Trevor Watson, DPT, CBIS on Instagram: "🧠 Fun drill to try that works on… ✅ Balance ✅ Dual tasking ✅ Environmental awareness ✅ Encourages stability of the upper trunk (decrease lateral leaning or excessive rotation) It also improves concentration and decreases distractibility. Blocks view of feet to help improve proprioceptive awareness! ➡️ From a functional standpoint, this also helps prep for carrying plate of food or other objects safely.
