Force and The Nervous System
Neurophysiology Seminar:
Force and the Nervous System: Are You Providing
the Most Effective Treatment You Can?
As a healthcare
or fitness professional, you apply force to the body to
improve your patient's or client's quality of life.

Learn what happens to nerves as we move through range of motion. Do nerves stretch? What are elastic and plastic properties of nerves? What if the nervous system is not as mobile as the muscles and the joints they control?
The truth about Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) - Is it as simple as the traditional agonist/antagonist relationship? For range of motion deficits, is RI the chicken or the egg, i.e., what are the vast and varying causes of ROM deficits?
Training the nervous system - With any exercise or therapeutic modality the nervous system is obviously involved. In this new section, we will explore how to take advantage of the nervous system's design. For example. All isometrics are NOT the same - no, I do not mean from a purely mechanics perspective. The choice of resistance resistance is key. Your nervous system can have a dramatically different response to different types of resistance.
And last, but not least, COOL NEW T-SHIRTS! |
These are the tools that you use:
- Manual resistance
- Weight training
- Rubber tubing
- Stability training
- Springs mounted on sleds
- Cardiovascular training
- Isolated or integrated exercise
- Soft tissue manipulation‡‡
- Intrinsic mass based training‡
- Joint manipulation
