What is NeuroMovement®
ABM® NeuroMovement® is a body of knowledge and professional practice grounded in neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity—the brain's lifelong capacity to learn, adapt, and create new possibilities through experience.
Using the Nine Essentials, NeuroMovement® works with movement, attention, variation, and awareness to positively influence learning and development. It helps create the conditions for a person to notice differences, explore, problem-solve, and discover new possibilities—not only in movement, but also in thinking, communication, self-awareness, and everyday function.
Children with developmental challenges, adults seeking greater ease and function, and individuals of all ages can benefit from engaging their natural capacity for learning and change.
NeuroMovement® Supports
- Learning and development
- Movement and coordination
- Thinking and problem-solving
- Communication and self-awareness
- Health and well-being
- Greater ease and function
- New possibilities at any age
How Does NeuroMovement® Relate to Neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity, also called brain plasticity, is the brain's ability to change, adapt, and form new connections through experience and learning.
ABM® NeuroMovement® draws on this capacity through movement with attention, variation, and awareness, to name a few essentials. Rather than relying solely on repetition or predetermined movement goals, the approach creates opportunities for individuals to notice differences, explore new possibilities, and discover more effective ways of moving, thinking, and learning.
These principles are expressed through the Nine Essentials of ABM® NeuroMovement®, developed by Anat Baniel.
