rcises were developed, by studying the patterns of movement used by infants just learning how to use their bodies. Through repetition of these exercises the old motion patterns held in the central nervous system are replaced by new ones and these new efficient patterns of movement become automatic.
The choice of infant movement patterns is based on the idea that the human brain is designed to learn movement patterns in a specific way, namely the way infants do. Therefore re-exposing the brain to its natural way of learning movement patterns is easy and effective. Some refer to it as “returning to basics” or “re-booting” the brain’s motion pattern processor.
Once the correct motion patterns have been re-trained into the brain they are used effortlessly in daily life and in sports activities. Using the correct movement patterns stops chronic damage from occurring and allows chronic injuries to heal. Using the correct movement patterns can also prevent injuries from occurring in the first place. And using the correct movement patterns may improve sports performance.
