Welcome to episode 4 of From the Ground Up Athletic performance podcast. On this episode I sit down to discuss neural aspects with Shawn Sherman of Square 1 Systems. We discuss a variety of topics we begin the podcast by focusing the discussion on the neural lens and discuss rudimentary patterns and how they pertain to locomotion and his system. We define motor control and discuss how it can erode overtime. We discuss how compensation creeps into movement patterns and the effect it can have on healthy and optimal movement patterns. We discuss the role of isometrics in increasing neural drive and effectively restoring movement competency in square 1. We examine how his system differs from other systems on the market, and we end out by examining the role of the visual, somatosensory, and vestibular system play in posture and movement. I hope you enjoy the episode Shawn provides a lot of great perspectives and hopefully it encourages you to examine the role of the nervous system in locomotion, sporting events and overall effective lifestyles.
