Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou Joanne Elphinston for another extraordinary webinar presentation on Wednesday night "Re-Connecting Missing Links" In my humble opinion every therapist needs to be exposed to the JEMS approach BEFORE they get tangled up in learning "exercises".
What Joanne’s work invites us to explore is how movement emerges when relationships are restored. Relationships between intention, timing, coordination, load & context.
The JEMS approach is less about forcing change & more about allowing movement to happen — movement that is efficient, adaptable & often effortless. Movement with grace, flow & meaning.

We are very excited to welcome back, one of our all-time most respected & most popular presenters, Joanne Elphinston, for our next webinar - "Moving the Brain, Changing the Game: Beyond Exercise into Meaningful Movement"
When we expand our communication skills based on an understanding of the relationships between brain function, autonomic state & motor learning, we can more effectively enable an individual to learn, adapt & perform movement with greater ease.

This interactive lecture is an exploration of this phenomenon, exploring the interface of embodiment, emotion & intention with biomechanics, neuromuscular patterning & the experience of being a moving human.
