Far Vision Training 👀

It doesn’t seem like much but overtime this skill set actually degrades and it’s VITAL to the SHAPE OF YOUR EYE.

Studies are now showing that children are wearing glasses younger and younger because their whole world is within 2.5 feet from their face.

The shape of your eye literally depends on how often you are outside and changing the distances in which you see things.

Start small.

Think big.

Act now.

It’s simple and has a profound impact on brain and eye health 👀

Tag the first person you think of who could benefit from this 👇🏽

This seemingly simple task creates connection between your right and left hemispheres 🤯

🤚🏽 Before performing this exercise make sure to assess something.

🤸🏻♀️It can be single leg balance, how your squat feels, how far you can see, tightness in your body, anything.

🤚🏽 THEN do this Level 1 exercise and RETEST.

🤚🏽 If you get a better result go ahead and try Level 2 and RETEST.

Try this with your clients and yourself ASAP and let me know what happens 🧠 🤚🏽

What will you assess before and after this exercise?

Allow me to introduce you to the incredible "Infinity Walk" developed Dr. Sunbeck (she also wrote a book about it). She works primarily with children who have learning disabilities and as a result of her work, she found doing vestibular work helped them significantly.

She had to come up with a way to give them vestibular exercises that was fun AND also integrated other movement characteristics, without assigning them "rehab drills" to perform.

And so evolved the INFINITY WALK.

This looks super simple but when you actually try it on real people, it's way harder than it looks and the results are PHENOMENAL!

From my advanced, high quality training with z I learned that you can adapt, modify and play with different ways to make this relevant to your individual client's needs.

If you have a more advanced athlete you can add farmers carries, lunges, speed, perform cognitive tasks simultaneously and the list goes on....

If you work with an older population you can put them in an office chair or wheelchair and push them so they only need to focus on their eyes if they're able to.

You can regress or progress however you need to.

The proprioceptive system a.k.a. their body’s 3D map of itself in space, is what 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱 when things above the neck aren’t doing what they’re designed to do 😣⁣
⁣
So if:⁣
👀 one eye is weaker ⁣
👂 one ear is weaker⁣
👅 they can’t swallow⁣
👃🏽 they don’t smell well ⁣
…⁣
⁣
🧠Their brain might rotate their body causing some type of compensation (tightness/stiffness/pain) affecting all movement including gait, strength, training, Pilates, yoga dance, hiking etc. ⁣
⁣
💪🏽So if they continually work on the proprioceptive system, not the 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲, then compensatory pattern is never going to change.⁣
⁣
When, in doubt, think 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗸 when it comes to chronic and stubborn injuries or recurring pain 👆🏼👆🏼⁣

Now don’t get me wrong there are PLENTY of biomechanical proprioceptive exercises that work wonders 🤩 hello I’m a dancer and I LOVE exercise in every shape and form! ⁣

🎯 Does your client's brain fully process sound?

If not, it could be holding them back from reaching their goals!

Let’s test it out using one of my favorite assessments for Cranial Nerve VIII 🧠👂(aka the vestibulocochlear nerve) - and it's easier than you think.

💡 Common Myth: People assume auditory processing issues are just about hearing volume. But it’s also about how well the brain understands different sounds and directions!

Here’s a quick test to try:
1️⃣ Imagine a Tic-Tac-Toe board 🎲
2️⃣ Choose 9 different directions around your client (this covers all areas of sound intake)
3️⃣ Use a variety of sounds like snapping, clapping, or rubbing fingers 👏🤲 (each sound hits different frequencies, giving a full picture!)
4️⃣ Have them close their eyes and point to where the sound is coming from.

This helps you identify areas of auditory processing that could use a boost—and when those get stronger, so does everything from movement to balance! 🌟

From my own practice, I’ve seen clients make HUGE strides by simply working on how their brain processes sound.

It’s not just about hearing, it’s about connecting their brain to their goals. 🤯

Ready to try it? Comment "MENTORSHIP" if you want more tips on enhancing brain function through sound tests like these! 🔑👂

And if this helped, don’t forget to save & share with a colleague who could use it! 💥

I know your clients want better balance.

Unfortunately this isn't it 😬

Now before you come for me, hear me out: To create ✨lasting change✨ in the brain, especially when it comes to balance, let's practice going to the source of where balance comes from. Two places you could focus on are the cerebellum and the vestibular system.

I'm not saying unstable surface training is bad or wrong... what I am saying is that it is incomplete.

👉🏼 I have typically found a bigger startle reflex after doing exercises on an unstable surface for most people. If the client truly needs to get better at adapting to an unstable surface, then great, go for it. For most people, simple standing there with their eyes closed, should be the first assessment we do.

Here are a couple other ways you can help your clients with balance (from a more neuro perspective 🧠):

1. Feet hip width, eyes closed- can they stand there without falling?
2. Same thing, but feet together.
3. Tandem stance, heel to toe, each leg.
4. Single leg, each leg.
5. Single leg, eyes open.
6. Single leg, eyes closed.
7. Single leg, eyes closed, head turns in all 8 positions (like a compass 🧭 up, down, right, left, both diagonals)

I won't get into here but look up different cerebellar exercises on the side that the client needs to have better balance on. Trust me 😉

Whatchu think?

When it comes to working with clients on vision drills, I like to use a “vision sandwich” technique—think 2 eyes, 1 eye, 2 eyes again. 🥪

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Start with both eyes working together (we want that coordination!).
2️⃣ Then, switch to one eye—focus on the "weaker" one and give it some extra love.
3️⃣ Finally, go back to using both eyes so the brain knows, “Hey, this is how we’re supposed to work—symbiotic teamwork!”

One of my favorite drills for this is pencil push-ups! You’re asking the brain, "OK, let’s get both eyes on the same page," building strength and coordination in a way that translates into better movement and spatial awareness for your clients. This kind of training is amazing for improving depth perception, balance, and overall performance!

👓 Try this with clients who struggle with depth or focus or staring at screens all day. Watch their brain and body adjust in real time! 🤩
