Do your immune system a favor and spend more time in nature.

We are very happy to announce that Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is now part of what we offer at Brain Body Balance Sweden in Västerås.

DMI is a movement-based approach designed for children with motor delays and movement challenges, including children with Cerebral Palsy and other neurological or developmental conditions affecting posture, balance, strength, coordination and mobility.

The goal is not simply to move a child through an exercise. DMI creates opportunities for the child to actively respond to gravity, support and changes in position, encouraging greater participation in movement.

And who better to help us introduce our new DMI page than our little warrior Aveer 🙏

His family’s testimonial is now featured on our website, sharing their experience of his journey at Brain Body Balance and the changes they have observed as DMI has become part of his individual program.

This is another exciting step for us — and another tool we can integrate into our wider Brain Body Balance approach, according to each child’s individual needs.

🌍 Our new DMI Sweden webpage is now LIVE.

🐻 BJÖRN THE BEAR TRAINING WITH ELMER!

Meet Björn — our newest member of the Brain Body Balance team 😅

Today Björn is helping Elmer demonstrate some of his home exercises. Simple, playful inputs with an important purpose behind them. 🧠💪

🐻 1. Cross-Midline + Colour Coordination

Blue to blue. Red to red.

Using coloured markings on the hands and knees gives Elmer a clear visual target while he brings the opposite hand across the body toward the knee.

We’re combining:
🧠 Cross-midline movement
👀 Visual processing
🤝 Coordination
🎯 Body awareness & motor planning

🐻 2. Neck Flexion Against Gravity

With the head safely supported near the end of the bed, we encourage Elmer to actively bring his head forward into full neck flexion against gravity.

It may not always look pretty or easy — but the goal is quality activation, not lots of repetitions.

5 good repetitions can be enough.

Support your child as needed and keep the movement slow, gentle and controlled. A light upward rhythmic/vibration input can be used as a cue to encourage the movement — never forcing the neck.

Small exercises. Big foundations.
Keep going, Elmer! 🫶🏼🐻

The choice of song today just felt right. 🙏

Sometimes I feel there is a higher power helping me through these sessions — giving me the strength to keep going, and giving Ishika & Anagha the strength to work through all the exercises, movement and stimulation we challenge them with.

And this weekend… no tears. That alone is a WIN. 🙌

These girls have some of the most expressive eyes you will ever meet. When they are sad, it breaks my heart — but yesterday those eyes were full of happiness. Lots of smiles, fun and beautiful hand gestures.

Even more encouraging was hearing from their parents that their communication continues to develop, including new signs to communicate things like needing the toilet. Every new way of expressing themselves matters.

We celebrate these moments. We celebrate the small wins. And then we keep working. 💪

We will continue supporting these two little warriors, lifting them higher and higher, and helping them explore what their bodies are capable of.

Wishing you all a beautiful week.🙏

Hug a Tree. Reset Your Nervous System.

Every day, I give myself permission to go for a long walk, slow things down, reconnect with nature… and hug my tree. 🌳

Sometimes the simplest things can be the most powerful.

Find your tree. Find your space. Give yourself permission to have some time for YOU — outdoors, breathing, moving and reconnecting with nature, just as we were meant to. 🌿

Your nervous system might thank you 🙏

WHEN RESEARCH GIVES US REASON TO KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS 🧠🫧

Following on from my last post, this one deserves a post of its own.

In 2026, researchers at Southern Cross University, together with the Melbourne Integrative Oncology Group, announced an Australian-first clinical study investigating mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy during active treatment for high-grade glioma — an aggressive form of brain cancer.

And here’s what really caught my attention:

👉 Mild HBOT at 1.35 ATA.

The researchers are investigating whether oxygen delivered in a pressurised environment may help support:

• treatment effectiveness
• patient wellbeing
• treatment tolerance
• recovery

Why oxygen?

Solid tumours can contain areas of hypoxia — low oxygen. This matters because low-oxygen tumour environments can contribute to resistance to radiotherapy, while radiotherapy itself partly relies on oxygen-dependent mechanisms to damage cancer cells.

That’s why researchers are asking an important question:

Could improving oxygen availability have a supportive role alongside conventional cancer treatment?

This is research.
It is not proof that HBOT treats or cures cancer, and HBOT during active cancer treatment is not currently routine oncology care.

But research starts with questions.

And when families around the world are facing cancer every day, seeing researchers willing to investigate new supportive approaches gives us something incredibly important:

HOPE. 🙏
The research continues. 🧠🫧

A little ME TIME inside the chamber 🫧🧠

Today’s watch: a fascinating interview with Dr. Rainer Klement, a medical physicist and researcher in radiation oncology whose work explores cancer metabolism, nutrition, ketogenic approaches and hyperbaric oxygen.

The conversation covers everything from the Warburg effect and tumour metabolism to diet, lifestyle, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and mild HBOT.

What particularly caught my attention was hearing his perspective on mild hyperbaric therapy — and that he has personally chosen to have access to a chamber himself.

This subject also hits very close to home.

As I sit here watching and learning, my fourth uncle in the space of just two years is currently dying from cancer.

I’m not going to make personal comments or claims on this post. I’m simply sharing what other researchers and practitioners are exploring, questioning and doing.

Sometimes the most important thing we can do is keep learning, keep asking questions and keep the conversation open.

And there is reason to keep that hope alive. 🙏

In 2026, Australian researchers announced a clinical study investigating mild hyperbaric oxygen at 1.35 ATA alongside active treatment for high-grade glioma, looking at safety, treatment effectiveness, wellbeing, tolerance and recovery.

It doesn’t mean we have the answers. It means researchers are still asking important questions — and continuing to look for better ways to support people facing cancer.

More on this study in my next post.

🧠 Another cool exercise tip from Sofia!

It looks simple… but give it a try! 😅

One hand touches the nose, while the other touches the opposite shoulder — then switch sides and keep alternating.

What are we challenging?

🧠 Bilateral coordination — getting both sides of the body working together
🎯 Attention & concentration — staying with the changing pattern
🤸 Motor planning — organising the next movement
🛑 Motor inhibition — stopping the previous pattern before switching
⚡ Speed & adaptability — once you’ve mastered it slowly, gradually speed it up

Different movements between the two hands place greater demands on the nervous system than simply moving both hands in the same way, requiring coordinated motor planning and control. (ScienceDirect)

Sofia’s challenge: Start slowly. Once you’ve got it, see how fast you can switch without losing the pattern!

Simple movement. Big brain challenge. 🧠💪
