Today we are going to focus on MOTOR FUNCTION of your HANDS.
Now, some of you may be wondering why you should work your hands.
Some of you may be saying YES, my hands don’t work so well so teach me coach!
Neurologically speaking, your hands are SUPER FULL of nerve endings so practicing moving them well can improve sensory and motor function in those areas.
With this, inside your brain, the areas that activate your visual system (eyes) are RIGHT NEXT to the areas that activate your hands.
SO… by improving hand function, you improve visual function, WHICH IMPROVES BALANCE, POSTURE, AND WALKING GAIT.
What?... Yup, everything is connected Gymmer.
