Learn how to build training stacks or construct drills that target your cerebellar pattern. Learn how to integrate, vision, vestibular and proprioceptive training at the right dose and intensity to improve your cerebellar deficits. 

Learn how your gait is an expression of your brain function, how to identify common gait patterns, what the patterns mean, and which training categories can target each pattern. Compare gait assessment findings to the cerebellar testing covered in the Neuro Foundations to make sense of your neuro pattern.

Your brainstem is largely responsible for posture, stability, muscle tone, pain inhibition as well as autonomic control. Learn how to assess and train cranial nerves to leverage changes in posture, stability, muscle tone, pain inhibition, and autonomic function.  In part, we will be focusing in on assessing and training cranial nerves 1-4. This includes your sense of smell as well as eye movement assessments. We will hone in on an area of the brainstem called the midbrain to cover common history findings that suggest midbrain dysfunction, including an over-active fight or flight response. 

In part 2 of cranial nerves and the brainstem, we will hone in on a section of the brainstem called the pons. You'll learn how to assess and train cranial nerves 5-8 including, trigeminal nerve, abducens nerve, facial nerve and the vestibularcochlear nerve. You'll learn how deficits in the pons can be expressed as difficulty with extension-based movements and how to use cranial nerves to improve movement and decrease pain. 

In part 3 of cranial nerves and the brainstem, we will hone in on a section of the brainstem called the medulla. You'll learn how to assess and train cranial nerves 9-12 including, glossopharyngeal nerve, vagus nerve, accessory nerve, and the hypoglossal nerve. You'll learn how deficits in the medulla can be expressed as difficulty with flexion-based movements and how to use cranial nerves to improve movement and decrease pain. 

Learn neural pathways that transfer and interpret sensory information, how to sensory test receptors to identify deficits, how to train different nerve endings with things like warm/cool, sharp/dull, light touch and vibration, and discover the impact that scars can have on your pain and performance. You'll also learn how to take your neuromechanic training to the next level with sensory testing peripheral nerves. 

Deepen your understanding of the vestibular system and how to progress or regress drills according to your neuro pattern. Improve your ability to see and identify potential dysfunction and how to integrate other sensory work to improve vestibular function. Gain support with resolving vestibular dysfunction vs. using the vestibular system as an input to improve movement. 

Deepen your understanding of the visual system and how to progress or regress drills according to your neuro pattern. Improve your ability to see and identify potential dysfunction and how to integrate other sensory work to improve visual skills. Gain support with resolving visual dysfunction vs. using the visual system as an input to improve movement. 

Learn signs and symptoms that point to the need for spinal cord training including things like: history of spinal injuries, pain on both sides of the body, possible concussion or whiplash injuries or more internal health concerns. You'll learn targeted assessments and drills to dismantle. 

This tiny little brain area is the switch board operator of your nervous system. It acts like a gatekeeper, deciding which information can come and go. This area plays a role in chronic pain as well as other movement and motor learning issues. You'll learn ways to assess and train the thalamus for improved movement quality and pain resolution strategies.

The insular cortex is one of 5 lobes of the cortex. You'll learn what this brain area has to do with anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders and body ownership issues. You'll understand what this brain area has to do with your internal sense of self. You'll learn other signs and symptoms, assessments as well as novel ways to train this area.

The frontal lobe is well known for executive function as well as for housing your sensory and motor maps. You'll learn ways to assess and integrate executive training tasks into a physical and athletic context to improve the health of your frontal lobe. This can improve things like mood, attentional focus, decision making and organizational skills. And you can do all of this with targeted exercise. It's pretty cool!

The temporal lobe is one of 5 lobes in the cortex. It is largely responsible for processing auditory information. You'll learn ways to assess and integrate auditory training into a physical and athletic context to improve the health of your temporal lobe.

The occipital lobe and the parietal lobe are lobes in the cortex. The occipital lobe is largely responsible for processing visual information and impacts things like hand-eye or foot-eye coordination. You'll learn ways to assess and integrate visual training into a physical and athletic context to improve the health of your occipital lobe. The parietal lobe is largely responsible for processing sensory information as well as spatial awareness. You'll learn ways to assess and integrate sensory training into a physical and athletic context to improve the health of your parietal lobe. 

Learn some deeper neuroanatomy, including neural pathways, that will allow you to become more selective in your drill selection based on which areas of the brain you are trying to target. Practice problem solving using neuro stacks based on what you know about your neuro pattern. 

Talk through case histories and neuro assessments to improve your decision making process on how to help with a specific movement or pain issue.
