Brain repair and general health improvement through human neurophysiology and repair physiology

Abstract

In this review of Coordination Dynamics Therapy (CDT) it will be shown that, using human neurophysiology, pathophysiology and repair physiology, the human Central Nervous System (CNS) can partly be repaired by movement-based learning. Since most body functions are controlled by the nervous system, these body functions can be improved through CDT. Since physical exercise also improves the immune system and the cardio-vascular performance, cancer growth can be inhibited. CDT therefore helps to reduce the occurrence of cancer, heart attack, stroke, hypertension and bladder incontinence mainly by improving the cardiovascular performance and CNS functioning. This general health improvement became possible by the development of human neurophysiology and basic medical research. *Correspondence to: Giselher Schalow, Institute of Exercise Biology and Physiotherapy, Centre of Behavioural and Health Sciences, University of Tartu, 5 Jakobi Street, Tartu 51014, Estonia, E-mail: g_schalow@hotmail.com
