At MOTUS Specialist Physical Therapy, our mission is to bridge the gap between rehab and performance. Whether you’re an athlete returning from injury or striving to reach the next level in your sport, we believe that true recovery goes beyond muscles and joints—it includes the brain, vision, and sensory systems that drive movement.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Senaptec, a leader in sensory performance training, to bring cutting-edge tools like the Senaptec Strobe Goggles and the Senaptec Sensory Station into our clinic. These technologies help athletes sharpen their reaction time, improve focus, and optimize coordination. These skills can make the difference between good and great.
Senaptec Strobe Goggles: Training the Brain Behind the Eyes
The Strobe Goggles are not your average training glasses. Using liquid crystal lenses that flicker between clear and opaque, the goggles reduce visual input, forcing the brain and body to process movement more efficiently.
- For Rehab: Athletes recovering from injury can use the goggles to retrain balance, proprioception, and confidence in movement. By “turning down” vision, the brain is challenged to rely more on other sensory feedback, accelerating neuromuscular control.
- For Performance: In healthy athletes, the strobe effect sharpens reaction speed, decision-making, and focus under pressure. All skills essential for fast-paced sports like soccer, basketball, and baseball.
Think of it as resistance training for your brain.
Senaptec Sensory Station: Measuring What Matters
The Sensory Station is a big-screen, interactive testing and training system that evaluates an athlete’s sensory and cognitive skills across 10 key domains, including:
- Eye-hand coordination
- Reaction time
- Depth perception
- Peripheral vision
- Target capture and tracking
This baseline testing allows us to identify strengths and areas for improvement. More importantly, it gives us objective data to guide rehab progression and return-to-play decisions. Instead of relying only on how your ankle feels or how strong your knee is, we can measure how fast your brain and body work together in real time.
Why This Matters for Athletes at MOTUS
Traditional physical therapy often focuses only on restoring joint range, muscle strength, and tissue healing. At MOTUS, we know that high-level athletes need more. Reaction time, anticipation, and decision-making are what separate those who simply “return to sport” from those who return ready to dominate.
By integrating Senaptec technology into our programs, we help athletes:
- Return to play with confidence
- Reduce risk of re-injury
- Gain a competitive edge in performance
- Train smarter, not just harder
Bringing Science and Sport Together
Our team at MOTUS doesn’t just rehab injuries, we help athletes return to the previous level of performance. With the addition of Senaptec Strobe Goggles and Sensory Station training, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sports rehab and performance.
If you’re curious about how sensory training can elevate your game or if you’re recovering from injury and want the most comprehensive path back to sport reach out to us at MOTUS Specialist Physical Therapy.
Let’s train your brain as hard as your body.
