Balance and Cross Crawl

"If you are notoriously uncooridnated, you might be able to blame it on the lack of 'creeping and crawling' you did as an infant. Many parents innocently enter their children into a 'whose baby can walk first ' contest. Unfortunately, if you were entered into this contest, you may have been short-changed in the exercise of crawling. This is unfortunate because crawling is a wonderful practice that encourages brain development and coordiation."

--Dr. Bruce West, Health Alert, Vol. 2, No 7 (1985)

Are you having problems with your balance?  Most of us take good balance for granted. But balance problems are quite common and can range from nuisances to serious as in the falls of the elderly.

The five most common causes for balance problems are:

1. prescription drugs
2. neuropathy
3. poor vision
4. inactivity/weak muscles
5. inner ear problems

Work with your doctor regarding possible drug interactions that may be resulting in your dizziness.

There are specific exercises for strengthening the major causes. Bosu balance training and cross-crawl exercises are two ways for improving balance.

Chiropractic and nutrition response testing can be very effective with helping neuropathy and inner ear dysfunction.

Combining good eye and ear health with specific exercises can result in stonger balance and put your stumbling to an end. With enhancing your instinctive cross-crawl mechanism you can feel 20 years younger!
