Description
These comprehensive movement sequences for the Balance Board, BOSU, and Rocker Reformer inform the somatosensory, visual, and vestibular senses. They are suitable for developing improved balance, proprioception, and vestibular function.
Session 1 (45 minutes) and Session 2 (49 minutes) provide detailed progressions on the Rocker Reformer appropriate for all levels of clients. The analogous sequences in Session 3 (39 minutes) using only the BOSU demonstrate that this easily accessible piece can substitute for some aspects of the Rocker Reformer. Session 4 (30 minutes) uses the Balance Board to continue detailed progress of balance and vestibular training effective for home practice. Augment your understanding of the vestibular system by reading the downloadable PDF packet and by studying the references provided at the end of the workshop.
Although this workshop provides the most comprehensive resource available on the Rocker Reformer, it also demonstrates that informed use of a BOSU or Balance Board can provide effective balance training and vestibular system improvement.

Featured Student Feedback
" I liked the workshop a lot. Not all have access to a rocker reformer, but it's good to know what it does. We can still use BOSU and balance board. But how the vestibular system is challenged by balance makes this a wonderful workshop... "
