The Franklin Method was founded by Eric Franklin in 1994 and is taught all over the world, including the Universities of Vienna, Cologne, Karlsruhe, and the Julliard School in New York. The Franklin Method® is recognized by the health providers in #Switzerland and is regularly seen at #Dance, #Pilates, #Yoga and #Physiotherapy conferences. One of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century is the plasticity of the #brain; that the lives we live shape the brain we develop. The Franklin Method® is at the forefront of practical #neuro-plasticity; showing you how to use your brain to improve your body’s function. It teaches you how to harness the #transforming power of the #mind. It can be applied to improve all of your #abilities. It all starts with the #knowledge that we have the #power to change. The #FranklinMethod teaches #dynamic #alignment and how to move your body with maximum #efficiency to keep your body #youthful and #energized. Your whole body is part of a symphony of coordinated #movement. In a sense, your posture is reinvented at every instant. In every moment, the ideal combination of #limbs, #joints, gravity, moving parts, connective #tissue, and #muscle must be found and directed by your brain and #nervous system. https://franklinmethod.com/research/ ✔️ Increases jumping height in dancers (Heiland et al.,Research in Dance Education, 2012). ✔️ Improves plié arabesque performance in dancers (Heiland et al., Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity, 2012). ✔️ Improves mental imagery ability in people with Parkinsonʼs disease (Abraham et al., Neural Plasticity, 2018) ✔️ Improves disease severity and motor and cognitive functions in people with Parkinsonʼs disease (Abraham et al., Neural Plasticity, 2018). ✔️ Improves pelvic schema and graphic-metric representation in people with Parkinsonʼs disease (Abraham et al., Complementary Therapies in Medicine, 2018). ✔️ Improves mental imagery ability and characteristics in dancers (Abraham et al., Frontiers in Psychology, 10.382, 2019. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00382) ✔️ Improves developpé performance, hip range-of-motion, and pelvic postural alignment in dancers (Abraham et al., Frontiers in Psychology, 10.382, 2019. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00382) ✔️ Motor-cognitive interaction: The role and measurement of engagement (Madeleine E Hackney, Lise Worthen-Chaudhari, Amit Abraham et al., Nova Science Publishers, 2020) ✔️ Integrating mental imagery and fascial tissue: A conceptualization for research into movement and cognition (Amit Abraham, Eric Franklin, Carla Stecco, Robert Schleip, Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 2020)
