How to Implement INTEGRATE: Multi-Sensory Integration Training Program
As frequently stated by neuro-optometrist and 360 Neuro Health faculty member, Dr. DeAnn Fitzgerald: It’s a brain thang!
Our nervous system controls everything we do. When it works well, you work well…your patients/clients work well. When there is dysfunction in the nervous system, however, there is typically dysfunction in the ability to carry out daily activities whether it’s daily chores, work demands, recreational activities, or sports. Dysfunction can occur from anything that disrupts our central or peripheral nervous system, and this includes our autonomic nervous system.
The good news: neuroplasticity!
Regardless of age, our brains are capable of change. Research has shown whether our aim is recovering from an event/illness that disrupts our nervous system or our goal is improving performance from a healthy state that exercise (physical and mental) enhances our brains.
