#33. Rewiring movement patterns: how simple sensory input shapes neuroplasticity

It’s fascinating to discover the role some of our senses have in transforming the way we move. In the latest episode of the Make Movement Matter podcast, I talk with Amanda Kemp, a pilates teacher with a deep understanding of how 3 of our senses can materially affect our movement patterns and therefore our practical abilities. Amanda shares her journey of studying these sensory connections to help her clients move with more confidence and less pain. We dive into the concept of neuroplasticity in reshaping movement, real-life success stories and practical tools you can use to approach movement with more awareness and intentionality.Whether you're navigating physical limitations, looking to improve your balance, or just curious about ways to improve your own movement, this conversation is full of insightful takeaways. We discuss the importance of holistic movement practices, why relying on proprioception alone might not be enough, and how visual and vestibular cues can enhance your daily activities like walking. Listen to learn how understanding your senses can empower you to move better and live better!If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show by pressing Follow & giving a Rating.To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes visit:⁠The Make Movement Matter Podcast⁠Connect with your host, Wendy, founder of Reclaim Movement on⁠Instagram⁠ or find out more about more at ⁠https://reclaimmovement.co.uk⁠ or on ⁠YouTube⁠ Start to ⁠‘Move more naturally to live better’ with Wendy’s self-paced 5 Day Introductory Online Course by clicking here.⁠
