RGM – Rhythm–Thinking–Movement

Detailed professional description

We welcome adults who would like to improve or maintain their quality of life by developing the following areas:

• attention, concentration and memory;
• balance, coordination and spatial orientation;
• organisation and integration of movement;
• divided attention and carrying out parallel tasks;
• planning, organisation and sequential task performance;
• flexibility of routines and situational awareness;
• speed of task performance.

Therapeutic sessions use the Ronnie Gardiner Method (RGM) with both rehabilitation and
prevention goals. Participants learn specific
choreographies performed to music, designed to develop motor and cognitive abilities, memory
and concentration. Music and rhythm also support
motivation and sustained co-operation throughout the therapeutic work.

The RGM choreographies are an enjoyable and engaging challenge to practise. The exercises train
areas and connections within the nervous system that are also important in complex
everyday tasks. Perceiving and processing stimuli,
planning and organising movement, carrying out actions and synchronising them all support more balanced
nervous-system functioning and can contribute to more flexible and successful
problem-solving in daily life.

The movements are not physically strenuous. The exercises activate the nervous system as a whole
and can have an energising effect. Safe performance of the exercises is discussed with each participant
according to individual needs.

Session length: 80 minutes.

Participants can attend in comfortable everyday clothing.
