Motor Preferences™ History

The concept of Motor Preferences did not emerge overnight. It is the result of decades of observation, experimentation, scientific questioning, and field validation. This timeline traces the key milestones that shaped the development of the Volodalen approach, from its earliest conceptual roots to its current application in performance, health, and movement science.

Each stage reflects a step forward in understanding a fundamental idea: human movement is not random, and it is not uniform. Every individual organizes motion according to innate neurological, biomechanical, and perceptual tendencies. Volodalen’s work has been dedicated to identifying, structuring, and validating these tendencies so they can be understood, assessed, and applied in real-world settings.

This historical overview is not just a chronology. It is a map of how a field of study was built rigorously, progressively, and always grounded in observation of the human body in motion.
