Re: smr at CZ training for balance and sleep in the elderly

[Guest guest]

Spenser, I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I have restless leg syndrome for several years. A while back there was some discussion on the biofeedback list, it was shared that many people with RLS have too much beta or high beta at C4. I went and checked mine and sure enough...my C4 was a 'hot spot". I get a lot of relief training that down. Also, 2500 mg of Malic Acid plus 800 mg of magnesium citrate may help. Some folks only get relief by talking a very low dose of one of the anti-Parkinson drugs.

I would guess the balance problem might be more of a temporal or parietal issue, but his TLC assessment or Q should reflect that.

Good Luck,

Spencer asked about restless leg and balance problems in an elder and NF

approaches...

In addition to Pete's good advice....

Consider adding Hatha Yoga with balancing poses 2x a day for increased

strength, flexibility, tolerance of uneven ground and environments, improved

oxygenation and improved sensorimotor function. What medis is he on that

deplete or suppress morot nerve and balance awareness?

Encourage walking if the patient is mobile enough or tai chi/ fully body

movement. Dancing (ballroom type) is great for regaining balance and

flexibility . Increase oils such as sesame, walnut, and olive oil in the

diet. Increase nutrition through soups, stews to improve absorption of

nutrients...especially including marrow, vegetables, and adding carminative

spices such as black pepper, coriander, etc.

EEG readout is simply facet of the functioning state, there is much more

than this to achieving tissue strength and integrity.

Just anecdotally, I found balance to be greatly improved by training

T5-T6 at 13-16.

Why did you choose this placement and amplitudes to increase?

At the recommendation of my boss - Dr. ce Hirshberg, at the

NeuroDevelopment Center - http://www.neurodevelopmentcenter.com and I

believe he found something in the literature to suggest this placement.

I used to get severe vertigo, with days or weeks of dizziness and

vomiting, preceeded by a day or two of pre-vertigo " aura " . Not only

have I been able to avert the onset of vertigo from aura stage with

this training, I've not had the aura since the second time I trained at

this placement/frequency.

Best,

I have a client with not only severe balance issues but extreme sleepiness. She needs excessive sleep day and night. Her neurologist says she has multiple system atropy. Any thoughts on how this placement or another could help her with the sleepiness also?

Well, my first thought would be to do SMR training on the strip -

trying to correct regulatory stuff by training sleep spindles. But

this is just a guess, and I'd be very curious to see an assessment.

One thing to consider is that you don't need to " solve " both problems

with one placement.

Just My $.02,
