Highland Neuromuscular Movement Services (HNMS) offers a range of services aimed at reducing risk of musculo-skeletal injury and increasing health and well-being. HNMS services are grounded in the principles of the Neuromuscular Approach to Human Movement ®.

Many movement strategies have no recognised origins and/or offer technique-based solutions

Technique-based training has been proven not to reduce the incidence of musculo-skeletal injury S.Hignet

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.

Manual Handling (Moving and Handling) Courses

Two-day introductory courses and one day refresher courses. All courses comply with HSE recommendations. They offer the participant an awareness of efficient movement as described in the Neuromuscular Approach to Human Movement ®. Courses cover such areas as: How injury occurs, How to prevent/minimise injury, Risk Assessment, Condemned Practices, Laws & Regulations, Problem Solving, Demonstrations and Practical Work.

Courses are person-centred, offering a movement methodology that promotes individual therapeutic benefits through a change to existing movement pattern.

Specific/specialised training can also be organised, such as complex manual handing situations, equipment training, etc

Health Promotion

Health promotion talks and sessions are available to individuals or groups of people who wish to increase their awareness of movement and its consequences on Health & Well-being. Whether you are a school, college, company or individual, talks can be arranged to meet your needs .
