Welcome

Dear Colleague,

This is the website of the Bad Ragaz Ring Method Foundation.
The public part is mainly used to announce courses and other educational topics.

The part behind the login is a web based CD. The information consists of explanations on how to apply the patterns of the Bad Ragaz Ring Method (BRRM) by means of text, photos and video clips. Additional video clips on the use of selected PNF techniques, complete the information.

The login and password can only be purchased during courses, recognized by the BRRM Foundation.

Two examples of video clips can be seen at the following links:

• Example 1
• Example 2

EMG research project has started

During the 2008 Aquaevidence course in Leuven, Belgium (www.aquaevidence.eu), the first sophisticated EMG measurements of BRRM patterns have been successful in a trial session. A project group has written a research proposal as the basis for a preliminary study that took place in Valens, Switzerland at 18th and 19th October 2008. A 4-channel wireless system has been used (www.kine.is) and measurements of a bilateral asymmetrical reciprocal leg patterns have been made. Data have still to be analyzed, but muscles act according to the PNF tables. It seems that especially the isometric resistance is very important to achieve a proper muscle function of both the isotonic leg and the trunk. Also the use of Combination of Isotonics and Timing for Emphasis clearly showed up in a different pattern of signals.
The project group consists of Urs Gamper (Valens, CH), Dan Daly and Johan Lambeck (Leuven, BE), Jane Hall (Bath, UK), Tapani Pöyhönen (Jysväskulä, FI) and Ingi Einarsson (Reykjavik, Iceland)
