Mastering Meaningful Movement (MMM)
MMM is a community-based class, operating outside the medical model, based primarily on principles of Neurodevelopmental Treatment and Pilates. Participants frequently report meaningful functional gains they have made outside of class; for example, being able to plant flowers in the garden at ground level, closing the car door with the hemiplegic arm and walking without a cane. MMM has demonstrated that effective therapeutic intervention aimed at promotion of normal movement patterns and increased function can be delivered using a group format.
One of the participants in MMM is a freelance writer and submitted an article to disaboom.com, an online community for the disabled. To read it, click here: http://www.disaboom.com/Health/Articles/fitnessandnutrition/Stroke-Patient-Pilates-Class-Helps-Recovery.aspx
