What is the Franklin Method®?
The Franklin Method is a dynamic approach to movement that places the body and its function centered stage.
We combine Dynamic Neuro-cognitive Imagery (DNI)™ with targeted exercises to maintain and improve the health and wellbeing of the body and mind. This is a smarter, more intuitive way to train in step with the design of your body.
In simple terms, the Franklin Method helps you understand your anatomy better, offering metaphorical imagery and embodiment techniques to help you hone its movement and maintain healthy function. This approach to physical training is evidence-based and successfully applied by numerous universities, academies and organizations across the globe.
This unique combination of mind-body techniques can be applied to every kind of movement.
Understanding Dynamic Neuro-cognitive Imagery (DNI)™
DNI uses the power of the mind to enhance motor performance. Research has shown that attaching specific thoughts or visualizations to movements can boost the way the body performs them. Whether you apply these techniques to Pilates, yoga, dance, physical therapy or any other discipline, the Franklin Method is proven to work and improve performance.
“The Franklin Method Training is the most intelligent approach to learning about the workings of the body I have ever attended.”
– Tom McCook, Director of the Center of Balance
How do you use Franklin Method® to assist dance students, athletes and professionals?
We all require efficient, effective and bio-mechanically sound movement to live life, and excel at our passions. We need to learn to analyze and problem solve to break through barriers and limitations both physically and mentally to achieve our unique goals. Students find a thrill in this process as they awaken the brain, body and nervous systems into a facility to create change.
Students gain self-confidence in movement and brain patterning towards a physically and mentally healthy whole-body system.
Franklin Method® can benefit or enhance technical training in dance, athletics and sports.
Understanding, comprehension and integration of anatomy, physiology and metaphorical imagery is the foundation of any specialist. With this knowledge, students can foresee and make choices within their own techniques with biomechanically and artistically profound results.
