Here's an exerpt from new book, ABCs of Balance; Aging, The Brain and Coordination
The nervous system does three things:
1. Receive sensory input messages
2. Interpret those messages and decide what to do
3. Send a motor output
This continuous flow of communication is how we move through life. The quality of the input messages directly affects the quality of the motor output. A motor output is anything muscle-related. Muscles get their information from nerves. Neural impulses and hormonal responses are motor outputs.
Simply put, the better the input, the better the output. Having your brain make decisions regularly improves the efficiency of the system. These three steps must happen quicker than one-quarter of a second or you will fall down.
An efficiently running nervous system is the goal if you want to live life to the fullest while having a minimal risk of a falling down. Heck, I want an efficient nervous system so I can move better through life, so my brain can function at it's highest potential and so I can feel and be the best me possible no matter what age I am.

Kelly Ward, Z-Health Practitioner & Balance Expert |
As a Z-Health Neuro-Practitioner and Nervous System Specialist, I believe maximized brain function requires active training of the brain structures; not passively thinking about life and envisioning the best me possible. Your thoughts definitely influence brain patterns but I want to activate the entire nervous system and it's three functions.
Logically thinking, to improve nervous system communication I would think increase speed of the three functions of the nervous system; increased input message transmission speed, increased brain interpretation and decision making speeds and increased motor output speed.
To prevent a fall, training for speed only makes sense because the quicker the response, the less likely you are to lose your balance.
In order to increase reaction speeds, you need to know how to train the three components of the nervous system. Personal trainers, strength coaches, yoga instructors and group fitness instructors teach motor output training techniques and classes. ZHealth Brain Practitioners train the sensory inputs and the brain's interpretation and decision making skills in addition to motor outputs.
Motor output is only one part of the nervous system. While it's important to maintain the muscles, tendons and ligaments, if you want to reach your maximum potential, it's time to train the entire nervous system; not just one component. It's time to start training the inputs!
1. Input.
2. Interpretation.
3. Output.
That is the basis for everything we do. The basis for how we move through life, how we respond to environmental signals (both internal and external) and how we react to life's imbalances. And as a nervous system specialist and Z-Health Brain Practitioner and Neuro-Performance Coach, I train the entire nervous system.

mostly, your balance so you don't Fall Down!
