The quality of our movement depends on the complexity of the brain. No matter how strong or fit a muscle is, it does not move itself.

Welcome! My name is Danny Crowell
I am a NeuroMovement Practitioner and I am here to help you be pain free, more flexible and, in general, to discover the transformative power of neuroplasticity and how you can literally create new neural pathways for improved cognitive, emotional and physical performance at any age. (And I can show you how to do it for yourself !)
Did you know that...
Did you know that when you stretch a muscle it actually ends up being shortened? It is a physiological fact. (Look up stretch reflex.) But did you know that you CAN regain the NATURAL length of the muscle at any age without fear of injury if done correctly? Did you know that we do not learn FROM our experiences? We learn WHAT we experience, for good or bad--we are experiential creatures. Therefore it is of the utmost importance how we go about the process of change, and/or any physical improvements that we desire. Did you know that the process of looking better, feeling better and performing better is not a matter of fixing anything? After all, we are not appliances. It is a matter of how we look at things, a matter of changing our approach and ways of thinking. And it is Easy Peasy if you know how. For example: did you know that the eyes organize your movement, and that the more independence you have between the eyes and the head, neck, shoulders and pelvis, the more flexibility you will have from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet? (And I can show you how!) Did you know that it is not injury, or age per se, that is responsible for loss of flexibility and cognitive decline. Rather, it is the habitual patterns of repetitive movement over time that create perpetual contractions in muscles and muscle groups, and that the regaining of flexibility is merely a bi-product of NeuroMovement. And there is so much more!
My mother, Phyllis, walking and moving better at 95 than at 75. (This, according to her own proclamation.)
My Resume
Twenty five years ago I entered the Health and Wellness Field beginning with Deep Tissue Massage and Structurally Oriented Yoga. From there I studied and practiced Body Talk, Eric Dalton´s Myoskeletal Therapy and Alignment Technique, and worked with Low Level Lasers treating wounds. Then I studied Pysical Therapy for 6 weeks. From there, I was a Thomas Hanna Somatics Practitioner. (Finally on the right track!) Then, while in my first year at the Feldenkrais Institute, I discovered the AnatBanielMethod of NeuroMovement www.anatbanielmethod.com. (Anat was friends with and worked with Moshe Feldenkrais, and her work is validated by Dr. Michael Merzenich--considered the Father of Brain Plasticity Science. So I figured I was in good hands.) That was 17 years ago. Since then I have worked with numerous Special Needs Children, the youngest being 2.5 years. I have also worked with professonal dancers, a professional pianist and some amateur athletes. I had also set up a program at the retirement village, where my mother resided, to work with the elderly--65 to 101 !--to restore balance and flexibility and to help with cognitive function.
You may email me (prefered) at...danny@theprocess.live or text at 512-517-6595 with ¨NeuroMovement Inquiry¨ and we can set up a meet to discuss things. (Please do not phone me for the time being, until I can put you in my contacts.)
