Continuum movement is a motion education developed by Emily Conrad in her desire to provide a good therapeutic method that can help people who are struggling from spinal cord problems and other types of injuries. The principle of the technique is based on fluid movement. The therapy is equally focused in the healing and recovery of the client’s overall health that can be viewed as physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

The method involved in this type of therapy is mostly postures that allows the body to move at levels we can’t do while sitting or standing on the ground. People with body movement restrictions and injuries that need physical therapy are the group of individuals who can benefit the most out of the therapy. It helps re-introduce motion to the clients who lacks the ability of proper body movement including flexibility as well as the strength to move.

Continuum movement therapy consists of essential elements such as:

– Breathing – breath is one of the most important factors in all movement. Even a single slight movement of the body requires consistent breath from the person in order to do such a simple task. Variation in breathing pattern may result to various emotional, physical, and mental responses. Heavy breathing is an example of a result from an exhausted physical body which reacts in coordination with the pattern of the person’s breath. Proper breathing technique is also useful in enhancing the focus of the client during the therapy session.

– Sound – basically, sound is considered a form of audible breathing. It is equally important as the other elements in providing a healthy constitution. The therapy uses specific sound frequencies that are capable of enhancing the functions of various systems on the human body. This type of element in the therapy also helps in relaxing and easing the body to provide more fluid motion.

– Movement – the non-patterned movements are important in enhancing the fluid motion which is needed by the body to properly improve the function of each part.

– Sensation and Pleasure – this allows the body to enter the state of self-renewal. It is used to awaken the senses of the mind and body in order to trigger the self nurturing ability of the entire human body.

Any person who has experienced this type of body and mind treatment is fascinated with the amazing results it leaves after each therapy session. The result from regular sessions can bring significant improvements on the range of motion, better flexibility, healthier muscle tissues, joints and ligaments, relief from muscle pain, heightened sensuality due to the exercises done during the therapy session, relaxed mind and spirit, and a lot more including increase level of immunity against sickness, disease and injuries.

For those who are interested in this physical type of therapy, it is strongly believed like in all types of bodywork that the consultation with a doctor is important as it can be risky and dangerous when done without the consent or approval of a medical expert.
