This chapter gives a general description of a collective group of exercises and details which are sharing the here described facts. 

Application generally after Sensitation and Orientation against the immediate surrounding of the target field; raising of muscle tonicity and stretching oft sift tissues.

Contents:

This group of exercises is mainly aimed at the muscular component for the incompetent muscle tone and endurance (Holding power).

Materials:

Exercise specific.

Procedure:

- Previous exercises: (See above) Sensitation and Orientation (see also “Discussion”).

-Starting position: A specific stand-by position

starting from this with REPEAT EXERCISES

 and under some effort the desired end position is gained by and by and step by step.

The acquisition of this spatial border and target position can also be reached by the more static way using a Stretching-exercise (for Example: ELEVATOR, SQUEEZE-A-FLAKE).

When the target position is reached it is essential for the following phase to maintain it with long-lasting effect.  For this purpose a static Hold-exercise is prescribed. In the subsequent phase the control of flux and frequency of the movement is the duty of the

MOTILITY-EXERCISE; raising of tonicity (Rest-, Standby-, Hold- Tone) are the task of the subsequent exercises for tone increase before Habituation is following.

Timing: See below.

Characteristics:

Mobility, Stretching, Gross Motor Skills.

Remarks:

Hetero or self manipulation will often support the effect. A possible over-stretching should be avoided.

Discussion:

In a short comment the difference to the Motility Exercises should be emphasized.

In the here discussed exercise category the texture being targeted in taking up its motion frame spatially and sensing its state, with the Motility rather the control component resp. the neuro-motor synchronization is addressed (motion flux, Agonist >< Antagonist). The later on practiced Coordination exceeds this ‘simple’ muscle interplay.

There complete muscle actions are hooked up to form motion patterns or reflex chains.

An incompetent system part rarely gets evident towards the organism – the organism has adapted; mostly as a consequence of negative bathmotropy (raising of the threshold) the incompetence is no longer revealed. This is the reason why the training target for the first (preceding) therapy phase lies in correcting the stimulus threshold (Sensitation).

The listing of exercises fostering the Mobility is here left aside as too great a number of exercises is acting on this characteristic.
