In this short instructional video, the presenter outlines a concise set of three to four vestibular‑visual drills designed to alleviate pain during resistance training. The drills are meant to be incorporated either into a warm‑up routine or directly into the main exercise. A concrete example is given: using a visual target that moves up and down while performing a squat, slowing the movement to synchronize eye movement with the vestibular system, thereby providing targeted vestibular stimulation that can help reduce discomfort while lifting.

So we're going to go through a list of 3 or 4 exercises. We're going to find some that make you feel a little bit better. We can incorporate those into your warmup before you exercise. We can also sometimes incorporate these drills into actual exercises. So for example, if we're finding that up and down works for you, we may have a visual target when we do a squat. And now we're still moving up and down, we're going at a slower rate. By using the eyes and the vestibular system together while we move up and down, we're now still stimulating that part of the vestibular system in the appropriate way.
