My Journey into Applied Neurology: The Franklin Method®, NeuroHorizons®/NeuroScanBalance® & Neuroathletics

Through the Franklin Method® , I learned to visualize anatomy and physiology through imagination. This form of mental training had an enormous impact on my well-being and sparked my interest in the functional anatomy of the human body.

A supposed “coincidence” led me to the methods NeuroHorizons® and NeuroScanBalance®. Through these gentle, body-oriented approaches, I learned to refine my body awareness (proprioception) and to consciously perceive the quality of my movements. I experienced firsthand how my body reorganized itself: my movements became more efficient because energy was no longer lost due to muscular imbalances but flowed directly into the movement, and my perspective on how I reacted to situations also changed.

The neuroathletics according to Lars Lienhard finally provided me with the scientific framework of applied neurology. I came to understand the central control unit: the brain. For the brain to enable optimal motor output (strength, mobility, and freedom from pain), it requires high-quality sensory input from our senses (the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems). This also affects how we perceive the world and how we respond to it.

Today I understand that our bodies have all the tools they need to regenerate. My training programs have been so successful because they all have one thing in common: they speak the language of the brain.
