Neuromuscular Re-Education comprises of the training or re-training of the body’s muscles, brain, and the nerves used for them to communicate with each other to improve movement, strength, balance and function. Neuromuscular re-education is a technique that enables the body to restore normal function of nerves and muscles, to improve movement, balance, coordination, and proprioception.
Exercises for neuromuscular re-education are part of a therapeutic technique that addresses various adverse conditions that arise from damaged nerve and muscle groups. The exercises are extremely beneficial for unhealthy movement patterns that persist after injuries.
When treating a patient with this technique, basic principles of neuromuscular physiology are applied clinically in the treatment. Physiological principles of both the muscular system and the nervous system are utilized. It is very important to maintain a vast knowledge of both of these systems as they play crucial roles in restoring and maintaining normal function of our nerves and muscles.
