What is Continuum Movement?

Continuum is a practice using breath, sound, awareness, and movement.

Continuum's founder, Emilie Conrad is a pioneer in the field of Somaitcs. Her groundbreaking research at UCLA demonstrated the vital power of fluid movement in restoring neural function.

Emilie has shown that movement can return even with the paralysis of spinal cord injuries.

Continuum has been used for over 40 years to enhance health and function with many types of health issues.

Our bodies are made up mostly of water. Continuum explores why this is so and leads us to an important key to health and well being.

How Can Continuum Help Me?

Modern life is fast and stressful. As you rush through your life, your body tissues contract and become less fluid. Physical and emotional trauma can also have this effect.

Compression creates body density and isolates tissue. Your body is more rigid and less able to move. With compression, you are less able to respond in new ways to what life presents.

Continuum helps you to:

• Interrupt the aging process
• Increase fluid movement and flexibility
• Enhance your scope of health and vitality
• Experience pleasure and enjoyment in your body
• Develop renewed creativity and spontaneity

Practicing Continuum is like giving yourself a bodywork session, without any effort!
