Categories Of Movement Based Treatment

By Mary Howard


To augment our physical, psychological and spiritual wellbeing, we need to try out certain therapies. Movement based treatment is a diverse field with different modus operandi, which if implemented help better our lives. These also help us have high stamina in our day to day activities.

One of the most prominent forms of treatment is the Eastern therapy. It originated from the south eastern parts of Asia and includes yoga, qigong and tai chi. Initially used in self defense and divine meditation, they have greatly evolved into their modern forms. Taoist monks are the pioneers of certain types of breathing and body movements whose aim was to enhance ones mental capacity. In recent times, they have been assimilated into fitness regimes due to their capacity to enhance youthfulness and resistance to diseases.

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, commonly known as AM has its foundation on a complex psychical and dance routine. In this form of therapy, no gesticulations are used. Instead, there is a mover and a spectator. The latter has to be there since the doer has to tell someone of the experiences he or she went through during the process. Basically, impulses are availed to the doer, about the actions he or she has to perform. Certain movements will arise from the impulses, which the doer ought to observe.

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.

Rosen therapy taps into our normal pleasurable undertakings such as dancing as a form of exercising. This is often done with music in the background. Focus is on groups with the aim of reinvigorating the body and increasing its poise and stability. Zumba, a widely recognized workout dance routine is the most prominent type of Rosen therapy because it incorporates music, dance and fitness.

The nervous system has a huge effect on the body. It controls muscular movements. Ideokenesis therapy is concerned with energizing the nervous system for optimal body motions. It uses mental pictures to make the nervous system stimulate the correct type of muscles for a body action. Actions can therefore be understood from a mental point of view.
