Maps and frameworks

Movement Medicine uses a set of teaching maps and conceptual frameworks to support clarity and depth in practice. These may include:

• The Wave (inherited and adapted from 5Rhythms),
• The Medicine Wheel and elemental perspectives,
• maps of consciousness, choice, and responsibility,
• archetypal and mythic lenses for understanding experience.

These maps function as orienting tools rather than prescriptions, supporting improvisation and personal meaning-making.
