In my own ongoing brain injury recovery process I have found tremendous benefit in repetitive mirrored movements. Alternating identical movements on both sides of my body engages both sides of my brain, creating hope in my life.
One Skill and One Skill Set at a Time
What I do with the right side of my body (my dominant side) I then repeat with the left side of my body (my non-dominant side). Then by doing a bazillion repetitions by alternating movements on both sides of my body) has empowered me to accomplish things that I never dreamed possible.
My Encouragement to You
If you are able, I would encourage you to engage in repetitive mirrored movements by repeating the same movement. The same movement on both sides of your body. On your right and left sides of your body. Your dominant and your non-dominant side of your body. Your affected and non-affected sides of your body.
Start out slow and in the process of combining skills and skill sets together (over time) you will be able to accomplish things that you never dreamed possible.
