We are a group whose members want to learn how manual therapy interfaces with the nervous system, not to manipulate it, but to understand it better so we can interact with it more effectively.

A take on teaching movement, and which kinds of memory are accessed by attendees from a class. One might want to consider the implications for us, a profession that is heavily involved in movement restoration for people in pain. Maybe we need to understand our own conscious/non-conscious, declarative/procedural, proble...m-solving memory and where and how our own movement, movement practice, contributes. Manual therapy focuses on what we do TO people, in pain, but not enough, maybe, on ways we might help the brains of these people create new output which might solve their own pain. The link inside the blogpost goes to a news story called "Body Movements Can Influence Problem Solving, Researchers Report", suggesting that a lot of cognition is accessed through movement.

ScienceDaily (Nov. 20, 2009) At the moment a newborn switches from amniotic fluid to breathing air, another profound shift occurs: nerve cells in the brain convert from hyperexcitability to a calm frame against which outside signals can be detected.
