THE LEVELUP SYSTEM

Elite athletes approach recovery and performance improvement as a process, not just a pit-stop when they’re in pain or encounter an obstacle. Athletes with the best results typically invest 4-6 months.

LEVEL 1: OVERCOME OBSTACLES & REBUILD

When athletic performance is affected due to chronic pain, recurring injuries or mobility issues, neuroperformance techniques can accelerate change and recovery. Initial sessions include assessments to understand how well your brain and body are communicating. I’ll assess coordination, balance, strength and visual skills to identify potential contributors to current blocks. (Yes, your vision could be limiting flexibility!) We’ll shape a plan to meet your goals, including a program of at-home exercises to start you on a path to feeling invincible.

5-6 weekly sessions

LEVEL 2: BOOST YOUR BASELINE

Once we've identified and addressed the key barriers to performance, we'll shift focus to training the pillars of athletic excellence: vision, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems. Training will be tailored to your unique needs and your sport. We'll refine and advance your at-home program to improve flexibility, stability, speed and power while supporting daily recovery. With these tools, you’ll start to feel better during practice and competition and have effective recovery methods for managing daily aches and pains.

8 sessions over 3 months

LEVEL 3: OPTIMIZE & THRIVE

This phase is designed to sustain and enhance your new levels of performance. Sessions shift from building a new foundation to refining and optimizing the gains you’ve achieved. You’ll learn more advanced performance tools (elite athletes never stop learning!) and can use sessions to help you recover from training, matches & meets so you feel your best when it matters the most.

2x/month for 3 months

  • I highly recommend Yuka to anyone looking to elevate their athletic performance. Whether you are an amateur seeking a breakthrough to fast-track your progress or an elite athlete striving for that competitive edge, Yuka’s biomechanical knowledge and experience can make a profound difference. Her tools of vestibular drills and proprioception exercises have added key elements to my training and significantly optimized my performance. My average range of motion has increased, response times have improved, and my air awareness and body orientation understanding have sharpened—all thanks to Yuka’s expertise. My work with her has yielded advancements that have had a transformative impact on my gymnastics in the last three years.

  • It’s no secret that attempting to reach the pinacle of your sport takes everything that you have. Winning gold at the Paris Olympics took just that. I came to Yuka Sugiura at Level Up Neuro looking for the last 1% of help to achieve Olympic success. Specifically I was looking for ways to build focus, aggression, and short-term immediate flexibility. I am super grateful for the help I received from Yuka in my pursuits of excellence.

  • Yuka has taught me so much about my mind and body, and she’s been an important source of support for me. She has helped my flexibility and strength by finding what works for me, not just the majority, which is why I’ve valued working with her throughout my career.

    Emily Lee, 3x USA Gymnastsics National Team Member, UCLA ‘25

  • Working with Yuka has helped me become a better dancer... Now I feel so much stronger, and way more flexible. I also feel less soreness and pain after I dance because of the exercises she's given me.

    Katie, Competitive Dancer, Nor Cal Dance Arts

  • Yuka isn’t afraid to think outside the box to help her athletes get better. Gymnasts put so much stress and strain on their body, and Yuka understands that.

    Leah, mother of a gymnast

  • When I do one of the drills Yuka showed me, it makes my gymnastics easier and I feel like I'm floating

    Dylan, Level 10 Gymnast

  • I looked forward to the work I did with Yuka to help my flexibility. It allowed me to stretch muscles I wouldn’t normally think to stretch and even stretch the muscles I stretched on a normal basis but in new ways. I always felt more mobile after working with Yuka. She also helped me fix slight inconsistencies with my training, giving me different suggestions to adjust body position, or tips on how to hold my balance, and she helped me reduce aches and pains which in turn helped my training. Yuka is so great to work with as she understands that we are more than just gymnasts and will get to know you on a personal level, which makes working with her extremely easy. She is always looking out for our best interests.
