This is the language of the nervous system and I explain how to put the words together in my new book, "ABCs of Balance: Aging, Brains and Coordination. A brain-based approach to the prevention of falls".

The nervous system has three functions; input, interpretation and output. Balance is an output. If you want better balance, it's only logical that you need to train the inputs. You cannot jump straight to the end product without addressing the first two steps.
Dr. Rose of FallProof™ introduced me to three sensory inputs and how to train them for improved balance and mobility. She offered basic vision, vestibular and proprioceptive approaches to reduce falls. Dr. Cobb of Z-Health taught me how to train these three systems from the brain's perspective and the results are life changing.
The better the visual inputs the better one's balance. The better the vestibular inputs, the better the one's balance. The better the sensory receptor input, the better one's balance will be. Unfortunately, traditional fall prevention programs only focus on outputs.
If you want better balance, you have to train the vision, vestibular and proprioceptive inputs and the brain's interpretation of them.
I explain all of this in my new book, "ABC's of Balance: Aging, Brains and Coordination". If you want to know why your balance is getting worse as you age and what you can do about it, this is a must read. Everything begins in the brain. Brain training is the future of fitness.
