Relieve Muscular Tension & Pain
Muscular tension develops when you form an unconscious habit of using more muscular effort than you need to, or when your muscles remain contracted even when not in use. Tension habits frequently become chronic, and cause muscular pain, restricted movement, fatigue, and depression. The lessons give you techniques to relieve muscular tension and to help you relax your muscles whenever you want.
Minimize the Effects of Aging
It is often assumed that poor posture, stiffness, and pain are unavoidable aspect of getting older. But this is not so! Many of the physical discomforts we accept as time goes by can be easily avoided. These lessons improve your flexibility, posture, and freedom of movement, at any age.
Enhance Your Athletic Performance
The movement lessons incorporate recent discoveries in neurophysiology and biomechanics to improve your neuromuscular organization. You will experience greater efficiency of movement, more power and speed, improved accuracy and coordination in all your physical activities.
Speed Up Recovery Time After Injury
After an injury or strain, the lessons can speed the healing process by relaxing your muscles, reducing inflammation, and stimulating your circulation. Sometimes an injury causes discomfort that lingers for months or even years. Often this is because we unconsciously develop compensatory posture and movement habits in order to avoid irritation of the injured area. These self-protective habits can persist long after the pain has gone and many cause chronic misalignment and muscular discomfort. By increasing your awareness you can recover fully. You will learn to dissolve old postural and movement habits that are no longer necessary thereby reconditioning your body with healthier neuromuscular patterns.
Increase Your Flexibility
Your body needs to be flexible in order to maintain the health of your joints and muscles, and move with comfort and ease. As your self-awareness increases unhealthy neuromuscular habits of stiffness and tension dissolve and your flexibility increase dramatically. When your body is more flexible, you will feel freer and healthier in ways you may not have felt in many years.
