Episode notes
Low-Tech Often Beats High-Tech
- Applied neurology rarely needs fancy gadgets; many tools are common household items or inexpensive.
- Simplicity and low-cost tools often deliver the highest percentage value in neuro work.
Prime Movement With Targeted Sensory Tools
- Use focused sensory tools: vibration device (Z-Vibe), tuning forks, and small textured heads to activate specific skin receptors.
- Apply 'sensory before motor' to prime movement and improve immediate range or stability.
Use Sharp Stimuli For Scar And Sensory Work
- Test sharp sensation (e.g., fork, pin rollers) for sensory rehab and scar work when vibration isn't enough.
- Use small-duration pokes or rolling points for 10–30 seconds to prime proprioception without provoking pain.
