|   | What is Spacial Dynamics®? |   |
Spacial Dynamics®, developed over 25 years ago by master athlete Jaimen McMillan, gives the patient the experience of the healthy, harmonious continuum between the body and surrounding space. Spacial Dynamics® therapists learn how to use hands-on techniques and graceful, slow motion movements so that the patient becomes skilled at recreating dynamics that reconnect, regenerate, and reintegrate, thus replacing dis-ease with ease.
Spacial Dynamics®, développe au cours des 25 dernières années par Jaimen McMillan, sportif de haut niveau, offre aux patients l'opportunité d'une expérience d'équilibre et d'harmonie entre le corps et son espace environnant. Les thérapeutes de Spacial Dynamics® sont formes à des techniques de massage et des mouvements lents et harmonieux. Ces techniques et mouvements permettent aux patients de regagner la capacité à recréer une dynamique de rétablissement, régénération, et réintégration, ainsi remplaçant le malaise par le bien-être.
Spacial Dynamics®, entwickelt bei Jaimen McMillan, gibt dem Patienten das Erlebniss eines gesunden, harmonischen Einklanges von Koerper und umgebenden Raum. Spacial Dynamics® Therapeuten (Raum-Dynamik Therapeuten) lernen Be-handlungen und langsame, grazioese Bewegungen so anzuwenden, dass der Patient befaehigt wird selber Dynamiken zu schaffen, die verbinden was getrennt war. Was in Teilen war, wird wieder durch wohltuende, fliessende Bewegungen zusammengefuehrt, integriert und regeneriert.
Spacial Dynamics®, desarollado desde hace mas de 25 años atras por el atleta superior Jaimen McMillan, le da al paciente la experiencia de la continuidad saludable y armoniosa entre el cuerpo y el espacio en rededor. Los terapistas de Spacial Dynamics® adquieren habilidad por medio de las práctica y aprenden usar estas técnicas y movimientos despacios y graciosos para que el paciente aprenda a ser hábil en recrear dinámicas que reconectan, regeneran y reintegran, de esta mañera reemplazan el malestar con el alivio.
Spacial Dynamics®, nata e sviluppata 25 anni fa dall'atleta professionista Jaimen McMillan, permette al paziente di vivere un'esperienza di salute, come armoniosa continuazione tra il corpo e lo spazio circostante. I terapisti di Spacial Dynamics® imparano a servirsi di pratiche e movimenti lenti ed eleganti, in modo da dare al paziente la capacità di ricreare movimenti dinamici che riconnettono, rigenerano e reintegrano, così da ritrovare il cammino della salute con facilità.
A Spacial Dynamics®, a térdinamika, - melyet 25 évvel ezelőtt kezdett kifejleszteni Jaimen McMillan, aki professzionális szinten foglalkozott több mozgásformával - a páciensek számára az emberi test és a körülötte lévő tér közötti egészséges, harmonikus kapcsolatnak a tapasztalatát adja. A Spacial Dynamics®, a térdinamika terapeuták megtanulják a kéz-áramlás technikákat, és a lassú, méltóságteljes mozgásokat oly módon használni, hogy a páciens képessé váljon a saját dinamikájának az újra teremtésére, ami által helyreállítja, megújítja önmagát, ismét összekapcsolódik az egésszel, azaz a betegség helyére visszaáll az 'egész-ség'.
A Spacial Dynamics®, スペイシャルダイナミックスは、アスリートの達人、ジェイマン・マクミランによって、二十五年前、長年に渡る改良の集大成として開発された。患者は、スペイシャルダイナミックスを通じて、自分の体とその体を取り巻く周囲のスペースとの関係が、徐々に健康で、調和のとれた状態になっていくのを体験することができる。 患者が不健全な状態から回復するためは、体と体を取り巻く周囲のスペースに本来あるべき健全でダイナミックな力学的関係が、再現、再生、そして再統合される必要がある。 スペイシャルダイナミックスセラピストは、実際のテクニックと、優雅で、ゆったりした動きを習得することによって、患者がそれを自分で再現できるように導くのだ。
Spacial Dynamics® is the study and enhancement of the relationship between the human being and space through various movement techniques and activities.
Students of Spacial Dynamics® learn to experience the space around them as an alive and vibrant medium which is just as important to their movement as the physical body itself.
By becoming conscious of this space and the dynamic forces of the movements within it, the physical body learns to follow these movements, to ease into them.
When the body moves into a dynamic space that has already been created for it, the movement itself can be performed with less effort, greater effect, enhanced mental clarity, and less strain upon the body.

