- Could it be that your accuracy, balance, coordination, and pain have something to do with how well your brain is working? This video may provide a little insight into that topic. Based on the work of Dr. Eric Cobb and Z Health. The exercises in this channel are produced as a means of assisting people with exercise guidance, selection, and execution.

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.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am comforted by the fact that anything I have shared here has been of help to you and others. Thank you also for spreading the word. Here is to your continued recovery!
I wish you would do more 🙏
This maybe explains why activities like learning to play an instrument are good for the brain.
This helps ADHD and dyslexia too.
hey.,.are you sure that it helps with adhd? (im an adhd teen)
@@rehenakhatun8936 Why don't you try it? No harm in doing so.
Am a living testimony that this helps with ADHD
@@rehenakhatun8936 Yes it does there has been a study for it
@@rehenakhatun8936 I don't know how recent this discovery is but there is a big connection between a healthy cerebellum and the lowering of adhd symptoms. This has been agreed upon by some of the world's foremost authorities on adhd. Personally I heard it from Dr. Edward (Ned) Halloway.
My right side was quite a bit weaker and was so different I got scared....doing that exercise helped immediately... amazing
yeah. its fun to feel the cerebellum working. its like the brain has different co-processor and suddenly the cerebellum processor is working at full speed
Thank you very much Sir!!
This is fascinating!!!!
I agree. Thank you for watching.
Rocky, thanks for that. I'll certainly be doing those exercises every day, they are brilliant.
Immediate improvement!! Thank you!
Thank You so much..
I have mal de debarquement syndrome for the last four and a half years from a 6 hour plane ride. I am swaying, bouncing and rocking 24/7 since the plane ride and have been to all of the treatments which are few for a rare neurological disease. Any brain training would be great. I just found your video.
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
Very excited for you Danny. Glad to help.
Thank you so much for posting this
My pleasure!
amazing video
AMAZING!
thanks!
Thanks
Thank u. So much info. In a short visit. Will be listening for you. They say. I have ataxia ( cel) I have learned more in this instance that a whole year of going to a dr. Keep sharing.
Thank you for the kind words Debra. I will do my best to share more information and insight. Best wishes.
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.
i didn't expect the testing exercise to get so messy so soon
Interesting! It shows you how fast you fatigue. Though over time you can build up your endurance.
Gratitude!
Thank you.
Great
Thank you, doctor!
thank you for this video, it was interesting to see my left side I had trouble with. If the figure 8 exercises are done daily, how long does it usually take to retrain the brain?
Glad you found it interesting. The results vary from one person to the next. What we have found is consistency is the key to more long lasting results. Thank you.
@@RockySnyder thank you. Can I ask is this something I will need to do for the rest of my life, or just to retrain my brain and then i'm fine?
I’m going to try this as I suffer from dyspraxia, if this helps it’s a winner!
Did it help?
I will try it and I will share my experience
Can you please share your experience?
Liar:D
How many times we have to make the figure 8 .. in a single set.....
Means can i continue to make figure 8 with my left hand for continously 2-3 minutes.... Thats nearly 50 reps
Ive had progressive cerrebellum damage and this is not a good test...heel to toe check of vistibular works much better
Let’s say I did number 8s and now my pronation/supination with the hand is better. Does that translate into improvements in the areas of balance, coordination, and precision when it comes to real life movements like walking, standing, running etc?
What you have just done is stimulated the cerebellum. The cerebellum is responsible for accuracy, balance, and coordination. So it stands to reason that all those areas would see some improvement. I have witnessed it with my clients. Curious to see if you experience improvement too.
@@RockySnyder I haven't done the exercises yet, but thank you for the explanation, it makes sense. Even if I'm not training for anything that directly translates into practical skills, I am challenging my cerebellum, and that should lead to better performance overall.
@RockySnyder I would like to get in touch with you. I have a 5 year old son that struggles with ADHD. Can I contact you about being a possible client.
Rock out Rocky
are the chunky wooden thingies on the right side the old school Persian weights?
They are Indian clubs. I do have Persian Meels but they are not in the frame. Fun tools for sure.
Very helpful sir, my left side is quite weak.
I am happy to hear you found it useful. It is always a treat to bring awareness.
Good stuff
Who’d you study with?
Thank you. I have been studying over the years with Dr. Eric Cobb of Z Health Education Systems.
Does the chiropractor really help?
It all depends on the chiropractor. Just like any other discipline, you can find brilliant professionals at the top of their craft, and you can find the bottom of the barrel. Chiropractic medicine is founded in science, and in qualified hands, can be life changing for many.
Does whether you are right or left handed affect this test?
It is always a possibility but not a golden rule. There are many factors that could affect cerebellar function. Being dominant on one side is just one potential factor.
