IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER

Throughout this program, we will be getting you acquainted with all the parts of your body. We have short videos that focus on the eyes and the mouth as well as breath-work training and body scans all to get you more connected to your body.

Here's a short breakdown of how doing these "neuromuscular exercises" work to help get you more connected to your body.

Neuromuscular connection

The communication and interaction between the nervous system and the muscles. It is crucial for controlling movement, balance, and coordination in the body.

• The connection involves the transmission of signals from the nervous system to the muscles.
• Signals travel along nerves and reach the neuromuscular junction.
• At the junction, the nerve releases a chemical messenger that stimulates muscle contractions.
• Disorders or disruptions in the neuromuscular connection can lead to muscle weakness, spasms, or coordination difficulties.
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation often focus on optimizing the neuromuscular connection to improve movement and function.

The neuromuscular connection is crucial for various activities, ranging from simple actions like walking and reaching for objects to more complex movements like playing sports.

Disorders or disruptions in the neuromuscular connection can lead to conditions such as muscle weakness, spasms, or coordination difficulties. Movement Therapy focuses on optimizing the neuromuscular connection to improve movement, function, and overall well-being.

Motor control refers to the process by which the nervous system coordinates and regulates muscle movements.

• Key components of motor control include sensory input, integration, motor planning, execution, and feedback.
• Motor control is essential for everyday activities and disorders or injuries affecting it can result in movement difficulties.

Eye mobility exercises offer benefits for eye health, prevention of eye conditions, enhanced focus and concentration, reduced eye fatigue, improved coordination, stress reduction, enhanced peripheral vision, and support for corrective measures.

Tongue exercises can benefit oral health, speech improvement, swallowing disorders, sleep apnea, muscle tone, dysphagia treatment, and improved control.

Breath work, or intentional and controlled breathing, offers benefits such as stress reduction, improved mental clarity, enhanced mood, better sleep, increased energy levels, improved respiratory function, emotional release, enhanced self-awareness, pain management, lowered blood pressure, improved immune function, increased mind-body connection, enhanced digestion, reduced anxiety and depression symptoms, and improved cardiovascular health.
