Aston Pattering is a comprehensive approach regarding the wellbeing of an individual as a whole, which treats each person individually. In other words, it is a therapeutic method, which focuses on fitness, massage and some advanced modifications in the work or home environment. This is generally based on the needs of an individual.
It deals with different ways to improve the body movement and temperature.This is a physical method, which was developed by a dancer and a trainer Mr. Judith Aston. It is based on the conventional principle that while the human body tries to adjust itself to different kinds of daily activities, recreational and other ways of movements, it develops asymmetrically. The Aston Patterning focus on making people aware of such asymmetric moments, which have occurred in their body and also offers them suitable options to manage those asymmetric movements.
Its process and mechanism
This patterning session includes the therapist and his client on an individual basis. The therapist collects a detailed case history of his client in order to assess the needs of an individual. This case study includes the client's work, daily routine, general health and other activities. It is also vital for therapist to observe the gesture, posture and the movement patterns of his client, such as the way they stand, sit, walk, bend and sleep. Therapist makes a note including all necessary information and observations about their clients or patients and also share it with their clients. Then the pattern or schedule of the therapy is designed as per the requirements of the client and the clients are then taught the necessary changes in their movement patterns.
Therapists also give their patients a gentle massage and stretching in order to release the tension in their tissues.During the procedure, the clients are also suggested various options and modifications in their home and work environment. This includes adjusting the height of the working table and kitchen platform according to their requirement. With several sessions of Aston therapy, people learn to have better stability as well as improve their mobility. The number of sessions, procedure varies from person to person and their condition as well as their problem.
