Wake up in the middle of the night? Try box breathing.

Very calming, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, the rest and digest system.

Increase carbon dioxide and get back to sleep!

Teaching people about fuel for the brain in my Brain Health 101 workshop.

Bag breathing increases carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
The nervous system functions best with an optimal blood/gas balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen.

We over-oxygenate with shallow mouth breathing!!!! We need to increase carbon dioxide levels!!

Why? CO2 benefits:
1. Vasodilator
2. Increase blood circulation
3. Increased oxygenation (it pulls oxygen outbof blood INTO cell ti create ATP)
4. Reduce stress hormones
5. More energy

Grab a bag a breathe into it for 20-30seconds, 4-5x/day.

Binocular. Both eyes need to work together for optimal movement.

Binocular. Both eyes need to work together for optimal movement.

Continuing our discussion of binocular vision dysfunction with a reminder that pain, tension and eye problems often go hand-in-hand. When you or your clients struggle with binocular visual alignment, the resultant tension in the eye muscles can bleed over into other tissues. This may contribute to an environment where head, face and neck pain becomes a daily problem.
________

If your clients regularly complain of these issues, make sure that you can provide basic assessments and exercise for them OR have a great referral network in place to make sure they can be properly cared for.

What is Brains and Balance

The science of neuroplasticity proves that the brain is capable of change at any age. The application of functional brain training techniques demonstrate that the input systems to the brain (vision, inner ear and joint receptors) can be trained to optimize brain function thereby improving vision, balance, and quality of life at any age.

My name is Kelly Ward and I am a certified Z-Health Brain Practitioner & FallProof™ Balance Specialist. I am passionate about the restoration, rehabilitation and re-education of the nervous system and the engine running it; your brain.

I’m not a mad scientist but rather a mature health and fitness professional who systematically and progressively challenges the motor and sensory systems involved in balance.

Think muscles and senses. Think results.
