In his book, Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell theorized that anyone can become an expert in any subject matter or skill if they purposefully practice that skill for 10,000 hours. What if we applied that same thought process to movement? How easy would that movement be to complete if we practiced it 10,000 times? Neurological Rehabilitation Research shows again and again that patients do not get enough reps in the clinic alone to facilitate optimal recovery. It is essential for neuro patients to practice the skills they learn in the clinic outside of their therapy time to gain full mastery. So I ask again, where would you be if you practiced that skill or movement 10,000 or even 5,000 times? 1,000 times? 200 times before you stopped trying?
