Sensory before Motor!

One of the most neglected and generally unknown concepts is that having a good sensory system is integral for health and performance.

If you've ever had a surgery or reoccurring injury it is likely that you have some level of sensory deficit.

Simply put, you can't feel things as well in that area.

Your brain is highly dependent on its ability to "feel."

When your sensory maps are blurry, your performance will suffer and your risk of injury is higher.

If you've had a surgery and didn't do any sensory rehab, the job is incomplete.

At TMP, we assess this kind of thing extensively.

There is so much more to training and rehab than just doing exercise!
