A REVOLUTION IN BALANCE
When Aristotle decided that there are only five senses, he under estimated the complexity of the human organism. He neglected the all-important sense of balance. The 6th sense. Today, and some 2,400 years later, we are just beginning to understand the vital role that balance plays in our health. Recent medical and scientific discoveries have put us at the threshold of a revolution in the study of perception. And, especially of balance.
THE RIGHT TURN TO A WELL-BALANCED LIFE
The missing dimension in most fitness programs – indeed in our daily lives is Balance. We’ve long understood the relationship between movement and coordination and balance. Now we’re learning that the same sensing system that controls motion sickness can also create difficulty seeing, hearing, and touch. Even our ability to learn is affected by balance. Exercises which enhance our balance stimulate a component in our brain that makes learning easier! The vestibular sensing system has several functions. 'CORE' BALANCE is the most well known. It also plays a significant role in posture, 'CORE' MUSCLE tone, coordination, vision, hearing, All 'CORE' SENSES, arousal and 'BRAIN TRAINING'. Problems in the vestibular sensing system can result in poor balance, blurred vision, vertigo, spatial disorientation, learning problems, muscles too taught, increased heart rate and increased respiration.
WHAT THE BILLY BOARD® Revolution CORE Pro BALANCE TRAINING SYSTEM CAN DO FOR YOU
The Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro can ‘Fine-Tune’ and ‘Tune-Up’ your Vestibular Sensing System! The Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro is an exciting, precision, rotational skill disc that develops coordination, dynamic equilibrium and balance. Simply by varying the incline of the disc, you control the degree of difficulty and challenge. The steeper the incline, the harder it is to stay in control and the harder your balance system works. The goal is to use the Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro at its maximum incline-with your eyes closed – and still maintain balance and control! When you first take your first spins on the Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro, and stop, you will notice a slight dizziness.This is called nystagmus. It is your eyes moving quickly from side to side. Wait for this to clear and resume spinning. If there is an increase in nystagmus, or a long recovery period, nausea, increased heart rate, breaks out in a cold sweat, decrease the number of spins, lower the incline and continue at a slower rate. Continue to spin daily, 1-2 times a day, five (5) spins in each direction until the nystagmus disappears. I suggest oscillating back and forth in each direction to get use to the disc. Learn to shift your weight from one foot to another and control the speed and rate of spin. Recommended:Wear a rubber sole shoe, such as a tennis shoe for more stability when using the Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro.
FINING TUNING & TUNING UP YOUR VESTIBULAR SENSING SYSTEM
Most of us don’t realize how ‘out of balance’ we are. Or that we depend on our vision to keep us upright. Because we are not aware of what our bodies do to stay balanced. We just know that if we lose our balance, we fall over. Our balance is controlled by our vestibular sensing system, a wondrous and complex mechanism in our inner ear made up of tiny fluid-filled receptors that detect movement. Even the slightest shift in our position – real or imagined- alerts the tiny hairs in the system, which instantly sends a signal to our brain, which in turn, commands the appropriate muscles to react to ‘steady’ us. It’s one of the wonders of the human body. When it’s not working right, neither are we.
THE BENEFITS AND REWARDS OF USING THE BILLY BOARD® Revolution CORE Pro
It is good to know that we can ‘tune-up’ our vestibular system in much the same way we can tune-in our ear to music…and actually improve our sense of balance. Many yoga postures, tai chi and aikido movements improve balance. As does riding a bicycle, skiing, surfing, ice & roller blading, as does ‘walking the rails’ on train tracks! And… so does regular practice on your Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro. The more you use it, the more you will ‘finetune’ and ‘tune-up’ your vestibular system! The Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro is fun and easy to use just about anywhere: in your office, along on a trip (it is very portable), even out on the deck, at the beach or at the ski slopes. It can go anywhere! The Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro is great for the ‘aging’ population, as balance is one of the many things we begin to lose as we grow older. The Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro can be use by anyone willing to spend the time, having fun spinning, and the result is a better sense of balance. Whenever you take a spin on your Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro, it is the right turn to a well-balanced life!
THE AMAZING VESTIBULAR SYSTEM
Our brain constanly monitors the positions of our head and body by means of the vestibular system. This illustration shows the labyrinth – a group of three semicircular canals in the vestibular system-each at right angles to the other two. Whenever we move our head-to nod it, shake it, or tilt it- one or more of these canals detects the movement and relays the information to the brain. The brain coordinates this information with other signals from our kinesthetic system (our motor system), and causes our body to do whatever is necessary to stay in balance. The Billy Board® Revolution CORE Pro Balance Training System ‘fine-tunes’ the vestibular system and helps us maintain a well-balanced life and a better quality of life.
