The neural hierarchy is a powerful explanatory framework for how our brain relies on sensory information when we are active, but what if the vast majority of the movement and fitness industry only focuses on the least important sensory system?  Today, I speak with my podcast producer, Tony, about the neural hierarchy.  I outline what the three sensory systems in the neural hierarchy are and focus on the visual system which accounts for 70% of the sensory information that our brain receives.  I discuss my own challenges with visual impairment as a young athlete, how the visual system interacts with movement and athletic performance, and why a visual deficit can potentially lead to pain and injury.  I also discuss how training and activating the visual system can have surprising benefits in pain management, threat reduction, and strength and coordination.
