Getting Back on Track... Fast
When you're recovering from injury you need to make sure your body heals. But what about your brain?
Two weeks of altered movement following a sprain or break can permanently change neural patterns in your brain.
Your Body Cant Outperform Your Brain
Your body only moves as well as your brain lets it and if your brain underperforms, your body underperforms too. Most methods, techniques and treatments focus solely on the body and neglect the central role that the brain plays in your movement.
All changes in movement start with changes in your brain.
By combining the power of neurology with movement, vision, balance and sensory exercises, we create rapid change to what matters most to your movement: your brain.
How Your Brain Coordinates Movement
Your brain uses three essential systems to control movement and navigate your way through the world.
Visual System
How well you see
Vestibular System
How well you balance
Proprioceptive System
How well you judge your body
Any deficit in these systems will impact how freely you move and how well your body will perform.
If you can’t see well, balance well, or judge your body well, you won’t be able to move as fast, lift as much, or even pick up a hot drink as confidently.
Harnessing Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change and adapt - and it’s changing and adapting every moment of every day. You can influence how it changes by providing the right stimulus in the right way.
When you stimulate the right parts of the brain, movement improves immediately.
Neuro-centric movement uses a combination of movement, vision, balance and sensory exercises to activate under-performing parts of the brain.
The Hidden Truth About Movement
Receptors throughout your body receive information - sight, sound, touch, body position and more - and send that information up to your brain.
Your brain then has to interpret all that information and decide what to do about it, before sending signals down to your muscles to coordinate movement.
Movement is the final part of the process - the output.
Here’s the thing most people don’t think about… if there’s a problem anywhere in that process your movement will suffer. If you have bad input you’ll still get bad output.
Having poor movement or motor control, doesn’t mean you should only practise your movement. Quite the opposite. If you only work on your output, you’re actually missing huge opportunities to improve your movement.
You can improve your movement by improving your brain’s input, interpretation or output
-
Input
Receptors throughout your body receive information send signals up to your brain
-
Interpretation
The brain decides what all of the information being received means and what to do about it
-
Output
The brain sends signals down to the muscles to coordinate movement
Neuro-centric movement sessions combine movement, balance, vision and sensory input exercises to target specific areas of the brain to quickly improve your movement. I look at the whole process from your receptors to nerves and from the brain to the muscles to help you achieve your goals and maximise your movement.
