Neuromuscular Re-Education

Your nerves and muscles work together to move. Neuromuscular Re-Education is used by physical therapists when they are looking to restore natural movement patterns. It is also used to reduce pain due to neuromuscular deficiencies. Unlike conventional strength training, the exercises used in this treatment address movement quality based on biomechanical and neuromuscular principles. They also emphasize joint control in all biomechanical and movement planes.

Neuromuscular Re-Education is one method used by fisio's physical therapists. It facilitates the return of normal movement in patients with neuromuscular impairments. Average neuromuscular ability sees the nerves send signals to the muscles to contract to counteract the force. The nerves also send signals between your muscles and brain about where, when and how fast to move. Over time, muscle movement patterns are learned and stored in your memory. When nerves or muscles experience damage or injury resulting from trauma or various conditions, muscle movement patterns can be negatively affected.

When the neuromuscular ability is affected, it may be challenging to balance, move and maintain stability through the body's joints. At fisio, we work to train or retrain your muscles and nerve connection via communication with the brain to improve movement, strength, balance and function. This session is especially beneficial for those experiencing pain to target the root of chronic pain by addressing trigger points and postural and biochemical issues. We are ready to help you to live a more functional and pain-free life.

The Session

Your neuromuscular re-education treatment plan will be designed based on your initial functioning. An assessment will be made first to examine your strength, posture, balance and joint movement, and factors leading to the pain or inactivity. Our team at fisio will teach you neuromuscular re-education exercises that will include a variety of functional strengthening, stretching, balancing and coordination activities to help you achieve your goals.
