Highland Neuromuscular Movement Services (HNMS) are focused around reducing the risk of musculo-skeletal injury and increasing health and well-being through the promotion of efficient movement. HNMS services are grounded in the principles of the Neuromuscular Approach to Human Movement (NMAHM)®.
Why Use HNMS?
Many movement strategies have no recognised origins and/or offer technique-based solutions.
Human movement is a complex integration of physiological, anatomical, developmental, cultural and bio-mechanical factors. A movement strategy without defined origin needs to be carefully considered as to whether it can offer an outcome that is holistic in nature and takes into account all factors involved in human movement and musculo-skeletal injury.
Highland Neuromuscular Movement Services uses a named, principle-based methodology of Human Movement - the Neuromuscular Approach to Human Movement® The Approach is person-centred, has origins, and encompasses a holistic study of human movement and its consequences.
Many movement strategies are currently only based on kinetics/bio-mechanics, and offer technique-based training. Kinetics is only one aspect of human movement, and cannot alone promote a safer system of work and/or reduction in musculo-skeletal injury. Also, from the research of Dr. Sue Hignett, M.Erg.S M.C.S.P. Eur.Erg, technique-based training has been proven not to reduce the incidence of musculo-skeletal injury.
