The Insight:
If an unfamiliar engine noise in your car is ignored for weeks on end, before long the head gasket has blown and you need a new engine! It is a similar story with the body.
Physical Intelligence raises awareness of the signals your body is sending you, and enables you to act on them to enhance your own wellbeing and quality of life. It enables you to manage your energy, and minimise the risk, over time, of serious health issues arising.
The Challenge:
A group of primary teachers dealing with various stress related conditions;, back pain, weight fluctuation and headaches and low self-image, aiming to improve their sense of wellbeing and self control.
The Approach:
To raise awareness through Physical Intelligence modules: Breathing and Living, Concept of ‘I’, Map of Tension (MOT) and Dealing with Challenge to improve body image, energy renewal and motivation.
In addition, interspearsing the day with a series of 1 minute exercises enabling them to manage their energy, refuel and refresh, To develop energy resources for
the ‘heavy lifting’ of their working life when necessary.
The Response:
“Being more aware of not clenching my teeth when stressed means I’ve got less headaches. This was all in the exercises about how to hold yourself and where you are tense, making sure that you don’t lock into this as it affects your feelings. I can honestly say that this is one of the parts of the programme that has stayed with me.”
