Body Mapping
"The body map is the neuronal representation we hold of ourselves that dictates how we move- it is literally a picture of our body in our brains but it is not fixed: the maps are changeable or “plastic.” When the body map accurately represents the true design of the body, the movement dictated by the map will look and feel free, easy and balanced."
