My dad was tough. Marines tough. Brigadier General tough. I remember playing him in tennis and he kicked my butt. As I was rising to the top of my basketball game, he beat me. No mercy. It made me cry! I don't know why but the fact that he played hard and beat me seemed unfair. At the time.I cried. I was hurt. After all, I was his daughter. I was only visiting him since my parent's divorce and I was a good athlete. Dad's are supposed to let their girl win. Or at least that's what I must have thought. But I'm here to tell you, he didn't give me any special treatment and it taught me that life isn't fair and you have to do the work if you want to benefit. It made me a better player. A full scholarship athlete. Thank you Dad.
You can't expect anyone to do the work for you. In this day and age, you have to be your own advocate. If you want better balance, you have got to put in work. It's up to you to seek education classes and workshops that explain aging, balance and coordination as you age.
If you have fallen down and you don't want to fall again, it's up to you find a balance class that gets you results. IN order to get results you have to face the frustrations, make the mistakes and re-learn how to move correctly.
As you teach your brain to move again, you will have the 'why won't you do what I'm telling you' conversation with your body parts. Your brain can forget how to move a body part if you don't move it regularly. Practice makes perfect and perfect practice gets results.
You can rewire your brain for better movement, better balance and less pain. The science of neuroplasticity proves it. I have invested to become a brain-based movement re-educator that focuses on brain activation for better movement, balance and vision. It works.....if you work it.
