Another wonderful video by Fusion! Thank you!
This was very helpful.
Thank you. I especially appreciated your mentioning the importance of ” visual cues”. This is a subtle and often overlooked factor when using equipment.
Hi guys!
I am so happy that you found this information useful! I have to say that lately I have being experiencing an influx of clients with varied neurological disorders, from brain injuries to dementia. This work constantly pushes my limits of how I look at the body, and the work on a daily basis. These clients are now my movement muses! I am reminded everyday how truly amazing the human body is, and that when one “area” of the body is in slumber mode, other strengths will surface! Play to these strengths so you can help your clients find movement awakening. This builds confidence that was once thought to be lost. That is where we can really positively effect our clients lives… not in regaining full movement control, (although we help that too!) but in helping them to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin so they can live life in a full capacity!
