Reclaiming Natural Movement: Practical and effective therapy for ataxic movements due to neurodegenerative disorders and other causes

"When standing I feel unstable, and I often stumble and fall. What can I do to correct this and walk better?" This is a common question people with problem movements ask. They then receive advice, yet little of it is useful to them. Through generations this continually happens, and it is because this next question remains largely unanswered. "Naturally, how do we so easily walk?" Without hesitation or thought, every day we expertly use our natural ability. But most everyone knows nothing about how they are physically doing it. Consider unnatural movements as "broken" natural movements. Now ask, how are broken things fixed? They are restored to their original working order. But how we use our body to make our natural movements happen is not readily understood. This explains the problem. Without knowing how we physically create our natural movements; it is not possible to understand and correct the mechanics of the unnatural movements people develop. This book provides useful answers to this dilemma. In simple straightforward terms with detailed illustrations, Reclaiming Natural Movement describes the practical workings of our movements. For both natural and unnatural, the functional relationship of our posture to our movements is explained.
