Brain Exercises
Targeted movements that reconnect cerebellar pathways. Not generic brain games — specific exercises matched to your brain map.
If you only do one thing from this page:
Figure-of-eight for 2 minutes
Draw infinity symbols (∞) in the air with your affected side. 10 reps × 3 sets. Measurable brain changes documented within 5 days of targeted training. Clinical demo: 2 minutes → instant improvement in coordination tests.
Too foggy to read this page? Start here:
- • Complete the brain self-tests first to identify your affected side
- • Start with figure-of-eight at Level 1 (shoulder). Progress only when it feels easy.
- • If exercises cause symptoms: stop. Your brain needs fuel first.
Stop Signs — Do NOT Push Through
These are not signs you're "working hard." These are signs your brain is overloaded:
If any of these occur: STOP the exercise. Drop to a gentler level, reduce reps, or address brain fuel first.
The Exercises
Figure-of-Eight
PROTOCOL
Draw the infinity symbol (∞) in the air. SLOW. 10 reps × 3 sets. 2-3 minutes rest between sets.
6 Progression Levels
Level 1: Shoulder
Whole arm draws infinity symbol. Biggest, easiest movement.
Level 2: Elbow
Forearm only, elbow locked at 90°. Smaller, more precise.
Level 3: Wrist
Hand/wrist only, arm completely still. Fine motor control.
Level 4: Foot
Lying down, one foot traces infinity in air.
Level 5: Same Side
Hand + same-side foot together. Both draw infinity.
Level 6: Opposite
Hand + opposite foot. Hardest — cross-body coordination.
Side Selection
Exercise the side with the HIGHEST cerebellum score from your brain map. More ticks = more disconnection = more need for stimulation.
Verification: Retest your RAM score immediately after each session. If coordination improves → exercise is working. If no change or worsening → adjust dose or fix fuel first.

VOR Training (Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex)
PROTOCOL
Hold thumb at eye level. Lock eyes on thumb — do NOT let go. Turn head slowly toward affected cerebellum side ONLY. Return to center.
Technique
- → Eyes stay locked on thumb — never break focus
- → Head turns slowly toward the AFFECTED side only
- → Return to center, pause, repeat
- → Work at the angle where it feels hardest — that's where reconnection is needed
You make 40,000-50,000 eye movements daily. When your brain stem can't coordinate them, your head compensates. That compensation costs energy — and the energy bill shows up as 4pm brain fog.
Hall CD et al., J Neurol Phys Ther, 2004 — VOR rehabilitation evidence.
Vibration Therapy
PROTOCOL
Apply vibration device to sensory zones. Start with gentlest zones (feet, hands). Progress to stronger zones (chest, face) only when tolerated.
Sensory Zones (Gentlest → Strongest)
Side Selection
Apply to the AFFECTED cerebellum side, identified from your brain map.
Regterschot GRH et al., Front Aging Neurosci, 2014
Neuro-Stacking (Advanced)
Combining multiple exercises simultaneously for amplified neuroplasticity. Only after 5-15 days of single-exercise tolerance.
EXAMPLES
- • Figure-of-eight + vibration on same side
- • VOR training + vibration
- • Photobiomodulation during exercises
Start at 50% of individual exercise dose. Monitor stop signs more carefully.
Katrina case: tried teeth brushing + figure-of-eight + calf raises simultaneously → brain overload, heaviness. Menopause and seniors especially vulnerable.
"Think of your brain like a building. Concussion, inflammation, and chronic illness loosen the foundation. When the foundation is unstable, the upper floors — thinking, memory, emotions — all wobble."
Your cerebellum is that foundation. It contains 80% of all brain neurons. It coordinates not just movement but cognition, emotions, and autonomic function. These exercises target it directly. Not generic "brain training." Specific rehabilitation for your specific disconnection.
