Myoreflextraining – muscular functions of feelings
Physical success leaves traces in the brain

„We are in our body. We are our body which originates actions, movements and feelings. In our bodies and with our bodies we express ourselves and get in touch with the outside world. Our muscles are carriers and expressive systems. With specific muscle and movement melodies we make ourselves small, we duck, we freeze or we align ourselves to conquer the world. Our experiences and our biography imprint, create and form our posture, gesture and mimicry. We are our physical memory, where we are preserved and where we carry things about with us. Through our bodies we listen to ourselves.“

We will consciously sense, read and recognise tensions, emotions and wrong postures in our muscular system. Painfully shortened muscles and tense muscular chains as well as opposing muscle systems may be felt via pressure points and special exercises. Thus they may be trained and lossened with widened perception. We may sense emotions and experiences which we do not know consciously but which create limitations in everyday life. Our dynamic self-expression will be given the physical spiritual space for an open step forwards.
Through specific movements and kinaesthetic experiences using our hands, we will effortlessly change our perspective by learning to mirror ourselves. Moments of self-discovery, alignment and new patterns of action that come from the deep within, lie in that act of recognition. The experience of body, spirit and movement being unified in us is one of the most important aspects of this work.
We act out our emotions and feelings through our bodies. We research them, „lifting the veil“ of limitations in our history and enjoy the opening, the qualities of permission and ability. Physical success leaves traces in the brain and designs our movement apparatus like an architect. In a circular way we thus create the experiential situation of our psyche. What we experienced and lived in this process may be playfully re-created in everyday life.“



Myoreflex/Sensorik/Motorik GoldenAge
Health and dance movement for senior citizens

Preventive Health Care doesn't require any extraordinary effort, just the recollection of normal, physiological, innate patterns to sustain these natural, physiological conditions. This is exactly what people do in China for instance, where balancing and stretching exercises in the tradition of QiGong and TaiChi are practised on a regular basis in public parks in large, freely accessible groups.
In the West sitting through long years of school and in professional life has become widespread. Therefor almost all joints are continually subjected to bending which becomes a basic pattern. As a consequence important groups of muscles are shortened and retain a permanent state of tension. Playful exercise (originally imbedded in culture) through dance, ritual and sport is increasingly missing.
Intelligent, directed, playful inner and outer movement in "dancesteps" can prevent ailment and stiffness. Integration of simple exercises into our everyday routine fosters health on different levels and helps to activate the muscle-system - regardless of age.
Even after clinical treatment of sickness and pain, power-in-movement exercises offer an excellent instrument for follow-up treatment and sustainable stabilisation of health.
Though senso-motoric development takes place early in life, it is never finished. We are not subject to a particular development at a given time, but rather develop ourselves throughout our whole life.




Myoreflextraining for Dancers
Creative and preventive potential of myoreflex therapy

„This workshop presents the preventive and creative potential of Myoreflex therapy to dancers and focuses on the following issues:
+ emotions embodied in specific muscle groups
+ the personality under the skin and individual personal muscle groups
+ the choreography of emotions
+ the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
+ increasing performance and optimising the possibilities of self-expression through intelligent use of the KID exercises (strength in stretching)
+ decreasing the risk of injuries
+ pain and muscle function

Myoreflex therapy works at the level of muscular sensors and thus indirectly reaches the „centre of control“, the brain. As if looking in a mirror, the practising person becomes aware of inefficient patterns and may regulate them him/herself. These „measuring sensors“ at the muscles correlate with the acupuncture points on the meridians. The KID exercises activate the chains of the meridians and lengthen the shortened muscle groups. Thus a neuromuscular self-regulation is stimulated.“




Kurt Mosetter
Kurt Mosetter developed the holistic technique of myoreflex therapy based on the pioneer work of the physician Walter Packi in the field of bio mechanics and movement geometry. He considers the „anatomy of the living“ the most important gearshift of his work. He studied acupuncture in Nepal and Darjeeling and worked at the neurosurgery department in Birhospital in Kathmandu. His studies of Asian experiential medicin, of psycho traumatology and of the effects of sound on the resonance of tissues is embedding his discoveries in a wide net of experiences.
Kurt Mosetter is a nurse, healer and physician and has his own practices in Konstanz and Gutach in Germany. Since 1998 he has been on the board of directors of the Swiss Ärztegesellschaft für Regulationsmedizin und Neuraltherapie. For several years he has been leading educations on myoreflex therapy. He published some books on the issue and developed the training program „Kraft in der Dehnung“ (strength in stretching).
