NEUROMOTOR? What is it? In orthopedic PT and strength/conditioning it's easy to get stuck in the mindset of only treating/training the musculoskeletal system.  The nervous system is often underutilized when prescribing exercises, especially early in rehab programming.  Dr. Tami Hefferon discusses neuromotor training early in ACL rehab along with tools for progressing/regressing neuromotor exercises.  The brain is an amazingly powerful tool that can be tapped into throughout any of the stages of healing to help improve musculoskeletal movement patterns.
