This specifically focuses on retraining the communication between your nerves and muscles. It’s used when injury, surgery, neurological conditions, or pain disrupt that connection.
How it Helps:
- Improves motor control: Helps the brain and muscles “remember” how to move properly.
- Restores balance and coordination: Especially after stroke, injury, or prolonged immobility.
- Reduces compensatory movement patterns: Like limping after a knee injury, which can cause further problems.
- Enhances proprioception: Your body’s ability to sense where it is in space (key for athletes and fall prevention).
Common Techniques:
- Balance exercises
- Functional movement training
- Biofeedback
- Electrical stimulation
- Postural training
