Speakers: Rennie Maeda PT, MPT
Course Description:  Optimal Movement (OM), developed by Rennie Maeda, PT, is a synthesis of the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais with other past and present-day motor, cognitive, ergonomic, educational, and psychological scientists.  OM is a simple way to dissect and improve all actions and movements encountered in the clinic.  The main concepts presented are:

• What is Optimal Movement

• What is Conservation of the Self

• How to improve suboptimal movement patterns effectively and efficiently, with a 5-15 minute OM lesson in the clinic and a home program 1-5 minutes, once or twice a day.

This class is for novice to expert physical therapists who would like to improve their movement/neuromuscular observation and reeducation skills.
