Neurovisual Training Programme

Neurovisual training at CPM Pavla Koláře optimises the coordination between the visual system, vestibular system, and motor control — a discipline that sits at the intersection of ophthalmology, neurology, and DNS movement medicine. Using individualised visual diagnostics and specialist movement training, the programme addresses how gaze control, peripheral vision, and visual reaction time affect athletic performance, postural stability, and movement quality. Offered as a trial session (2,000 Kč) followed by a 12-session programme at 1,900 Kč/session.

The visual system is the single most dominant sensory input to the brain's postural and movement control centres — yet it is rarely assessed or trained in conventional physiotherapy or sports performance settings. Neurovisual training at CPM Pavla Koláře bridges this gap by combining the DNS movement philosophy with specialist visual system rehabilitation, drawing on clinical expertise from neuro-ophthalmology, vestibular rehabilitation, and sports performance. The programme begins with an individualised visual diagnostics assessment that maps the function of smooth pursuit (ability to track a moving target), saccades (rapid gaze shifts between targets), vergence (convergence and divergence of gaze for depth processing), peripheral vision, and visual reaction time. Deficits in any of these areas can manifest as balance instability, headaches, poor hand-eye coordination, reduced spatial awareness in sport, or fatigue from visually demanding work or screen use. The 12-session training programme then uses a combination of computerised visual training tools, gaze-stabilisation exercises, stroboscopic training, and movement-integrated visual tasks to improve the detected deficits. The movements are designed within the DNS framework so that visual training is always integrated with appropriate deep stabilisation — training the eye-brain-body chain as a unified system rather than treating the visual system in isolation. Athletes use the programme to improve reaction time, peripheral awareness, and the speed and accuracy of sport-specific gaze behaviours. Children with attention, reading, or writing difficulties that have a visual processing component benefit from the programme's neurodevelopmental approach. Adults with chronic headaches, neck pain from screen work, or balance issues following head injury or vestibular disturbance may also find targeted benefit.
