Oh boy. Most of my clients know how much I encourage (and sometimes nag about) education and understanding the whys and hows of pain, injury, and dysfunction. You guys. This. THIS!! I can’t recommend anything more than this free course you can take from the comfort of your own couch. You can learn about yourself in a whole new way that makes your pain or recurring injuries seem so much less scary. Do it!! Let me know when you have questions!

Since we released our first free online course one month ago, almost 6,000 health and fitness professionals have registered for the program! The feedback has been fantastic so we wanted to post a quick reminder today to please register soon if this is of interest. In case you haven't heard about Neurofundamentals, read below to find out what it is all about.
________

After two decades of teaching health and fitness professionals how to apply neuroscience in day-to-day client sessions, we’ve learned that having an opportunity to personally experience the material is key. And, because we know how powerful these experiences are, we wanted to create a way to share them with others in an easily digestible format.
_______
To accomplish this, we’ve created a brand new FREE online course: Z-Health Neurofundamentals

We took material from our 3-Day Essentials of Elite Performance workshop, as well as selected topics from other certifications in our curriculum, and created Z-Health Neurofundamentals!
_______
This online course “sampler" offers you:
8 Hour of Practical Neuroscience Including Lectures, Demonstrations and Hands-On Practice Sessions
Visual System Basics, Assessments and Drills
Introductory Vestibular Assessments
Sample Motor Control Exercises
Simple Respiratory Assessments
And More!
Z-Health Neurofundamentals is designed to serve as an intensive introduction to our material, courses, and online learning platform.
______
Most importantly, it’s completely FREE! We are offering 30 days of complimentary access to this program - no strings attached.

Eye strain is getting to be more and more common in the recent weeks. Do you always feel eye strain in your eyes? NOPE! You might have tailbone pain, sore joints, or an achy back. Here's a video from colleague Andrew Byrne Voice Studio to get you started with some 👀 drills! Get in touch if you've got any questions or would like to schedule an appointment to get a more individualized approach!

(Please note this is a video from Andrew's Singing Athlete course, so the part about phorias might not make sense. If you are a signing athlete, Andrew is one of the BEST people to talk to!)

I’m making the best of not being able to see clients in person with continuing education this week! Z-Health Performance and RockTape are now offering online live streaming for the next few months. I went back to the basics with R-Phase (Z-Health’s first pillar of courses) Thursday and Friday, and am taking Rocktape’s beginning and advanced Fascial Movement Taping courses through tomorrow. The beginning FMT course is great for anyone new to taping and its effects on the nervous system.

Looking forward to trying a few new things when we can meet in person again!

Most of us are feeling a bit stressed and overwhelmed by recent events and thoughts of what may come. NeuroKenshō classes have been cancelled and all in-person clients scheduled through March 31 have been switched to online consultations.

Given current stressors, uncertainty, and downright boredom, I will be adding virtual pay-what-you-can half hours sessions through March 31, 2020. Can't afford it? That's okay. If you've got the need, I've got the time. We can discuss anything you'd like, but my specialties include:

🧠 Neuroplasticity and how it can work for you
👀 Vision and breathing exercises for increased visual acuity, balance, and to mitigate stress and anxiety
⚡️ Chronic pain conditions and therapeutic pain education
🦶🏼 Plantar fasciitis, foot and ankle pain, injuries and strengthening
😴 Sleep issues

No need to be local, this goes for anyone with internet access. To schedule, send an email to katie@neurokensho.com with some times that work for you and a list of what you'd like to discuss!

70-90% of all sensory input comes from your 👁👁. Having 20/20 vision doesn’t show the whole picture. If your eyes don't move and perform well, you will likely find yourself more prone to injuries, pain, fatigue, and overall decreased performance.

We can change your body's outputs (yes, that means decrease your pain) by helping your vision with lots of neat tools and exercises. Let's play!

70-90% of all sensory input comes from your 👁👁. 20/20 vision is often considered to be THE vision goal, but if your eyes don't move and perform well, you will likely find yourself more prone to injuries, headaches, muscle tightness, pain, fatigue, and overall decreased performance.

Vision is dynamic and trainable! Nadia started her appointment at 20/23, meaning she could read a line of text at a distance of 20’, what people with “normal” vision can read from 23’ away. After a few repetitions of alternating movement and vision exercises, she finished her appointment at 20/13—she could read at 20’ what most people would have to step up to 13’ to read!

Your eyes can and should be trained just like any other part of your body. Improving your vision can change posture, breathing, pain, flexibility, mood, endurance, and energy levels!
