This one of my favorite parts of a training. BAVX uses repetitive, rhythmic patterns using sandbags and racquetballs to regulate your nervous system, improve eye tracking, balance, hand eye coordination, improve sustained focus and attention, promotes cooperation, improves self esteem, and is tons of FUN for ages 3 to 103. Our next two-day training is January 17/18. Option to just attend Day 1. For details, visit https://www.purposeful-movement.com/schedule.

My son Oscar and I had the JOY and honor to teach an amazing group of OTs and COTAs the rhythmic, repetitive, fun program called Bal-A-Vis-X (BALance, AUDitory, VISion exercises) for two days over the weekend. So much laughter and learning; I love thinking about all the lives they are going to change with their new knowledge!
