“Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
A MOVEMENT THERAPY SERVICE
Movere Magis is a movement therapy service by Jeroen Oeyen from Optima Forma specifically tailored to the teachings & philosophy of Anatomy in Motion. In this service we will partner up to find the cause of your (recurrent) mechanical pain or discomfort … And use movement as a way out of it.
Considering that the site of pain is rarely the cause, we always look at the body as a whole. We then map out how your body holds itself, moves … We do all of this just to answer the question: What is missing?
E.g.: What if you have recurrent neck pain because of an old knee injury? If that knee can’t bend properly, even though it’s asymptomatic, your body will find another way to move. Since your body will do everything it can to keep you as functional as possible. And that could be causing a sore neck.
The next step is to actually move. We will show your body a way to create an environment that allows it to take pressure off an area … and then all of a sudden, ‘magical things’ can happen.
Spoiler-alert!
I can’t promise any magic. But I can promise you will discover a lot about your body, yourself … So that you can learn to work with your body, not on it. Believe me, that’s a big difference.
ABOUT ME
Hi,
I’m Jeroen Oeyen from Optima Forma. I’ve been working as a personal trainer for 9 years now and I love it!
In my mission to create happy and healthy people through the use of physical activity, I was faced with challenges along the way by:
highly motivated people who wanted to train, but couldn’t move properly …
people in pain who wanted to try movement therapy after the umpteenth quick fix
Accepting that challenge, I dove into the world of corrective exercise, movement therapy … Always looking for more, I started studying Anatomy in Motion (and Anatomy Trains in Training).
It’s amazing to see how resilient the body is, once the right button is pressed.
Movere Magis is my never-ending ‘move better’ journey in guiding you on your own journey.
Movere Magis, if you feel ready to try movement therapy.
Anatomy in motion (AiM) is the brainchild of Gary Ward and a refreshing new way of working with human movement. A key of aspect of AiM is the Flow Motion Model™.
The Flow Motion Model™ describes the movement of every single bone and joint in all three dimensions through a single foot step. This makes it a really interesting indicator of what our bones like to do / should do. Because interestingly if they don’t that often correlates with pain, discomfort.
The goal of AiM therefore is to
Find what’s missing.
(what’s missing = what’s moving too little, wherefore something else will be moving too much)
Break that habit by re-educating the bones.
(re-educating the bones = get every single bone speaking to every other bone simultaneously through the nervous system)
So that those actual movements can restore the relationship between the tissues and the structures.
(actual movement = movement away from neutral and back through it)
And if the right button is pressed that will create an environment where the body can heal itself.
AiM is often associated with working on the feet. However, it’s not only about the feet. They’re just not forgotten.
