What is Neuromuscular Re-education?

Neuromuscular Re-education is a therapeutic technique that uses targeted exercises and multisensory feedback to help retrain the nervous system's control over movement. By focusing on balance, coordination, posture, and proprioception (the body's sense of position and movement), this approach helps correct faulty movement patterns and restore proper muscle function. It is an effective, evidence-based therapy used to improve stability, prevent falls, and support recovery from injury.
