 – The Future of Movement The Franklin Method teaches you the know-how to make the most out of the body/mind continuum in a practical and hands on manner. We address the mind through the use of imagery in all its applications and we address the body by teaching you how it is designed to function. You may think "oh my god more things to put into my head" but consider the following. There are 3 things you always do as a human:
Now ask yourself: Why does it make sense to be good at something you do all the time? You get better at what you do. Poor posture lead to worse posture, incorrect use of the body tends to lead to dysfunction and injury. Do you know how you are actually designed to function? How bones/muscles/organs work together to function efficiently? How the mind is always part of the context? Do you know how you are using your body when you exercise, train or practice? Do you if you teach? Does your teacher? The Franklin Method teaches the practical elements of body design, emphasizing imagery for maximum efficiency. Body posture and movement are imagery driven, and if the image doesn't correspond to the way the body is designed, the result will be a steady decline in function. By contrast, the best way to improve function is to start with an image that corresponds to how the body is designed. The Franklin Method is the cutting edge among movement professionals, used and acclaimed by The Royal Ballet School London, the Juilliard School of Arts New York, the Music Conservatory of Vienna, world-class athletes and dancers. We are also a mainstay for practitioners of Pilates, Yoga, fitness and physical therapy. To activate the body/mind function we use Dynamic Imagery, Experiential Anatomy and Reconditioning Movement.
One of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century is the plasticity of the brain; that the lives we live shape the brain we develop. The Franklin Method is at the forefront of practical neuro-plasticity; showing you how to use your brain to improve your body's function. It teaches you how to harness the transforming power of the mind. It can be applied to improve all of your abilities. It all starts with the knowledge that we have the power to change. We are not reinventing the wheel, we are simply connecting the spokes — body/mind, posture, breath, health, imagery and motivation. We bring together the disciplines of western and eastern science, sports psychology and somatics into a clear and practical format that professionals and laypeople alike can use. You can use this know-how to reach your full potential. The Franklin Method makes you fit for life. ©2008 Institut für Franklin-Methode |
