Discover the Franklin Method®

Developed by Eric Franklin, the Franklin Method® is a highly effective, evidence-based approach to movement education that focuses on the body and its function. The Franklin Method® is based on Dynamic Neurocognitive Imagery (DNI), which is the use of metaphorical mental imagery to support the development of healthy physical function, strength, mobility and coordination. This involves combining visualization techniques with physical exercises to improve movement. The Franklin Method® has been practiced for more than 30 years and is taught at workshops and trainings all over the world. Follow the Franklin Method® on Instagram (@franklinmethod).
