Ep 125: The Neurology of Movement: A Two-Way Street Between Brain and Biomechanics

We often treat movement like a one-way equation: Brain → Body → Performance.

But in reality, it's a feedback loop. The body is constantly sending information back to the brain, and that information shapes how we move, perform, and recover.

In this conversation with Harry Worrow, we talk about his frameworks for working with everyone from athletes to individuals with neurodegenerative conditions, and how he uses biomechanical analysis paired with functional neurology. Specifically, we cover:

• The two-way relationship between neurology and biomechanics
• Why better sensory input leads to better movement output
• A deeper look at working with the visual and vestibular systems
• Why movement quality should come before load and intensity
• Strategies for long-term progression in neurodegenerative cases

Movement is a blend of hardware and software, mechanics and neuroscience. Ultimately, it's shaped by how the nervous system interprets and responds to the world – and the good news is that this you can influence this process with the right techniques and strategies.
