What is BodyCode® System?
The BodyCodeSystem ® is a method of evaluating and correcting movement patterns, devised by Pino Carbone during the 90s after long and painstaking study, observing and working with the body's movements and its effects, tested over the course of his 20 years' experience training athletes and dancers and in the field of motor rehabilitation and re-education.
The BodyCodeSystem ® is based on knowledge of the osteoarticular system, on the laws of biomechanics, on a new conception of movement itself and on the use of special equipment.
It is not widely known that all the movements coordinated and controlled by the nervous system are realised in the skeletal structures.
The muscles and tendons set the bones in motion with the cartilages and ligaments controlling articulation.
The rest of the body owes its solid form to nothing more than the tension set up in the fasciae, or connective tissues, allowing the body to assume its various shapes as it carries out different movements.
Every change of position in the skeletal structures in one extremity of the body has an effect on the other extremity, as such actions are governed by the laws of biomechanics, which mirror the laws of physics.
Movement is the most important factor affecting the structures, if we define the structures as the whole myofascial-skeletal system.
If joints cannot articulate correctly there are repercussions in the connective tissue, with on-going effects, since the erect posture of human beings requires constant and extremely delicate adjustment of movements to maintain balance.
The muscles and fasciae suffer permanent stress, the functioning of other joints is affected, and thus we risk entering the sphere of pathology.
The BodyCodeSystem ®, with its careful study of myofascial-skeletal imbalances and resulting compensatory effects, is able to act in a way that takes in the totality of the structure, restoring its balance.
The BodyCodeSystem ® has its theoretical roots in oriental traditions which, like acupuncture, yoga, Qigong and Feng Shui, are not limited to the physical body but have wide-ranging beneficial effects on the psychological well-being of the individual.
Many people believe they have a perfect understanding of the way the skeletal structure is arranged, but remain unaware that, over and above its mere anatomical and physiological properties, there is a functionality that connects it to the totality of our organism.
The BodyCodeSystem ® tells us that the path to good health cannot be found by looking at anatomy and physiology alone, but that motor action is a determining factor. This is why all BodyCodeSystem ® instructors are movement experts, who understand its full potential and are capable of decoding the complex movement patterns of each individual. This enables them to modify these movement patterns by means of specific exercise programmes that, as they correct and improve movement, result in improved functioning of the whole body. |
