Poor balance your No. 1 issue? Don't miss this FPN webinar!

Did you notice the emphasis on brain Neuroplasticity 🙂. I thought it was a really interesting and informative webinar. I did take a couple of screenshots for a few of the slides but am interested in looking at the apps they mentioned for training the visual and brain to help with balance.

I was note-taking furiously as I watched. I know I missed a lot. I'm looking forward to the posting of the recording so I use my pause button. I, too, am looking forward to learning more about the various apps. The webinar's emphasis on neuroplasticity proved to be a bit of a coincidence for me as I just finished reading Nicholas Carr's "The Shallows" in which Carr writes extensively about neuroplasticity.

In the seminar, they mentioned "texturized insoles" as helpful due to a lot of pressure points, but my search reveals a lot of different types. Does anyone know anything about what they are actually recommending? (I have left a question in the comment section of the video, but no response yet)

@allessio77 I think they were referring to insoles that are the same or similar to this one - https://www.amazon.com/Sensory-Textured-Stimulate-Neuropathy-Fasciitis/dp/B07B4GYRD8, at least that's what it looked like when I saw the slide.

The webinar is now on their YouTube channel if you missed it.
Regain your balance: Therapy and exercise for neuropathy patients

I've always purchased my neuro insoles, recovery socks, etc., from Naboso (https://www.naboso.com/collections/proprioceptive-insoles/products/neuro-insoles). I've no idea how prices compare, but I've always been pleased with Naboso's customer service.

@ray666 Do you find them helpful? Fairly pricey at $70!

I agree: pricey at $70. I have never found the insoles to be as helpful as the recovery socks, but that's because, with my feet in socks, it's asking a lot for insoles to provide a full, positive effect: insoles (in shoes) –> through socks –> to have an effect on the bottoms of my feet. I get more out of my recovery socks, wearing them for about an hour/day but without shoes. The recovery socks are also pricey ($60), if I remember correctly.

@johnbishop I have used those insoles since november last year and the socks. They are a game changer for me. I have also watched. Few of the founders video and purchased the naboso ball and stick to treat leg cramps and arms.

I have been seeing a physical therapist that has taught me exercises to do that relaxes the muscles that helps the nerves. He uses MYK technique and also identified I had weak hips. . I have had therapy at several clinics nobody had treated me with these exercises. YOU must keep doing the exercises at home, they arent hard because if you don’t, you loose very thing that takes weeks to build. I missed 6 weeks due to my husband was in the hospital and I had to start all over.

You might find a therapist near you that can you
Overview

MyoKinesthetic (MYK) System, a form of manual therapy that targets the nervous system to correct posture and muscle imbalances that cause pain. This technique involves assessing postural asymmetries, identifying the underlying nerve root dysfunction, and using a combination of massage and active and passive movements to rebalance the nervous system and restore function. It is used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal and other conditions, including chronic pain, sports injuries, and dysautonomia.
How it works
Assessment: A therapist performs a detailed analysis of your posture to identify compensations and imbalances.
Nerve root identification: Based on the assessment, the therapist identifies the specific nerve root level that is the root cause of the postural issues.
Treatment: The therapist treats the muscles along the identified nerve root bilaterally, using a combination of techniques:
Manual pressure: The therapist massages the muscles along the nerve root.
Passive movement: The therapist moves your joints while massaging the muscles.
Active movement: The therapist continues to massage the muscles while you move the joint yourself.
Retesting: The therapist retests posture and function to measure changes after the treatment.
Potential benefits
Relief from chronic pain
Improved posture and function
Faster results compared to some traditional methods
Can treat a wide range of conditions, from musculoskeletal issues to organ dysfunction
