Sports Performance and Coordination

Whether you're an elite athlete, a student competitor, or simply passionate about movement, optimal performance starts with one thing: neurologic efficiency.

At Vital Balance, we go beyond traditional sports rehab or strength training. Our approach focuses on maximizing the brain-body connection to unlock your full athletic potential—improving speed, power, reaction time, balance, and coordination by enhancing how your nervous system communicates with your muscles, joints, and senses.

Our Approach to Peak Athletic Performance:

 

1. Advanced Neurologic Assessment
We start by analyzing how well your nervous system is controlling movement. This includes:

• Eye tracking and visual reaction testing

• Gait and postural symmetry analysis

• Joint proprioception and balance evaluation

• Frontal lobe and cerebellar coordination testing

• Upper cervical spinal integrity and brainstem function

 

2. Precision Chiropractic Care to Optimize Input
Misalignments—especially at the upper cervical spine or pelvis—can disrupt nerve signaling, reflexes, and timing. Even small imbalances can cost you milliseconds in reaction or inches in stride. We use precise, neurologically-informed adjustments to restore structural balance and improve sensory input to the brain.

 

3. Neuro-Motor Integration & Reflex Training
Once alignment is restored, we focus on retraining key neuromotor circuits. Using drills that challenge balance, eye tracking, rhythm, body awareness, and cognitive timing, we help athletes refine the accuracy and efficiency of their movement patterns.

4. Brain-Based Performance Mapping
We identify underactive or overactive movement zones in your body—and trace them back to the neurologic origin. This allows us to custom-build brain-based warmups, cool-downs, and corrective protocols that match your sport and position.

Benefits for Athletes and Active Individuals

• Faster reaction times and decision-making

• Increased body control, accuracy, and symmetry

• Reduced risk of injury and compensation

• Improved coordination under pressure

• Sharper focus and resilience during competition

Who We Work With

• High school and collegiate athletes

• Runners, pitchers, gymnasts, and rotational athletes

• Adults pursuing peak fitness or recovery from setbacks

• Youth athletes in development stages of coordination and control

If you're training hard but not performing at your highest level, the missing link may not be your muscles—it may be your brain.
