ATHLETES
MOVAIDO HELPS ATHLETES BY…
Improving the quality of movement instead of merely quantity of fitness
Developing greater movement ease, preventing injury, and learning more precision
Better recovery, better anticipation
To create better learners by focusing on the building blocks of motor development and smoother and more fluid movements that lead to movement efficiency.
“In modern and Western society we tend to reach higher levels of performance by using more effort. In the Feldenkrais Method we learn a different approach which is based on completely the opposite idea: by reducing effort and with a clearer goal-oriented motivation, we work on the quality of action.”
-Kurt Kothbauer, Strength Coach, Canadian National Ski Team
Feldenkrais & High-Performance Sport: The Canadian Alpine Ski Team
These Neuromuscular/Biomechanical learning exercises improve “ Movement Intelligence” - the efficiency of coordination, agility /dexterity, flexibility, and mobility, as well as body and spatial awareness.
This leads to an improvement in an athlete’s:
Ability to express power while decreasing how much effort is required to do so.
Recoverability -much more rapidly from sudden changes in movement, accidents, collisions, destabilizations, and forced translations.
