Adults &
Aging
Physical,
balance and cognitive decline are three of the most important
challenges that naturally accompany aging. One of the
main reasons people over the age of 60 visit a doctor is
because of a balance related issue. In the case of
mental and physiological sharpness as we age, there is
mounting evidence that supports the wisdom of the cliche "use
it or lose it"!
Current
research has confirmed that our brains maintain "plasticity"
as we age, meaning that neural network development does not
remain fixed and that, in fact, you can teach "old dogs" new
tricks. If you could do something for as little as 15 minutes,
twice each day, to reduce or delay or the onset of balance and
cognitive decline, would you? Even more enticing to
older clients is the idea that you are never too old to
increase the brain's processing power and the real prospect of improving the quality of
life even as we mature beyond the family-raising
years.
The
powerful Learning Breakthrough Program™ has been used for
decades by developmental optometrists, among others, to treat
stroke and traumatic brain injury patients. The brain
changing aspects of the simple and fun program activities will
improve your balance, dexterity, memory, comprehension and
other cognitive functioning.
Consider the
Learning Breakthrough Program™ as "brain fitness" or "brain
weight lifting" which is exactly what it is. There are many
things experts say we can do to improve the quality of our
daily living as we age. Genetics, environmental influences and
other "unknowns" all have an impact as to how we age. If
you keep your brain processing as strong as possible, you
improve your chances of having a better quality of life as
time goes on.
Many
injuries occur as we age that are a direct result of falls and
other balance related difficulties. On the surface, the
Learning Breakthrough Program™ is balance remediation training
program that that acts on a foundational level to improve balance (vestibular sense). The activities, when combined with the
program's integral balance challenge, also improve the way we
control our bodies and their position in space which helps
with sports performance and other levels of physical
functioning that tend to decline as we
age.
Keep up
with physical conditioning like aerobic, walking,
strengthening and stretching. Add balance and sensory
integration stimulation with the Learning Breakthrough
Program™ and you will have enhanced your chances of aging
gracefully and productively.
