A little more understanding on WHY we work on so much visual, vestibular, pro prioceptive work, and how it produces positive outcomes in not only movement, strength, and balance... but also clearing negative thought patterns, which in turn affected neural inputs, in turn, affecting muscle firing patterns and balance.
Poor balance, lack of coordination, and system leakages affect all facets of strength, power, and agility, which create limited athletic performance. They all originate from the same neurological foundation, how your brain processes information from your eyes and inner ear.
Your visual system (eyes) provides 80% of sensory information for spatial orientation, movement guidance, and threat assessment. Your vestibular system (inner ear) supplies fundamental spatial reference, head position data. Your pro prioceptive system is the neurological map that tells your brain where your body is in space.
You can stand on BOSU balls for hours and waste your time, but if your vestibular system isn't processing head movement accurately, and you don't have optimal foot / big toe/ pelvic floor/diaphram engagement/ movement..... connection to the ground and balance won't improve.. sustainably. period.
You can drill coordination patterns/ plays/ movements endlessly, but if visual tracking is compromised, movements will remain inefficient, and patterns/ plays will all be compromised with non optimal processing speeds. If your pro prioceptive system is compromised / not trained, your bodys idea on it's connection to the ground or where it is in space... will be negatively affected.
Performance plateaus typically indicate sensory-motor control limitations, not insufficient strength.
Balance, coordination, pain perception/ management underlay all athletic performance and all stem from one source.
Your brain's ability to process visual and vestibular input.
Your brain's ability to control movement is directly elated to the quality of proprioceptive input it receives.
Better proprioception = better movement control better performance
This is why brain-based training is the future of movement.
