In your brain, you have a detailed map, of what your whole body is capable of. This information is provided to your brain by your eyes, ears and receptors known as proprioceptive receptors. Â These receptors located in your muscles and joints, provide real time information to your brain, about how your muscles and joints are moving.
Studies have shown that ageing and injuries leads to a decline in proprioceptive information coming into your brain. Â Simply put, the map becomes distorted or fuzzy, due to the decrease information. Â This leads to a decrease in joint performance and an increased risk of injury.
By using functional movement exercises you increase the information coming into your brain.  As a result you create clarity in your brain map of both the joint movement and the muscle control of the joint.  In other words, by using functional movements, you decrease the risk of injury and improve joint performance. That’s why it is so effective and the simplest path to full recovery.
