Stimulation, Sensor Sensation and the Ability to Adapt
In this webinar, we’ll delve into the concept of learning as not just the ability to adapt to the ABC, but also as a crucial mechanism for navigating through unforeseen challenges such as injury or trauma. We’ll explore the underlying drivers that empower us to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity. Join us as we explore the fascinating interplay between learning, adaptation, and resilience.
Feet, Vestibular System and Ocular Stability
Space Research has shown the invaluable value of gravity on cognitive and emotional functions, but it is the effect of gravity on the functioning of the physical body that grabs attention. The feet as point of interface between gravity and the body will be highlighted during this presentation with specific reference to the co-dependent relationship between the feet ,vestibular system and ocular stability.
Primitive Reflexes & the Development of Vision
The primitive reflexes act as nature’s way to develop the nervous system, central and peripheral. When we look at the systematic unfolding of the nervous system, the role of the primitive reflexes shows how the senses of proprioception, touch, movement, smell, taste and hearing supports vision. The primitive reflexes involved with the maturation of the vestibular system plays a fundamental role in this process and the confidence with which a client perceives and moves in their environment.
