The NeuroGym® approach was developed by Dr. Avi Nativ, Ph.D., PT through a synthesis of clinical work and research in human motor learning and motor control, biomechanics, physiology of exercise, and rehabilitation medicine. Since 1990, NeuroGym® techniques and tools, such as EMG and Balance Biofeedback have shown excellent results in improving:
- Mobility.
- Strength.
- Range of motion.
- Balance.
- Fine and gross motor control.
The NeuroGym® approach provides active, movement-intensive rehabilitation that is as effective for an individual with a severe brain injury or spinal cord injury, as it is for a child who wishes to improve 'clumsy' motor abilities or for an athlete recovering from knee or ankle injury.

- Spinal Cord Injury
- Peripheral Nerve Injury
- Dystonia and Muscle Imbalance
- Cerebral Palsy