One of the basic principles of Spacial Dynamics is that what one sees as a movement in space is not what one must do to create it. A simple example is a basic jump up into the air. What one sees is a person going up into the air, but in order for that person to go up, they must push down. It is the pushing down that creates the movement upward; it is the moving down that is the hidden dynamic behind the visible movement. Spacial Dynamics works to uncover, understand, and utilize the hidden dynamics behind the movements we make in order to bring harmony and efficiency to these movements.

Spacial Dynamics® has developed over decades of intense study, practice, and research into the phenomena of movement and space.
Jaimen McMillan, the founder of Spacial Dynamics®, began this development in the early 1970's when he was working as a world class fencer. His first experience of the living dynamic of space changed the course of his life. Once, when practicing lunging in slow motion, he felt the space in front of his hand initiating the movement, drawing his arm, his chest, his hips, his legs, and his whole body, sequentially into a perfectly effortless extension. With care, this motion was able to replicate again and again. First, very slowly as if to keep this flame alive, then faster and faster, then at blinding speeds. Most surprisingly, the opponent transformed into a partner. The lunge was not a thrust directed at an opponent, but rather a movement that was drawn by the partner, as if in a dance. Wishing to understand and develop this experience, he began to uncover these hidden spacial dynamics, and to define the different qualities of space, and new dynamics of grace-filled movement.
Through sports, fencing, and dance he came to the experience of mastered space; through eastern martial arts to the experience of concentrated space; through the study of water, sound, and eurythmy to the experience of fluid space; through projective geometry to the experience of infinite space; through psychology, physiotherapy, classical and rhythmical massage, and movement therapy to the first-hand experience of the space of the other person.
It was out of this journey that Spacial Dynamics® was born. Every part of the human body has its own distinctive movement activity or gesture. Each of these has to be woven together to create a harmonious whole. Every stage of development, every illness, every relationship, has accompanying spatial movement gestalts or patterns. One can learn to perceive the patterns and discover and extract principles. Spacial Dynamic activities and exercises were developed to help learn to differentiate movement, and aid each part of the body to ease into its own archetypal movement pattern. With practice, it is possible to apply these principles with a growing degree of effectiveness, pleasure, and presence in everyday life.


The exercises from Fritz Graf von Bothmer known as Bothmer Gymnastics® are part of the foundation of spacially dynamic movement. The founder of Spacial Dynamics® trained and further developed the exercises to relate in ever growing ways to the space in which they are moved. Their quiet beauty and strong geometrical quality offer both a sense of order and the possibility for experiencing the different dimensions or "planes" of space. They also give a foundation for age-appropriate, developmental exercises for the growing child, teen, and adult.

The exercises used to help learn and integrate the human being's relationship to dynamic space are as varied as the interests of the people themselves. Discus, javelin, archery, baseball, games, dance, and other movement from various disciplines are studied in order to experience and then understand their underlying dynamics. This understanding then suggests what dynamics need to be created in space so that the physical body can move into it.
In addition, specific Spacial Dynamics® exercises have been developed. These slow, fluid, sculpting exercises are designed to balance and harmonize the human being in space. Spacial Dynamics® therapeutic techniques have also been developed to bring about a fluid harmonious integrity to the body and supporting structure to the space around it. These hands-on techniques work with moving into an ideal, dynamic posture that promotes healthy movements and helps to avoid and alleviate pain, injuries, and undue wear and tear on the body. One can learn to wear one's space, rather than getting worn down by it.
The exercises increase attentiveness and help the individual to consciously work towards self-development. They also flow over into interaction with others. Increased awareness of the changing dynamics of movement and space offer growing insights into group dynamics applicable to the corporation, the classroom, and the community.
