The stages by which a child learns to achieve upright posture and the full range of motor skills is a remarkable journey from the most primitive to the most advanced forms of balance and locomotion. As adults, studying these developmental movements makes it possible to effect improvements in the working of the muscular system, to gain insight into how to move efficiently, and to progress from more basic to more advanced forms of balance and support.
This October, Ted will be offering a series of free classes on the subject.
Here are some of the topics we will be looking at:
