Late last year, coded three times been on life-support for 3 weeks. Had to learn to walk, talk, chew, swallow, write, sing well again, etc. all our tremendous amount of work with specialists. One of the reasons I still can't walk without a walker but yes, I have finally gotten out of a wheelchair, is my cerebellum. It's playing tricks. Rocky, your videos have made such a difference and me and I've only been watching them for 10 days. They've helped other people that I know, that I see at the neurologist office or that I meet in life. Thank you. I need more help with balance and also some speech problems. Swallowing is still giving me difficulty so I'll start with a speech therapist. Thank you for your wisdom and sharing it with us. 🌼🌼🌼 Folks, if you enjoy his videos, make sure that you watch them all the way to the end, only then will you too bad them to their algorithm so that his channel is promoted. Also, remember to hit the LIKE button it really helps channels grow.

Haven't finished the video yet, but I keep thinking that because I'm left handed, naturally the left side is more accurate? Is the irrelevant? My right side completely falls apart very quickly.

As someone who has regained mobility for myself after a severe spinal injury, as well as recovering functionality after 2 separate TBIs, (as well as navigating health with a rare connective tissue disorder) I feel quite informed (for a layperson) on functions and nuances of the brain, nervous system, and body. This video just rocked my world - it makes such practical sense! And is so readily available and testable. Thank you, you've just given me a whole new playpen :D

@@thundergirl6518 The midline refers to the imaginary line that runs down the front of your body and separates left from right. When movement is performed close to the midline it tends to stimulate the middle of the cerebellum. When movement is performed away from the midline it tends to stimulate more lateral (out toward the sides) areas of the cerebellum, particularly the side that is performing the motion. Also, in order to keep the excitement in the cerebellum it is important that the movements change every few repetitions and remain novel (new). You can change the tempo, direction, path of motion, body part, etc. I hope this helps. You may want to look for someone in your area who specializes in neurology chiropractic or someone who is an experienced Z Health practitioner (zhealtheducation.com/find-a-trainer/).
