Do you know how to move? LEARNING TO CRAWL BEFORE YOU CAN WALK By Fred Samorodin, Registered Physical Therapist and Bodyworker (Vancouver, B.C., Canada) Perhaps the question should be not “knowing” how to move, but being able to “feel” how to move! There are essentially three ways we all learn –learn how to think and learn how to move: 1) by seeing (visual) instructions; 2) by hearing (auditory) instructions; 3) through feeling and experiencing touch or movement (tactile and kinesthetic). In our early childhood, as the saying goes, “you have to learn how to crawl before you can learn how to walk”. By the time most children in reach 4 years of age, they have learned how to walk. Their culture considers their kinesthetic learning having reached a peak and, then, for the next 10-15 years, there is a concerted effort made to develop their “brains” visually and auditorily by having them sit for hours at a time doing the “real” learning. Most recently, some readers have discovered the challenges and pleasures of a new, for them, kinesthetic learning experience—the MasterMoves Core Training Program! As a Canadian Trained Physical Therapist, I have channeled my career into helping people with physical challenges through bodywork and movement therapy. Clients inevitably have a kinesthetic learning experience everytime I work, hands-on, with them! However, they come in for an hour session not as a means to an end, but, with my guidance, as an end to a beginning! What?! By the time most of us have become adults (in this culture at least) we have lost most of our ability to learn kinesthetically. As Tom W. Myers, well-known bodyworker and author (April 1998, Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies) describes, we suffer from Kinesthetic dystonia! If bodywork such as Full Body Fascial Facilitation, craniosacral therapy, massage therapy, Advanced Bowen therapy or rolfing offer people a reintroduction to learning to move comfortably, then , for learning to advance, the Mastermoves Core Training Program offers an excellent way to take learning to move to the next level! Next article will discuss the importance of the body’s connective tissue, especially the fascia, in muscle work and joint movements. Easy to Follow Firm up your buns and abs!
