The neurology of vision is both incredibly complex and absolutely amazing when you dig into the details. With that said, this quote perfectly sums up the basics - the eyes provide the raw data and the brain transforms it into information that helps us move through the world.
_________

Why does this matter so much?
_________

Because the brain is plastic. It adapts and changes based on how we stimulate and challenge it. We are often asked if it's possible to improve vision with training. The answer, which is supported by a growing body of research, is yes. However, most of the improvements occur in the BRAIN and not in the structure of the eye itself. When you understand this, it opens up a vast number of possibilities and options for training.

Your visual system is obviously one of the most critical to safely navigating your world. Unfortunately, it's often neglected in the movement world. We spend lots of tie and energy working on joint mobility, but tend to forget the visual system in the process. So, what do you do?
__________

While there are literally dozens of different visual skills and thousands of potential exercises, one of the EASIEST things you can do is to simply work on eye range of motion and coordination.
__________

Start slowly by imagining there's a compass in front of you. Now, while keeping your head still, look up as far as you can and hold for 5-10 seconds. Next, look down. Then, right, left, and on each of the 4 diagonals. After, you've done this, repeat with your head turned left and right, flexed and extended. Finally, if you're still feeling good do 5-10 eye circles in each direction with each head position.

Many people will find this very tiring so feel free to change it so that it's comfortable and pay close attention to how your body feels when you're done. This is a simple and incredibly useful daily visual hygiene practice we highly recommend.

Breathe smart!! Egal ob Sportler oder nicht. Eine der täglich am häufigsten durchgeführten Tätigkeiten des Menschen ist das Atmen. Ca. 20000 mal/Tag atmen wir. Bewusst meistens nur dann, wenn das Atmen schwer fällt. Da die Atmung einen sehr grossen Einfluss auf die gesamte Funktion unseres Körpers und Nervensystems hat, ist es absolut sinnvoll ihr zwischendurch, bewusst mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken, um somit auch die Qualität der unbewussten Atemzüge zu verbessern! Als Experte für neurozentriertes Training zeige ich dir gerne, welche Atemübungen die Gesundheit und Leistungsfähigkeit deines Körpers optimal unterstützen!

When you work with clients with chronic low back pain it is essential to think beyond the local structures. Most movement professionals know this.
_________

What is not as well-known yet, however, is how powerful the visual and vestibular systems can be as a part of a well designed rehab program. One reason for this is that the research is only now beginning to show up!
_________

Check the link below for an interesting 2018 study showing distinct differences in both smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements in patients with low back pain vs. healthy controls.
