COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The SykorovaSynchro Method focuses on achieving physical symmetry between muscular and skeleton structures, and mind and body symmetry by using targeted movements to trigger valuable information flow between muscles and brain. The goal is to improve function, while reducing muscular effort to perform basic daily activities and live a healthy lifestyle. An exercise program based on the SykorovaSynchro Method incorporates slow passive stretches and easy movements that activate the brainÕs movement center in order to generate a flow of valuable information between the brain and the entire muscle system. This is accomplished by applying the neurological rule: ÒLess muscular effort leads to more enhanced sensory awareness for learning and for physical performance.Ó

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1. Examine sensory-motor learning.

2. Apply SykorovaSynchro Method in the water.

3. Increase body-mind connection.

4. Discover how to make your clients more biomechanically aware and to achieve a higher level of fitness.

5. Practice application of the SykorovaSynchro Method in clinical study/research.

6. Determine how the SykorovaSynchro Method is based in research.
