Description

For neurogenerative disorders, the traditional rehab approach that solely focuses on strength and ROM can fall short.  This holistic, full body approach will also help you to accurately identify and track neurodegenerative changes so that you can streamline your treatment plan.  In this session, learn to restore and optimize function with novel “neuro-rewiring” approach that utilizes neuroplasticity techniques to enhance coordination and body awareness.
