Description

Join Mariska Breland in this workshop exploring our historical understanding of balance – from Vincent Van Gogh to World War II landing crafts to space travel. Then, Mariska teaches the neurological factors that impact balance, including the visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular systems, and the integration of those systems within the central nervous system. Finally, she explains the musculoskeletal causes of balance difficulties, including hip and ankle strength, stability, and flexibility. Objectives

- Begin to understand all of the systems of the body that play a role in balance

- Learn the different factors that can impact balance

- Learn ways you can begin to train balance for different needs

In spite of having experience in vestibular rehabilitation as a physical therapist, I have gained a greater understanding of balance disorders and interventions using the Pilates method after completion of this workshop. Admittedly, I needed to break out a vestibular rehabilitation book when taking the exam to refresh my memory. Informative and well presented.

Hi,

Is this workshop meant for instructors or can someone who experiences mild vertigo regularly benefit from it? I don't have the apparatus mentioned, if there's balance exercises in there with no props I could do regularly I'd consider purchasing, thanks for any reposnse

Hi Sue! Sorry for the delayed response. The workshop isn't really geared to instructors - it's about a general understanding of balance. A lot of the exercises (most probably) can be done without apparatus. For vertigo, if it is mild, one of the things that has worked well for me is walking on a treadmill (holding on) and turning my head slowly from side to side, and then turning my eyes slowly from side to side. I look up and down and left and right (and up left, down right, etc.) I discuss it in the workshop - why things like that can help. :)
