Integrating Applied Neurology into Your Practice

As a dedicated physio or physical therapist, personal trainer, or coach, you've likely encountered clients whose persistent pain or movement challenges defy traditional interventions.

Despite your best efforts, their chronic discomfort returns, leaving both you and your clients searching for more effective solutions. This is where Applied Neurology can revolutionize your practice, offering new insights into the nervous system's pivotal role in movement and pain perception.

Understanding Applied Neurology

An education in Applied Neurology is a groundbreaking shift in health and fitness, focusing on how the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves govern all bodily functions.

By understanding these neural connections, practitioners can move beyond treating symptoms to addressing the root causes of dysfunction. Applied Neurology uses targeted, non-invasive exercises to retrain the brain and nervous system, leading to immediate improvements in movement, pain reduction, and overall performance.

This approach not only enhances physical outcomes but also sharpens cognitive function, giving coaches, trainers, and therapists a powerful tool to deliver faster, more sustainable results for their clients.

"By focusing on the neural mechanisms that govern movement quality and efficiency, practitioners can help clients optimize their biomechanics, reduce injury risk, and enhance overall performance."

Key Concepts in Applied Neurology

Neuroplasticity: the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life.  This adaptability allows for recovery and improvement in function through targeted interventions.

Neuro Drill and Exercise: brain-driven drills and exercises to turn on the brain and decrease thereat within the brain.  The outcome is then reassessed on the validity of how well it works with the nervous system.  Giving us a proof positive way to know immediately if it worked or did not work.

Sensory-Motor Integration: the process by which the nervous system interprets sensory information to produce coordinated motor outputs.isruptions in this integration can lead to movement inefficiencies and pain.

"By understanding how the relationship between the brain affects everything below the neck (i.e., the body), trainers can gain deeper insights into how the brain and nervous system are influencing movement, pain, and physical performance."

Integrating Applied Neurology into Your Practice

To incorporate applied neurology into your practice, consider the following steps.

Comprehensive Assessment:  Valuate not only the musculoskeletal system but also the client's neurological function, including reflexes, sensory perception, vision, vestibular and motor control through a framework system that Next Level Neuro teaches in their programs (see below).

Individualized Interventions:  Develop tailored interventions that address identified neurological deficits, such as specific sensory retraining or motor control exercises to target changes in the brain and nervous system threat levels.

Education and Empowerment:  Educate clients about the role of the nervous system in their condition, empowering them to actively participate in their rehabilitation.

Assess - Reassess Process:  Showing clients the outcomes gives them a decisive, in-the-moment understanding that Applied Neurology works because they can SEE and FEEL the changes immediately.

"This knowledge allows for the development of targeted interventions that address neural imbalances, movement dysfunctions, and compensatory patterns, leading to improved movement quality and overall performance"

Benefits of Applied Neurology

By integrating applied neurology into your practice, you can:

Enhance Outcomes: addressing neurological components can lead to more effective and lasting improvements in function and pain reduction.

Broaden Your Skill Set: expanding your understanding of the nervous system allows you to tackle complex cases that may not respond to traditional methods.

Promote Client Engagement: clients often appreciate a comprehensive approach that considers the interplay between their nervous system and physical health.
