NeuroFitness with Makoto: Therapy For Mind and Body

“Over the past decade the concept of neuroplasticity, our ability to re-grow and repair neurological pathways in the brain and body, has advanced from hypothesis to accepted theory. Studies of Makoto-like therapies that combine cross-body movements with visual and auditory stimulus show significant improvement in visual, cardiovascular, and neurological performance. These improvements include the areas of memory, proprioception, cognitive processing, speech, learning disabilities and more.

The most important advantages realized by therapists using Makoto are two-fold:

-it is fun, so it breaks up the tedium of most therapy

-it is measurable; patients' motivation increases as their scores improve. (www.makotousa.com)”
