LOS GATOS, CA, August 18, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Edward Jonathans, BSc - IMC is now offering the Interactive Metronome (IM) at Whole Medicine in Capitola and Los Gatos. Interactive Metronome is a computer-based technology to enhance motor planning, sequencing and timing which can improve learning and a variety of types of performance that depend on the ability to plan and sequence actions and ideas.

The Interactive Metronome uses rhythmic and movement treatment exercises that have been found to improve motor planning and coordination in both children and adults in academic and sports endeavors. In addition, IM performance correlates with academic achievement in areas such as mathematics, language, reading, and attention to task. In a recent clinical study the Interactive Metronome was found to produce significant gains in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the areas of concentration, motor planning, control of aggression, language processing and reading. These findings are consistent with recent research on the growth of the brain that indicates that environmental influences, not just genetics, can facilitate a child's development.

The Interactive Metronome involves the principles of the traditional, musical metronome, combined with the precision of a personal computer to create engaging interactive treatment exercises. The interactive metronome program uses head phones along with hand and foot sensors to coordinate movements to computer-generated musical beats. Like training wheels on a bicycle, a patented auditory guidance system progressively challenges participants to improve their motor planning, sequencing and rhythmic timing performance.

"Edward was critical in my son making significant gains in his sports goals as well as opening up areas of greater academic achievement. Ed utilizes his specialized skills in Interactive Metronome Training in an incredibly inspiring way. My son blossomed under his encouragement. We had previously done an entire very expensive program over the course of a couple of months with another trainer who clearly was not coming from the same level of ability or insight using this technology. It showed little improvement in my son's goals.

After the 1st session with Ed, I saw immediate results! Ed uses specified plans for each student to get the best results. He is compassionate, understanding, supportive, and a natural motivator.

I will not hesitate to use Ed again as my son wants to pursue further training to increase his times and abilities. And I recommend him to anyone who is seeking the best in this field." -- Jennifer Baumgardner
