How Sensory Integration and Brain Stimulation Transformed This Child’s Balance
Many people don’t realize just how crucial sensory systems are in developing balance. For one child we worked with, a combination of primitive reflexes, sensory issues from spina bifida, and poor integration of balance centers created significant challenges. However, through targeted therapies, we saw remarkable improvement in just one hour.
Here’s a breakdown of the approach we used to help this child activate his balance centers, improve muscle function, and integrate primitive reflexes.
Step 1: Activating Sensory Receptors for Better Brain Feedback
To start, we focused on stimulating the sensory receptors in his feet and legs using a tool called Resimax. This device enhances sensory input, which is critical for improving balance and coordination.
At the same time, we used laser therapy to:
Increase blood flow to nerves and muscle tissues
Enhance neural feedback to the brain
Support overall nervous system function
As a result, his brain was able to receive better signals from his body, which immediately started improving his balance.
Step 2: Strengthening the Vestibular System
Next, we incorporated Neurosage, a tool designed to stimulate the vestibular system—a key player in balance and spatial awareness.
To maximize the impact, we simultaneously:
Lasered the cerebellum, the brain region responsible for balance and coordination
Worked on muscle activation in his legs, ensuring his body could support these new balance improvements
Because his primitive reflexes hadn’t fully integrated, his brain and muscles weren’t communicating efficiently. But through targeted stimulation, we were able to wake up those connections and help him gain better control over his movements.
The Transformation: Major Balance Improvements in Just One Hour
The changes we saw were incredible! As his brain and body started working together more efficiently, his:
Balance significantly improved
Primitive reflexes became more integrated
Leg muscles began activating properly
This transformation happened in just one hour, showing how powerful sensory and neurological rehabilitation can be when applied correctly.
The Key to Improving Balance: Sensory and Brain Integration
If your child struggles with balance, coordination, or sensory challenges, it’s crucial to address the underlying brain and nervous system connections. A comprehensive approach—like the one we used—focuses on:
Activating sensory receptors for better body awareness
Stimulating the vestibular system to enhance balance
Improving muscle function for better control and stability
Integrating primitive reflexes for long-term improvements
By combining these strategies, we can help children overcome sensory-related balance issues and build a strong foundation for movement and coordination. If your child is struggling with similar challenges, know that improvement is possible!
