About this book

The Oriented Gesture completes the trilogy of the Method of the Reeducation of Movement, by Brazilian choreographer and corporal educator Ivaldo Bertazzo, comprising the books Corpo vivo [The Living Body] (2010) and Cérebro ativo [The Active Brain] (2012). With photographs and illustrations, this volume discusses the role of the skin in the functions of sustaining the skeleton and organizing the muscles. For this purpose, it signals the importance of the skin for motor re-education as a messenger of the locomotor system, exploring esthetic issues and presenting strategies to know the body through its relation with the skin that covers it. Then it features exercises for the musculature in the form of ludic activities, rhythmic games, and group work, enabling the re-education both through sport and physiotherapy. Finally, it offers strategies for the articular organization of the bones, a fundamental condition for the good working of the muscles and of the body as a whole.
