BodyCode®, with its careful study of myofascial-skeletal imbalances and resulting compensatory effects, is able to act in a way that takes in the totally of the structure, restoring its balance. BodyCode® has its theoretical roots in oriental traditions which, like acupuncture, yoga, Qi gong and Feng Shui, are not limited to the physical body but have wideranging beneficial effects on the psychological wellbeing of the individual. Many people believe they have a perfect understanding of the way the skeletal structure is arranged, but remain unaware that, over and above its mere anatomical and physiological properties, there is a functionality that connects it to the totality of our organism. BodyCode® tell us that the path to good health cannot be found by looking at anatomy and physiology alone, but that motor action is a determining factor. This is why all BodyCode System® instructors should be movement experts, who understand its full potential and are capable of decoding the complex movement patterns of each individual. This enables them to modify these movement patterns by means of specific exercise programmes that, as they correct and improve movement, result in improved functioning oh the whole body.
