Rhythmics Classroom of the Tubía Method
Recovery and development of movement
Hemiparesis, Parkinson’s, blindness, intellectual disability
What is Rhythmics Classroom?
Rhythmics Classroom is a teaching space for movement therapists
Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, music therapists, speech therapists and all those professionals who provide direct care to people with neurological disabilities: special education teachers, dance graduates, physical education and sport sciences graduates, psychologists and clinical assistants.
Rhythmics Classroom also has a special training area for patients and their families.

Musical Body Rhythmics in the recovery and development of movement - Tubía Method
This is a course aimed at health professionals and special education that deals with its main applications:
- recovery of movement in hemiparesis
- improvement of movement control in Parkinson’s
- motor and cognitive development of people with intellectual disabilities
- Musical Body Rhythmics adapted for blind people.
Musical Body Rhythms for the development of movement in blind people - Tubía Method
Musical Body Rhythmics course adapted for blind people, for their motor and cognitive development, to favour their autonomy and quality of life. This course is for blind people and their families (individual classes) and for schools of blind childrens (group classes for blind children and their teachers)
All online classes are live.
Special training for patients and relatives
Musical Body Rhythmics for a family unit. All online classes are individual and live.
Musical Body Rhythmics for support groups (group classes).
All online classes are in group and live.

Musical body rhythmics of the Tubía method
Musical body rhythmics is the result of 24 years of research into the influence of musical rhythm and rhythmic movement in the rehabilitation of motor and cognitive functions that are affected by injuries and central neurological diseases.
Its main application is the recovery of movement in hemiparesis (brain injury), the improvement of movement control in Parkinson’s disease, the motor and cognitive development in blind people, as well as the motor and cognitive development in people with intellectual disabilities. It is of interest in dementias as a healthy physical activity inducing positive emotional states.
This method comprises a programme of rhythmic exercises of progressive complexity that they are performed with a selected musical repertory because of its psychomotor, emotional and proprioceptive sensory inducement. In each pathology, or in each development process, a progressive order, guidelines and a way of proceeding are established in order to obtain measurable results from a motor and cognitive point of view.
This method of functional movement re-education provides a harmonic technique to the field of neurorehabilitation and contributes to the current of scientific thought of neuroplasticity, that is, the brain’s ability to reorganize itself and recover functions lost due to acquired brain injury. In the case of congenital brain injury, the same principle applies to the development of abilities (movement, language and cognition).
This functional reorganisation is not spontaneous but activity-dependent. The brain has the quality of being modified itself by learning, of reorganizing the networks of neurons and the connections of these neurons. In brain damage, when trying to perform a lost function, healthy neurons can take over the function of injured neurons that have lost their function and establish new synapses.
Taking into account that functional recovery depends on the activity, the activity proposed by the Tubía method is a programme of musical body rhythmics, which involves physical education, ear education and rhythmic movement education.
MUSICAL BODY RHYTHMICS FOR MOVEMENT THERAPISTS
Tubía Method
Musical body rhythmics is the rhythmic movement linked to music in terms of the most relevant technical domains of the essential and substantial.
Its elements are:
What are the courses like?
The contents of the courses have two components: on the one hand, basic rhythmic exercises that a movement therapist must master, and on the other hand, how to proceed and results of their application to rehabilitation and movement development (hemiparesis, Parkinson’s, blindness, intellectual disability). The courses are of practical teaching.
