BACKGROUND: A male business executive came in to enhance performance. His goal was to improve health, make faster decisions and improve endurance, as well as, to adapt to work situations faster.
METHODS: An intensive, functional neurological examination was performed which included functional vestibular integration, reflexogenic integration and baseline testing. Baseline testing included computerized assessment of dynamic posturography (CAPS), video ocular graphing (VOG), video head impulse testing (vHIT), blind-spot mapping and subjective visual vertical (SVV). Repeated bedside testing to assess progress was performed with UPDRS scaling for finger tapping, ocular motor integration and gait assessment. Intensive program included reducing neuro-limbic integration, central integration of tonic otolithic input, vestibular reintegration positioning techniques, orthogonal gaze re-mapping, repetitive peripheral somatosensory stimulation, vagal nerve integration (Gamma-Core), peri-personal space integration, low level laser reflexive integration. Intensive program was performed over eight treatments sessions including baseline testing.
RESULTS: Reduction in perceived stress, ability to think better, as well as, faster, see the whole picture better, visual field was brighter in color and clarity, his ability to walk easier and lighter. His blood pressure became more equalized and reduced.
CONCLUSION: Brain-based therapy can have a significant improvement in ability to perform. Performance enhancement can be at any level this includes high performing executives. The authors suggest further research into enhancing performance at any level.