So I just do the figure 8 repetition daily ? I thought the cerebellum needed new patterns wouldn’t doing it daily be there same pattern
Figure 8's are simply an example of novel movements. You can trace letters, numbers, shapes, etc. You can also try using your foot or leg instead of your hand. Then try using both hand and foot. For more complexity try going in opposite directions with your hand and foot.
@@RockySnyder ok , so a new movement everyday or like a new movement every week ?
@@lyrically1005 I would change the movement whenever it becomes easy. This could mean daily or weekly depending on the type of movement you choose and your ability to improve. It will vary from one person to the next.
Hello, I have a question. How do you know that one hand is less coordinated because it’s not your dominant hand? My left hand was worse, but I’m right handed. Thank you!
I would not be surprised if that was the case in your situation. However I do not think that is the golden rule. Many elements come in to play when it comes to motor neurology.
You could attempt the same style of cerebellar assessment by assessing each foot’s tapping ability. Which foot taps faster and with more rhythm? Please don’t tell me you write your feet too.
@@RockySnyder Oh ok cool, thanks!
@@RockySnyder Well yeah I do consider my right foot to be dominant but I will try it with feet too, thank you!
My right hand side is not as dexterous and fast because I'm left handed!
Understandable. Yet, all the more reason to practice with your right.
I have kind of the same control and speed with both. So what's next?
You can make drills more challenging by using your feet in an ellyptical pattern, then trying using the same side hand and foot in opposing directions. There are many other neuro drills to excite areas of the brain. I suggest you look into Z Health Education and tell them I sent you. Good luck.
@@RockySnyder ok my balance seem pretty balanced 👌
My left side is weaker but isnt that becuase im right handed?
Many elements could be involved but you could be right. If you use one side more, could that create a higher level of stimulation? Quite possibly, but it is not guaranteed.
Is this good for ms?
It could be good for those with MS though I don't believe it helps with the myelin sheath.
You sound like alan resnick
what if its both hands? I have central vestibular disorder
You may want to perform novel movements close to the midline of your body to stimulate the central cerebellum. You may want to also assess and reassess to see if using one hand (or foot) provides the best result.
@@RockySnyder thank you so much for getting back to me. Can you explain what you mean by midline LOL not well-versed in the lingo. This particular disorder has ruined my life I can barely stand up for just a few minutes at a time. Well I've been watching your videos and they seem very informative. I was told I need to try to do Balance Therapy it's just I'm a bad case. Do you have a little bit of a explanation that I might understand if not I understand I appreciate maybe I'll just research what you said
@@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/).
@@RockySnyder Really appreciate that you're responding to questions and comments here, in addition to the work you're doing.
@@thundergirl6518 I don't have CVD but I have a rare genetic connective tissue disorder and subsequent severe injuries that I've worked myself back to basic physical functioning, from being completely bedridden for years. It's using very similar approaches to what Mr Snyder uses and teaches. I'm no doctor so I speak layperson, and would be happy to "translate" if any of the terminology is overwhelming - I know how even simple things can just be too much or require too much energy to engage with. Wishing you all the best in your journey, this stuff is hard.
the left side got very tired and now my arm feels cold. interesting, now what?
Very interesting indeed. I would recommend getting advice from a qualified chiropractor in your area. Treatment and diagnosis is outside my scope of practice. Please let us know the results if you do not mind sharing.
Why only on the side you are worse with? I mean, training the other side of the cerebellum is not bad, is it?
You could perform the movement on both sides of course. The goal is to create a balance between the hemispheres.
That I understood. But will also training the stronger side prevent that from happening? Since it is the stronger one to begin with, it will probably learn faster.
@@schwarzerritter5724 I have not noticed any adverse effects by addressing both sides. However I have noticed more positive outcomes by stimulating the more inhibited side. This is why it is important to assess and then reassess. Everyone is different and there is not a one size fits all approach.
this gentleman sounds a bit like Chris Hansen from Dateline on NBC
Lol i messed up both
My cerebellum broke. Adhd here.
What do you mean
is this helping you with adhd¿
@@tinaalam4624 There is a direct connection from the cerebellum (where 70% of the neurons of your brain reside) to the frontal lobe, the area of the brain most affected by ADHD. There is promising research, according to ADHD specialist Dr. Hallowell, that doing exercises that strengthen the cerebellum help a lot with the symptoms of ADHD. He mentioned balancing exercises developed by Wynford Dore called Zing exercises specifically in a video I watched recently.
this excercise makes an odd sound
Ok i couldnt do it with my hands.
You can also try tapping your foot quickly against the floor and compare the difference between left & right.
My focus is on your hands. You have big hands.
It's not that my hands are big, it's that my body has not caught up to them. I probably should be six feet tall.
@@RockySnyder regardless, your hands seems amazing. I'm sure it comes so very "handy" at times. Lol
Why you don't show instead of speaking lots??
Than you very much !!!
