Physical Therapy -> Neuromuscular Retraining -> Coordination
Coordination
With each part of our brain talking to each other and relaying information through our nervous systems to our muscles, it can take a lot of brain power to coordinate movements. Some of these coordinated movements come easy, like walking, but some of them are hard, like patting your head and rubbing your tummy. PT wants to make sure that all of these things are coordinating with each other.
