Motosound is a
Multi-Sensory Program for schools and home life, great for parents, teachers, therapist,
foster carers, and all care workers who support children, young people, and
adults. The wonderful thing about this program, it is also for you.
It helps improve motor and cognitive abilities, neurological conditions, and any emotional challenges in children (age from 6 months) and adults through sound, colour therapy and exercises.
Listening to sound with conduction head/earphones.
The air and bone conduction system
The bone conduction
headphones use two different types of sound processing, both air and bone
conduction, to stimulate the brain. These two systems emphasise different ways
of sensory processing and complement each other.
The classical music composer Beethoven used bone conduction to help him continue writing music after having problems with hearing. Some animals are also able to communicate through bone vibrations.
Sound is a vibration! When it travels through the air, we use the term “air conduction”. Sound travels even better through the bones of the body: this is called “bone conduction.” Cover your ears and speak normally. You hear your voice perfectly clear because it travels mainly through the bones of the skull, speak louder and you can feel your whole body vibrate.
How Bone Conduction Works
How to use the bone conduction earphones and sound therapy music
The bone conduction earphones transmit sound through the cochlea, skull and jaw that surrounds the mind, connecting to various parts of the brain.
The picture above shows you how to wear the earphones. The earphones are wireless and can connect to Bluetooth through your phone, compatible with iOS and Android devices.
The process of the sound therapy music:
1. Connect your
earphone to Bluetooth
2.
Connect to the sound therapy music
3. Listen to all
tracks per day for 30 days
After the 30 days take a break for a few weeks then you can do another round or as and when you are guided.
Motor Sensory Integration Exercises.
A child’s growth, development and learning start from the very beginning of entering the world. Sensory and motor interaction will start to show itself in many ways for example crawling, balancing, visual tracking, and coordination, allowing the baby to experience the world around them whilst naturally developing their brain and body.
For different reasons a child may not have access to these important motor skills therefore can have difficulties with processing information, balancing, speech delay, hyper activeness and having problems with different parts of their senses when reaching primary school age all the way up to adulthood. A great book to read is The Maze Of Learning, Developing Motor Skills by Charlotte Davis.

exercises

Colour Healing with colour
glasses
Healing your life with light and
colour
Good health requires balance, using coloured light through
the eyes sends a message of healing to the body to rectify the imbalance and
simultaneously shift the underlying reason of dis-ease. The glasses can be used
for adults and children.
What colours work with your body

Medical
advice:
If you have any health
issues, please consult your doctor with regards to using the sound therapy or
exercises.
Sound therapy can be used
without the earphones if you have any conditions preventing you from using the
earphones. Relax in a calming environment and listening to the sound music from
a stereo or your phone.
