3 Essential Educational Components Absent in Today's Trainer, Coach, and Therapist Training

In the realm of health and fitness, we often focus on physical exercise and nutrition, but what about the intricate workings of the brain and nervous system?

Those behind closed doors and Ph.D.’s understand the necessity of brain health and the nervous system, so why are those who are at the front lines of our health system lacking in this education?

Shouldn't every health professional understand these essential systems and how they are paramount to their current education to better serve their clients considering they engage all these systems already?

The health industry has always known about the power of the nervous system and if it is not recovered, our muscular system will not operate at peak.

Recognizing when these 3 crucial areas are not performing at their peak and knowing how to address it is crucial for everyone to understand. 

We, the everyday trainers, therapists, and coaches who interact with people seeking better health, should be equipped with this understanding to help them without relying solely on specialists.

Let's explore three crucial areas of neurological understanding that every trainer, coach, and therapist should grasp.

1. Vision and Brain Integration: Our vision is more than just seeing; it's a complex system that integrates with other sensory and motor functions.

Understanding how vision influences movement, balance, and overall function is key for assessing and improving performance.

From eye tracking to visual processing, incorporating vision training into client programs can enhance coordination, reaction time, and sports performance.

2. Vestibular Brain Body Integration: The vestibular system, located within the inner ear, plays a vital role in balance, spatial orientation, and movement control, and POSTURE.

Dysfunction in this system can lead to dizziness, vertigo, and impaired coordination.

Health practitioners should be equipped to recognize signs of vestibular dysfunction and implement appropriate interventions to restore balance and function.

Incorporating vestibular exercises into training programs can improve stability, coordination, and overall movement quality.

3. Proprioception: Proprioception, or our sense of body awareness and position, is essential for everyday movement and athletic performance.

It allows us to move efficiently and adapt to changes in our environment. Health professionals should understand how proprioceptive feedback influences movement patterns and motor control.

By incorporating proprioceptive exercises and drills into client programs, practitioners can enhance proprioceptive awareness, joint stability, and injury prevention.
