Cerebral control can be restored by the practice of psychosensory exercises

- Receptivity

“All sensory, cutteanous, visual, auditory; the vestibular sensiblity integrated by the brain are used as a basis by the main centres of muscular control to continuously control human activity. Receptivity is sovereign over the most intimate structures of the tiny intrafusal fibres of the neuromuscular bunch”

- “Concentration on a painful point in the body acts as a mobilisation of the entire psychic energy on the perception of the peripheric excitation and as a limitation of the cortical excitation to the corresponding zone of a stimulated point of the body and thus prevents formation of idea“.

- “While reducing tension in the muscles, relaxation makes it possible to decrease the number of messages which reach the nervous system and at the same time a state of calm and relaxation appears. It is the cortical over-stimulation due to the increase of the muscular tension, which is responsible for the activation of the centres of muscular control and thus prevents relaxation”.
