The Anat Baniel Method (ABM) Neuromovement® is a unique and highly effective way to communicate to the brain through specific mindful, simple, intentional, gentle movements, literally rewiring it, creating and re-organizing connections through Neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity or Brain Plasticity is the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to internal or external stimuli by re-organizing its structure, functions, or connections.
ABM® movements can be used at any age to re-organize your brain to overcome pain, increase flexibility and strength, improve balance, and reach higher levels of physical, emotional and cognitive performance.
ABM Neuromovement® has the ability to make positive, immediate and powerful changes that can help alleviate neck, back and joint pain or treat limitations caused by trauma such as stroke. It can also produce profound and significant life-lasting positive changes, helping children diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Asperger’s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, learning disabilities, developmental disorders or any individual seeking to improve their brain life abilities.
ABM Neuromovement® is a unique, effective, simple way for people to feel more at home and comfortable in their bodies.
I have witnessed how ABM Neuromovement® has changed in a significant positive way the lives of people with hemiplegia after a stroke, that did not improve or minimally improved with traditional rehabilitation therapies.
Children in the autism spectrum, after doing ABM® no longer diagnosed in the spectrum, children with ADHD, Sensory Processing disorder and Dyspraxia having frequent and strong emotional outburst unable to join sports, now calmer, more connected and able to join school sports teams, being happier. In other cases children with cerebral palsy unable to walk, now able to walk. Individuals with chronic low back pain, now with no pain or minimal occasional discomfort. The list is long, as a Physician I continue to be gladly surprised by the changes that ABM Neuromovement® can bring to any individual. I have experienced the benefits of ABM® with my son and on myself after doing lessons during the ABM® training, which I do often to feel and function better.
Supported by the latest neuroscience research ABM Neuromovement® relies on Nine clearly defined and proven Essentials to create the necessary conditions for Life-changing results for both children and adults.
The Nine Essentials of Positive Brain Change help the brain to do its job well. Each of the Nine Essentials are designed to harness the brain’s capacity to heal itself, with remarkable and sometimes immediate results.
Each Essential helps the brain create new connections and avoid the rigidity of limiting patterns and habits. The 9 Essentials open up delightful, and often surprising, new possibilities.
Nine Essentials:
- Movement with Attention
- Slow
- Variation
- Subtlety
- Flexible Goals
- The Learning Switch
- Imagination & Dreams
- Awareness
- Enthusiasm
Anat Baniel Method (ABM) Neuromovement®, shifts the focus from fixing to connecting helping children and parents de-stress, focus, and grow. By focusing on the brain’s natural plasticity ABM Neuromovement® avoids imposing, fixing and correcting methods. The Nine Essentials instead create connections, safely, and comfortably while envisioning and developing new possibilities.
ABM Neuromovement® lessons are performed in two primary ways.
- Functional Synthesis (FS): in which the Certified Practitioner, or Teacher gives the lesson to the Client or Student who is positioned comfortably either on a padded table or seated restfully in a chair. In the case of some children, the child may be most comfortable seated in the parent’s lap, in a stroller, or even carried by the parent or guardian.
- Transforming Movement Lessons (TML): lessons that enable the Student to perform gentle, unique, simple, movements by verbal instructions from the Teacher while the client remains in a comfortable position conducive to the exercise.
Lessons typically last 30-45 minutes. For young children it is important to bring a snack as they can get hungry.
To allow connections to take place it is recommended to do the lessons in “intensives” 4-6 lessons in consecutive days, each intensive every 1-2 weeks. A typical series of intensives would consist of 2 lessons in 1 day (at least 1 hour apart) and so forth to complete the 4-6 lessons, or 1 lesson each day for 4-6 days. In this way new and renewed neural connections can take place and form a positive trend.
Wearing comfortable clothing that allows free movement is necessary.
After the lesson low demand activities, eating well, remaining hydrated and sleeping well is necessary, in addition to being aware of changes in any aspect of your day, either sense of well-being, perception, anything new or different in Your own self.
