Vestibular First

🧠👁️ Dizzy with neck motion? This cervical joint position sense training activity has the potential to improve the integration of sensory input from the neck, vestibular system, eyes, and brain. It may also help decrease sensitivity to self-motion.

🏮👷 Start with a headlamp laser (an affordable option is the Mustools 2026 New Rechargeable LED Laser Headlamp Physical Therapy on Amazon, or choose the more durable, multi-purpose version by Motion Guidance). Place a Post-it note with a single letter on the wall.

🎯🔼🔽 Turn your head in different directions, first with eyes open, following the instruction: “Keep your eyes focused on the laser.”

😆❤️ Close your eyes, turn your head, and try to return your head to the starting center position with the laser directly on the target. Repeat with different directions of head movement, different speeds of head movement, and with different ranges of motion.
