ASTON KINETICS MOVEMENT
Aston Kinetics Movement Coaching is a specialized approach to movement and bodywork developed by Judith Aston, a pioneer in the field of movement education and body mechanics. The Aston Kinetics method focuses on helping individuals achieve optimal body alignment, movement efficiency, and overall well-being by understanding and working with their unique body structures and movement patterns
Key Aspects of Aston Kinetics Movement Coaching:
Individualized Approach:
Aston Kinetics recognizes that every person's body is different, and therefore, it emphasizes personalized assessment and coaching to suit each individual's unique structure and movement habits.
Whole-Body Alignment and Movement:
The method teaches how to align and move the body in a way that reduces strain and promotes ease. This involves learning to use muscles, joints, and connective tissue more efficiently to support natural, pain-free movement.
Integration of Movement, Fitness, and Bodywork:
Aston Kinetics combines elements of movement training, fitness coaching, and hands-on bodywork to create a holistic approach. It includes exercises, body awareness practices, and manual techniques to help release tension, increase flexibility, and enhance overall body function.
​
Focus on Everyday Activities:
Rather than teaching movement in isolation, Aston Kinetics emphasizes applying the principles of alignment and efficient movement to everyday activities—such as sitting, standing, walking, and lifting—to help people move better in their daily lives.
Mind-Body Connection:
The approach also incorporates an awareness of the mind-body connection, helping individuals to become more mindful of their movements, posture, and overall body use.
​​
Preventative and Therapeutic Benefits:
By improving body mechanics and movement patterns, Aston Kinetics can help prevent injuries, reduce chronic pain, and enhance physical performance, making it beneficial for people of all ages and activity levels. Aston Kinetics Movement Coaching is widely used in fields such as physical therapy, sports performance, fitness training, and wellness coaching to help people move more comfortably and efficiently.
