Werner Schaffner’s lifelong fascination with physical movement and over 25 years of experience in movement analysis and training have made him an expert in functional anatomy and human movement patterns. Inspired by the biomechanically innovative Fosbury Flop, he pursued the goal of researching effective forms of movement. In disciplines such as athletics, taekwondo, tai chi and dance, Schaffner intensively investigated the optimal symbiosis of movement rhythm and efficiency, paying particular attention to intra- and inter-muscular coordination.
His pedagogical career in taekwondo, coupled with a sports science qualification and the Trainer A licence (national trainer qualification) and as a professional dance trainer, enabled him to analyse individual movement sequences in detail. Additional specialisations in kinesiology, tai chi and the Feldenkrais method, supplemented by in-depth studies in anatomy and movement theory (Human Movement Specialist) as well as neurofunctional training, led to the development of the Better Movement System. This system is based on a newly interpreted functional anatomy and aims to optimise the quality of movement and promote health.
