to be more authentic, at ease, and efficient in their body and with their movement. The practitioner acts as a collaborator and facilitator, supporting clients in developing ways of listening to body sensations, messages, and wisdom. Clients gain awareness about their movement patterns and postural habits, and how these relate to tension, pain, and emotional conditions. Exercises, imagery, anatomical diagrams, verbal instruction, and hands-on techniques are used to educate clients about body organization, movement, and movement potential.
