Vibration Therapy - Neuromuscular Re-Education

Although Neuromuscular Re-Education has no universally accepted definition, it generally refers to a treatment technique or the exercise of a person with the aim of improving on the nervous system, the level of communication between the body and the brain.

Due to the fact that the vibration therapy training exercises on the involuntary stretch reflex, it is a significant part of the communication between the brain and the muscles contracting with each exercise.

This is intended to "jump start" the muscle by the high frequency of strong muscle contractions in which the patient is able to efficiently recruit the muscle fibers, coordinate movement through the joint and muscle tissue, and reduce the typical post-injury mechanical dysfunction in a lot faster than conventional exercise, exercise, based on voluntary movement.

This is often best achieved by the patients, a multi-planar exercise (an exercise, the movements at several levels of the movement. For example, a weight from the ground before the left leg, with the overhead - right Arm. This movement requires that the weight be increased to (sagittal plane), left to right (front /coronal plane) and rotated from front to back during the movement (transverse).
Proprioceptive Training

Also in the neuromuscular reeducation of this phase is referred to as proprioceptive training. Proprioception is defined as the feeling of the relative position of neighboring parts of the body. The proprioceptive system provides feedback solely on the status of the body to the inside. It is the sense that indicates whether the body moves with the required effort, as well as where the different parts of the body are in relation to each other (thanks Wikipedia!).

In my practice is that the common position of the primary concerns of my patients. As in phase 1 already mentioned, proprioceptive information is sent to the brain through specific receptors in the joints, so that during an exercise on the platform, this position data "slaughter" the information is already vibrating with an overwhelming majority in the brain. With careful consideration of the situation during a Exercise on the platform given case-specific movements in the adjacent regions with the intention to actively promote the improvement of the proprioceptive information to the brain through the regions.

Successful improvement of proprioceptive communication can best be achieved through the patient a simple region specific proprioceptive exercise before and after exercising on the platform.

What is exciting about this phenomenon is that in some cases, the proprioceptive benefits seen in regions far removed from those encouraged. In the articles to follow I will be on the 3rd and 4th stages of treatment as well as other areas, which reached its climax, that my interest and my patients.
