One of the most delicate aspects of development is understanding, strengthening, and feeling confident in our body map. Although the body map itself is a complex concept, it can be described quite simply as a set of elements that allow us to understand our own physicality. It shapes our physical self-awareness and opens the door to understanding who we are, what we are, and where we are in space.
The body schema is another intricate but essential concept, and it can also be explained clearly. It refers to the neurological processes that enable us to use our body map effectively. Thanks to these processes, we can interact with the world around us and — most importantly — progress in learning and development.
The program created by Sheila Dobie OBE (Scotland) is an individualized movement-based program that encourages the brain to process sensory input more efficiently and quickly, because movement is the foundation of all learning. Through this approach, children not only learn correct movement patterns but also discover their body’s position in space and develop a deeper understanding of their own body schema.
✨ New at Veritas Physio!
Starting next week, Veritas Physio will be offering therapy sessions that incorporate elements of bilateral integration. This approach supports coordinated movement, enhances body awareness, and helps build essential foundations for learning and daily functioning.
