Sean’s extensive study of martial arts, gymnastics, athletics and concert dance ignited this understanding for the possibilities of physical and emotional change.  The body works as a creature of habit, so consistency in using the technique is a key element to success. The system is a hands-on approach to movement support, understanding and process application.  RMF helps dancers fully experience a proper motor action or position they are not yet strong enough to achieve on their own.  Originally used for concert dancers, RMF turns gravity into a useful partner in achieving fulfilled movement at any age.  The technique quickly grew in its scope to include athletes, and every day health enthusiasts.  It can also help advanced individuals reach physical heights they otherwise might have thought unimaginable due to age or physical condition.  Reinforced Motor Function ® helps a person experience the correct position and execution of healthy movement in all physical activities.  RMF is developed from principles of muscle manipulation and extremity control, not unlike those found in the Martial Arts and self-defense.  RMF lets people understand immediately how their body should feel when executing movement correctly.  With Reinforced Motor Function ® participants show impressive results immediately.
