HOW IT WORKS
Signals from the brain make our limbs move. In the case of people with
a disability or the like, these signals from the brain cannot reach the legs. COGY promotes a reaction from the spine rather than brain, where even the slightest movement in one leg can create a reflex reaction where the opposing paralyzed limb will move. Information from the sensory nerves modulates the neural networks of the brain and spinal cord. We call this neuromodulation.
