Kinaesthetics
The term Kinaesthetics can be translated as “Art / Science of Movement Awareness”. Kinaesthetics deals mainly with the following content:
• The development of the differentiated and conscious perception of one’s own movement.
• The development of a healthy and flexible use of one’s own movement in private and professional activities (movement competence)
• The differentiated analysis of human activities using the experience-based viewpoints of Kinaesthetics.
The ability to use one’s own movement in contact with other people in such a way that they are specifically supported in their own movement competence or in their self-efficacy.
Kinaesthetics approaches this content in two ways:
On the one hand, it provides tools and methods to classify and understand individual experiences. In this way, it promotes awareness of the qualities and differences of movement in everyday activities.
On the other hand, Kinaesthetics enables the cognitive examination of theoretical foundations and scientific research.
The combination of these two approaches leads to increased awareness of the qualities and differences of one’s own movement in all day-to-day activities.
The Effect
Movement is a basis of life. Increasing the awareness of movement and the development of movement competence can make a lasting contribution to the promotion of health, development and learning in people of all ages.
Kinaesthetics can help you discover new ways to move and treat work-related back pain, tension or other physical ailments, stay mobile and self-reliant in old age, or deal with your own creativity and flexibility (for example, in dealing with stress).
The effect of Kinaesthetics when caring for newborns, the elderly, people with disabilities, patients, is always twofold: the caregivers and receivers benefit from a greater degree of movement competence. Designing nursing interventions as interactions based on kinaesthetics not only leads to astonishing advances in those in need of care, but also promotes the health of caregivers.
With Kinaesthetics it is possible for a company to specifically promote the practical competence and self-responsibility of the employees, but also to use it as a central factor in organizational and quality development.
Kinaesthetics wants to promote learning and development processes that highlights the independence of its clients and thus make a contribution to the quality of life of all those involved.
