MOVAIDO HELPS ATHLETES BY…
Improving the quality of movement instead of merely quantity of fitness
Developing greater movement ease, preventing injury, and learning more precision
Better recovery, better anticipation
To create better learners by focusing on the building blocks of motor development and smoother and more fluid movements that lead to movement efficiency.
Throughout his time as a Master Feldenkrais Practioner, Dwight has worked with athletes on all levels - from professional athletes all over the world to golfers, skiers, mountain bikers, runners and other recreational athletes. He works closely with his athletes to provide hands-on support and provide them with the tools they need for self-care and recovery. MOVAIDO has proven to be supportive for those recovering from an injury or those wanting to learn how to prevent re-injury as well as taking their performance and skill to the next level.
“In modern and Western society we tend to reach higher levels of performance by using more effort. In the Feldenkrais Method we learn a different approach which is based on completely the opposite idea: by reducing effort and with a clearer goal-oriented motivation, we work on the quality of action.”
-Kurt Kothbauer, Strength Coach, Canadian National Ski Team

These Neuromuscular/Biomechanical learning exercises improve “ Movement Intelligence” - the efficiency of coordination, agility /dexterity, flexibility, and mobility, as well as body and spatial awareness.
This leads to an improvement in an athlete’s:
Ability to express power while decreasing how much effort is required to do so.
Recoverability -much more rapidly from sudden changes in movement, accidents, collisions, destabilizations, and forced translations.
