When the brain has been injured before, during, or immediately
after birth, the physical impairment that results is called
cerebral palsy. The location and extent of brain injury
is often only partially known, and the resulting complications
are unique to each individual. Brain and spinal injury
later in life can also cause physical impairment and sensory
integration issues. Body Learning approaches brain and
spine injury in terms of healing and repatterning. Injury
to the central nervous system during infancy interrupts the
normal developmental patterns, and injury later in life can
undermine those patterns. In order to heal from the injury,
we can move through the developmental movement patterns that
have been interrupted or skipped. The nervous system
is designed to support learning for the rest of the body, and
requires focused and gentle attention with alternating periods
of input and rest in order to heal itself. Body Learning
facilitates this unique process through touch, guided movement,
and parent (and client) education.
