Neuro Pilates: The Somatic Nervous System

The somatic nervous system is a division of the peripheral nervous system and serves as a vital communication bridge between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. It plays a crucial role in the transmission of sensory information and the control of motor activity. Sensory receptors situated throughout the body are key players in this process. Without them, we would be unable to perceive our surroundings or interact with our environment effectively.

In this course, we will cover the major types of sensory receptors that are relevant to motor control, and how the somatic nervous system contributes to our overall functioning. You will learn cueing and exercises specific to each type of sensory receptor in order to draw targeted responses from your clients.
