What is a Coordination Patterns™ colleague?

Coordination Patterns™ colleagues are experts in their field who, with special training and work with Betsy Wetzig, have applied the Coordination Patterns™ to their work. The colleagues have the ability to spread the awareness and use of the Pattern's mind and movement link, especially the Pattern's greater understanding (the knowledge of the embodiment)  of human endeavors and individual growth. They have enriched their own expertise with the use of the Coordination Patterns™ as a dynamic and fundamental tool.

What is a Registered Coordination Patterns™ Trainer? RCPT

A Registered Coordination Patterns™ Trainer (RCPT) is an expert in their field who has taken courses in and worked with the Patterns to reach a level of expertise in the Patterns as they are applied to their field.

Such Registered Trainers have the right to advertise using the Coordination Patterns™ Training logo, use Coordination Patterns™ material as developed by Betsy Wezig, and teach individuals and classes as well as develop workshops using the Coordination Patterns™. Registered Trainers will have their names and contact information listed on the Moves4Greatness web site.

Can I take the Registered Coordination Patterns™ Trainer course for Pilates basic Mat if I am not currently certified in Pilates Mat?

Can I receive private training in Coordination Patterns™ Training?

Yes. Such training is available with Betsy Wetzig, through this site. See the products page for more details. Private training can also be arranged through designated Registered Coordination Patterns™ Trainers.

How many exercises does CPT use? What are they like?

Betsy has developed hundreds of exercises over the last 30 years of working with all types of people and Pattern applications. Many of the  exercises can be done in different combinations of Pattern styles which magnifies their corrective effects.  Registered Coordination Pattern Trainers for Pilates, InterPlay or body work will use exercises and physical practice specific to their discipline.  Betsy  has designed a basic physical practice for her Basic Workshops and will soon be creating a CD.  In Betsy's private sessions she can teach and perhaps even design for you the specific exercises which will bring you the best and quickest results.

Can a workshop, class, or private training be specifically designed to meet my group or company's needs?

Yes Betsy Wetzig often designs workshops specifically for the needs of specific groups. For instance she designed a specific workshop for the AMTA Board of Pennsylvania on both massage/body work and leadership/communication.

Can Coordination Patterns™ Training improve your physical abilities and prevent injury?

Yes. The training exercises make your coordination whole and balanced. Such training releases and makes you aware of your use of the over-rides. More then that, many physical injuries and lack of ability are caused by the mental aspects of misused patterns. For more information please visit the Coordination Patterns™.

Can Coordination Patterns™ Training improve your use of your mental abilities?

Yes. Misuse of the patterns can make stylistic access to a given intelligence or behavior extremely difficult. All of what people consider as mental abilities have support through kinesthetic intelligence and the Patterns. Over time freedom in the use of the Patterns will give you greater access to your skills and abilities.

Are the Patterns nature or nurture?

A combination of both. Please read Move to Greatness: Focusing on the Four Essential Energies of a Whole and Balanced leader for a full explanation.

How can I learn about the "home" Pattern test?

The manual test for the Home Pattern or Pattern of lowest tension level was developed by Josephine Rathbone. It is relatively easy to administer, however, many people desire to be supported as they learn how to administer the test. Betsy Wetzig teaches the procedure in many of her workshops. As people become Registered in Coordination Patterns™ Training they will also be able to give such class support to others.
Back to Top

Where can I go to get tested by Rathbone's test for my "home" pattern?

Betsy Wetzig or any Registered Coordination Patterns™ Trainer can administer the test. The test is also given in some Coordination Patterns™ Training workshops.

Back to Top

Can I discover what neuromuscular tension pattern scale is?

Yes, once your home pattern is known it is easy to compare your tension levels as you do each pattern. Again, this is done in some of the Coordination Patterns™ workshops and classes.

I seem to do a little of all four patterns. Is this possible?

Yes! Everyone has all four patterns, but not everyone uses all four equally. Most people use two of the patterns predominantly. This is their dominant style. But many people like to use more then one style. Artists often have periods of their life where they explore one style and then move on to another. In America many people use more then one style to decorate their home. While for others the whole house is decorated in one style. It is a good idea to be comfortable and free in the use of all four patterns. This requires the use of a variety of styles.

Do the Patterns determine what type of person we are attracted to?

Yes, both as friends and as potential mates. It is easiest to have a friend or mate who likes and enjoys the elements and characteristics of our dominant style and home pattern. In fact "soul mate" friends often have the same Home Pattern. However, opposites do attract. A large percentage of married couples have a home pattern, or at least a very strong pattern, which is the weakest pattern of their mate.

Is a family style a blend of the two dominant styles or home Patterns of the parents?

Sometimes, but it is also sometimes the 'Correct' style of the culture, or the dominant generational pattern of a particular family. For example, I have seen families where Shape and Swing are the Home Patterns of the parents, but the dominant family style is Shape-Thrust.  Often in such familial lines the dominant family pattern goes back several generations.

Is one family style better then another? Or is one family style more dysfunctional?

NO! Larry Constantine did some wonderful work on this subject.

Is Multiple Intelligence a Coordination Patterns™ element or characteristic?

No. Each Intelligence is caused by a particular place in the brain. It is not style. You can have all the possible Pattern styles for each intelligence.
