Our vestibular system acts as a CPU processor for our brain and is responsible for coordinating and relaying vital information to our brain from the following sensory inputs:
- Inner ear
- Eyes
- Muscles and joints
- Jaw
- Fingertips and palms of hands
- Facial muscles
- Pressers on the soles of our feet
- Gravity receptors
Working as our sensory processor, the vestibular system also helps regulate the following:
- Blood pressure
- Heart rate
- Breathing
- Digestion
- Elimination
- Speech ability
- Muscle tone
- Position of limbs
- Attention and arousal
- Immune system response
Scientific research validates that inefficiencies in the vestibular system can cause:
- Academic problems
- Speech problems
- Anxiety and stress
- Panic attacks
- Self-stimulating behaviors
- Poor muscle tone
- Bathroom issues
- Behavioral issues
