NeuroMovement for Better Balance
Good balance gives us great freedom in movement. It lets us feel safe and free to venture out into the world; to try new things and to move swiftly and powerfully.
Yet so many adults suffer compromised balance in their movement. Balance problems are among the most common reasons that older adults seek help from a doctor and are a major cause in falls. In 2008, an estimated 14.8 percent of American adults (33.4 million) had some form of balance problem.
And it is not only a challenge for the aging population. Research done in NASA has shown that people in their 20’s already begin to show signs of diminished balance.
Balance is a BIG deal. Our structure is such that our body is built to almost fall all the time when we are upright. We have a narrow base, a high center of gravity and a heavy head at the top.
The good news about this structure is that it makes initiating movement very easy and allows great freedom to move in all directions. On the other hand the brain has to constantly make sure we don’t fall.
It takes a healthy child’s brain six years to figure out to LEARN how to stand safely on one leg for 10 seconds and how to hop on one leg 20 feet. And it doesn’t stop there. This child will continue to improve his or her ability to balance while doing increasingly more complex activities for year to come.
How come so many people, including young people, begin showing deterioration in their balance skills?
Unlike children that move constantly and their brains have to negotiate the gravitational field continuously, adults sit for long hours starving their brain of the need to figure out how to not fall. And even with some of the fitness programs, the activity does not require the brain to negotiate balance. For example: using stationary bikes, lifting weights while strapped into a machine, or even doing exercise routines that have a limited number of movement variations.
Is it unavoidable for people, as they age, for their stance gets wider, for movement to become rigid and increasingly more limited in an attempt to not loose balance?
The answer is a definite NO! The human brain is the most changeable part of ourselves. With the right conditions all symptoms of aging, including deteriorated balance, can reverse themselves.
Balance is the outcome of your brain having the resources and the speed to make sure you do not fall as you move. With NeuroMovement® for Better Balance Program your brain will receive the flow of new information it needs. With this new information your brain will create new connections and be able to swiftly and effectively stop you from falling as you move. and allow you better coordinated movement.
You will be able to move faster and be more sure footed. Whether standing on one leg when you put your pants on, going up and down stairs, hiking a narrow trail, performing Yoga poses, dancing, or getting in and out of the bath tub, you will have the joy of easy, safe and well-balanced movement, and the freedom to do more of what you want.
