Résumé :
Nerves. Muscles. Bones. These are the three basic components necessary for human movement. Driving this function is the nervous system: the initiator and controller. In Human Movement Potential: Its Ideokinetic Facilitation, Dr. Lulu Sweigard explores the capacity of our nervous system to uncover the most efficient and healthy neuromuscular interactions for movement. Based on her research and insight, we can improve the relationship between our skeletal, muscular, and neural function, achieving our optimal movement potential.[editor summary]
