The essence of Noigroup USA
Our vision is to seed ‘healthy notions of self through neuroscience knowledge’ worldwide. There are currently five critical conceptual change issues that underpin this:
- Injury or disease does not mean that you feel pain
- The nervous system moves and stretches as we move
- Pain, stress, and performance are outputs of the brain
- Knowledge and movement are the most significant pain and stress, liberators
- Nervous system plasticity gives new hope and technique
The biopsychosocial approach, or the merging of the biology of human pain, stress, and performance with the psychological and social environment, is the basis of the Noigroup educational philosophy.
Assessment and management of the physical aspects of the nervous system and brain sciences with a focus on neuroplasticity – mainly how the brain represents our body – is an important focus.
Overall, the nervous system is a remarkable, mobile, complex, plastic, and changeable organ that impacts acute and chronic injuries and diseases. The Noigroup education system covers acute and chronic musculoskeletal, central, peripheral, and neuropathic pain states.
