Our treatment for Vestibular Disorganization is based on the
findings of Alfred A.Tomatis and the sensory
integration pioneer Jean Ayres. We utilize our understanding that
the ear is responsible for both hearing
and balance. By
treating the ear through Vestibular
training,
we are affecting the ear's function of balance. This sense of
balance
is essential if you, for example, are to differentiate between the
inner and the
outer, between the self and the other, between the "me" and the golf
ball.
To hit a
golf ball you need to know where your body ends and the outer world
begins. Or to put it another way, you need to know where your toes end
and where the golf ball
begins. Soon you will see some improvement from our Vestibular
Integration and realize that you have discovered the body of a more
competent athlete!
This is actually the first step in your spiritual
awakening and about all you need to be "successful" in the dog eat dog world of competitive
sports. Of course, we
will try to take you beyond that
phase into higher realms of maturity and self actualization, where you
will play sports just for the joy of it.
At this time you, as a functioning adult, lie
somewhere
on the coordination
continuum
between, say, the extremely impaired, and the professional sports
player.
To improve your abilities on this continuum, we must treat the higher
order
processing abilities and executive functions. These include laterality
and interhemispheric communication, motor planning and praxis, and
visual
as well as auditory processing abilities. All this is within the rubric
of a strong vestibular integration bias in our therapy. The Vestibular
Integration
program builds upon your gains made during the Tomatis listening
training
and applies them toward your advancement at higher skill levels.
We then employ therapeutic techniques as means
to
treat your Vestibular disorganization and bring about an
improvement in
the integrative functions of your body, and mind...
Other
treatment techniques are utilized as a means to break the
feedback
loop of Vestibular Disorganization. Like a good coach, we must monitor
your treatment and set you straight when you wander off the proper
path. That is why you must be with us at our facility to have us work
with you. This is a
customized treatment.
You will find that our
treatment for Vestibular Disorganization
should make you a better golfer, and a better organized human being.
