Anatomy in Motion™ Practitioner
Interested in experiencing movement ease, awareness & move better?
I can help restore efficient & functional joint motion.
Hi. Welcome!
I'm Je-an. Here's what I know.
1. Our body is meant to move. It is constantly striving for homeostasis (inner balance and stability) and it's 100% functional despite injuries and habitual movement patterns. As a MOVEMENT & BODYWORK practitioner, I help restore the compensatory patterns your body adapted from those injuries & habitual movement or posture. Also, our state of mind & emotions has a direct effect on our physical body.
2. When you notice that you cannot do the activities that you used to do because your body feels stiff, has discomfort or pain, it is possible that your joints and soft tissues has increased unnecessary tension and loose its centre, probably due to movement habits, repetitive movement patterns, previous injuries that might not look like is connected to the present area of concern or symptoms. Daily functional movements like walking, sport related feats like Billmann spin, or ballet related position like an arabesque are examples worth exploring which joint/s are limited or moving too much, how the compensation relates and affects the whole body movement.
3. Your resting posture has influence in how your joints and soft tissues function. You've had this nagging thing that doesn't seem to go away. Assessing your posture, joint motions, gait analyses and determine if you have surgical intervention or wound scars, or scar tissue adhesions is initially what I would do. I would then create a plan for your goals starting with what is most efficient for the whole body. I'm interested in how well you can sense your body in space and in relation to other body parts.
4. I'm not here to "fix" you or get rid of your symptoms. Rather, we work together as an interactive team. I will help figure out where is the problem and investigate for the solution. You will take ownership of your body and take responsibility for the daily movements drills with the intentions we discussed. Your solution will help your body create better alignment, freedom & range of motion, and enhance the quality of your life and physical performance.
5. Can I help you with what is bothering you? I do not know if I can help you just by you telling me about what is going on in your body without seeing how you move and how your body holds itself. So I cannot answer the question until I've worked with you.
