Neuro-motor experience and experimentation is the basis of every maturation process and somatic, emotional, affective, relational and social growth. From the infinitely large external world, even before birth, the child uses the body to relate with himself and with the world around him, making all possible sensory experiences his own through emotions, engraving them in the infinitely small of his own neuronal synapses and therefore transforming them into neuro-motor learning.
Growing through sensory experiences and therefore his perceptive functions, the new individual is able to experience the surrounding environment, define its boundaries, possibilities and limits of action of his body by dialoguing on a somato-psychic level with his own genome and allowing the epigenetic modulation of this as a phenotypic response to the motor and emotional solicitations in which it grows.
With play (relationship with objects and the environment and people) and movement, he reaches and perfects not only important skills such as balance, concentration, attention, physical skills, but also awareness or his own identity bodily (somato-aesthetic and somato-sensorial) and therefore emotional-relational, acquiring awareness of one's own entity with and entering into communication with others.
A fundamental prerequisite of psychomotor education is the global consideration in childhood and adolescence, in a holistic dimension, of its Mind-body unity and the understanding of the purpose of the psychomotor action even in the case in which there are differences and physiological defects.
The program focuses on the knowledge of aspects and elements of anatomy and pathophysiology and movement disorders since childhood, adolescence and young adults according to the Biological Aesthetic Structural Model (MSEB, Villanova M., 2006).
