In this episode, we will talk about science! in particular neuroscience Our brain controls how we move via neurochemical signals sent to our muscles. The efficiency of that signal depends on many factors, but one of them is for sure PRACTICE. For example, if a pianist doesn't practice the piano diligently, his/her skill will deteriorate. Same is for the BODY ... after all, practice makes it perfect. By training diligently and thoughtfully, a new pattern can be reprogrammed into the brain and therefore create healthy new movement patterns.
