Why We Roll out our feet:
If you trace your movement back to its beginning; movement development (motor) is developed after sensory development. That is why it is called Sensory-Motor Development. In a bit of a simplistic explanation; our brains are built someone like puzzle pieces in the sense that one piece connects to another. The part of our brain that is responsible for sensory, develops BEFORE the part of the brain responsible for motor development.
The tactile component of sensory development is namely expressed in the hands and the feet. Tactile refers to the skin. We have several reflexes and many receptors in the skin and our feet that send information to our brain about what it is in contact with.
Modern shoes act like sensory deprivation chambers cutting off information from these skin receptors to our brains. Our brains want to conserve energy, so if we don’t use it, we lose it. This can cause of feet to become “dumb deaf and blind”.
Here at DC Sports Training, one of the very first things everyone from my 4 year olds up to our 80 year old clients do is take of their shoes and socks, and roll our there feet with our Neuro-spike balls.
�Tactile stimulation is related to proprioception. Proprioception is a component of coordination. Coordination is one of the driving links between what we want to do and what we can do.
We have seen in a matter of minutes of just rolling out bottom of our feet improvements in joint range of motion, vertical jump improvements and decreases in pain.
If you have sensitive and or ticklish feet, these could be signs that you need more barefoot in your life.
As a motor-performance coach, understanding the importance of the sensory systems and its effects on motor output can help our clients get of pain, and improve performance. Sensory drives motor!

Our combine is on April 1st! We will be speed and sprint profiling. How you sprint is just as important as the time you sprint!
10 years?! Where has the time gone?? Fastest 10 years of my life thus far. What a ride it has been. It hasn’t been easy. We have loved and we have lost. But we have remained steadfast towards getting to the root cause of issues and helping our clients achieve the highest results they can. Thank you to everyone who has been apart of it. Thank you to those who have kept pushing us to search for better ways. Thank you for those who have inspired and motivated us to better what we do. We have only made it this far because of the great people we have met along the way. Thank you!
I’m a fan of using mini hurdles (wickets) for learning purposes. The ability for an athlete to “feel” the difference is what will drive change. Eventually you have to remove the hurdles and see if the athlete is able to keep mechanical integrity. @najee_harris
