About the Author

Blandine Calais-Germain's lifelong involvement with dance, both as performer and teacher, eventually led to an interest in other physical disciplines, and then to more formal study of the complex and integrated movements of the body.

From 1977 to 1980 the author studied physiotherapy at the French School of Orthopedics and Massage in Paris. In physiotherapy, body movements are analyzed both in terms of their neurophysiological and mechanical aspects, which allows for a better understanding of the actual mechanisms of movement.

From her work with dance and physiotherapy, the author developed an innovative method for teaching the physical structures of anatomy in relation to movement. This method, the subject of her companion volumes Anatomy of Movement and Anatomy of Movement: Exercises, has been enthusiastically received in workshops that she presented for many years in France. Her two books have been translated and published throughout the world in many languages.

Andrée Lamotte is also a dancer, and has taught dance for more than thirty years. She currently heads the center for Danse-Creation (founded by Anne-Marie Debatte) in the French town of Lille. The center provides training in both dance and movement studies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful manual for those wanting to learn more about the anatomy of movement, Sep 9 2009
By Adventure girl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anatomy of Movement: Exercises (Paperback)
As a student of dance, yoga, and Pilates instructor I have found the "AOM: Exercises" to be a very useful companion to the original AOM book. It provides deeper understanding of the anatomy involved in posture, walking, and more specialized movements such as plies and jumps. I have used the exercises, which are beautifully basic, to help students with, for example, feet and ankle problems with excitingly good success. Because the exercises appear to be pretty basic to my students, I have found that they will do them more often on their own. I recommend this book for those that need to understand the anatomy involved in every day movement as well as to those that want to enhance theiir dance/yoga/Pilates experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very effective and practical guide, Dec 1 2011

This review is from: Anatomy of Movement: Exercises (Paperback)
Some years ago I incorporated many of these exercises when rehabbing my back after a car accident. The exercises/stretches were practical and effective. I have NO chronic, recurring dysfunction and I credit that in part to staying active with these gentle but purposeful exercises rather than loading up on pain meds and "resting" it. Movement is essential to restoring function! Highly recommend.
