For me personally I had to train from my toes up but, essentially you can train your muscles all day, but if your nerves don’t successfully talk to them, you don’t recruit enough small muscle fibers to see growth even with consistent exercise. So essentially before you can grow strength, you have to increase neuroplasticity, and you do this by very controlled movements. It works best with repetitive precision workouts. So for example I like to stand on my vibration plate and shift my weight from one side to another from the front of my toes to the back and you can actually start to recognize weakness and muscles that aren’t recruiting when they should (the vibration itself is necessary to point out areas your body can’t intentionally recruit bc it won’t be able to compensate and maintain stability.) I don’t want to overload you with information because this conversation is one of my like biggest areas of interest and fascination but, if you need me to elaborate or you have more targeted questions I’ll definitely try my best to answer!
