Move WEll

“Moving well” is essential to be free from pain, minimize fatigue, and minimize loss of function. A key focus of NMF is to enable people to move as often as possible but this alone is not sufficient.

What does Move well Mean?

Moving Effectively  - Being able to complete the task you are attempting to achieve.
Moving Efficiently - Complete the task in as little time as possible with minimal energy.
Moving with balance & stability - Being able to control one body part and move another independently is key to preventing compensatory movements.
Move with minimal compensation - If you move with optimal strength, flexibility, posture and endurance you will minimize the need to compensate for your deficiencies.
Moving with coordinated alignment - Alignment of individual joints is key for optimal muscle function.
Have multiple ways to MOVE - The more movement options you have the more you can adapt to your environment and more likely you will be effective at achieving a functional task.
Move your joints with the flexibility you require for life - Have the joint range of motion that is required for the functional tasks you do on a daily basis.

Why Is moving often not the ONLY answer?

Moving often doesn’t challenge the WAY you move, It just REINFORCES IT.

After a neurological injury you may be limited in your movement options and are likely to use compensatory movements just to be able to function.

Why is compensation a problem?

We all use compensatory movements and postures to achieve a given task and most of the time this is ok. In fact just being right handed means you are more likely to lean to that side.
The problem comes when this compensation continues over many years without being challenged.

  • Increase the impairment as we age
  • Increase the risk for pain
  • Decrease functional abilities
