Hi, I'm Bill from Beyond Fitness Online. Today I'm going to take you inside of a training session with my client Paula. Now Paula has recently broken her 5th metatarsal in her left foot, and the bone has healed almost all the way now, but there's still some pain there. How do we deal with that pain and start to be able to get to use that foot the right way again? Well, I'm going to show you here. What we're going to do is actually really incorporate the visual system. Now, I know from working with her in the past that certain things work well with her, like the color green. You'll see some green glasses. I also know that I need to upregulate one part of her cortex or one part of her brain and downregulate the other. And so there's some tape on these glasses, and what you're going to see here is pretty cool. So go ahead and check that out right here. So we're working with Paula with eliminating some of the pain in her foot, and we've done a bunch of other things. And I know from working with her that the color green is really helpful for her. And I also know that we need to upregulate this side of her brain and downregulate this side of her brain to help inhibit some of the pain in her left foot. So what I'm going to have you do first, Paula, is I'm just going to have you turn around, walk to your door and back. Okay. You can kind of see there's a little bit of a limp there, a little ginger on that foot. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much pain do you have in that foot right now when you walk? 3. Okay, so what we've done is we've taken these green glasses and we've taped on the left side of both lenses because that is going to help downregulate that right side of her brain. So just look around for a minute and kind of get a feel for what that looks like. All right, now I'm gonna have you turn around and walk to that door again in the back, and let's see how this looks. Much smoother, the limp is less. Scale of 1 to 10, how much pain? None. None, that's great. So by limiting some of the vision and changing the color that we see can also help to downregulate some pain. I hope you found that interesting.
