Sweigard presents a groundbreaking approach to optimizing human movement and posture through the power of the nervous system. At the core of her work is ideokinesis, a method that utilizes precise mental imagery and thought?rather than direct muscular effort?to re-pattern neuromuscular coordination.Sweigard argues that our inherent nervous system has the capacity to discover the most efficient and healthy interactions between bones, muscles, and nerves. By focusing on "imagined movement" and specific "lines of movement" within the body, individuals can cultivate improved mechanical balance, reduce unnecessary strain and fatigue, and unlock their full movement potential.Drawing on extensive research and years of teaching experience, Sweigard's book masterfully bridges theory and practical application. It offers detailed explanations of the mechanical and anatomical components of movement, the role of the nervous system, patterns of skeletal alignment, and practical facilitators for enhancing posture and movement. An essential resource for performers, dancers, bodyworkers, and anyone seeking to improve physical performance and well-being, Human Movement Potential demonstrates how subtle shifts in thought can lead to profound and lasting improvements in how we move and feel.
