"Will results from NeurOptimal® sessions last?" This is a question that clients ask a lot. NeurOptimal® is a brain training technology, so it's a learning process for the brain.
Think of it like learning to ride a bike. Once you know how to ride a bike, you always know how to ride a bike. At first you might feel unsteady on your bike but the more you practice the easier it gets and the better you get at riding. Then, if you don't ride your bike for a period of time, when you get on it again, it may feel wonky for a bit but the learning you did quickly comes back and you soon feel confident again.
It's the same with the brain. Once a new pathway is built, it's built. If we use the pathway often it strengthens; if we don't use it, the path may weaken but it never disappears. Our brains can get thrown off with chemicals, an injury, increased stress and so on and then may need some re-balancing to strengthen the track again. Some clients, when they notice that symptoms are starting to increase, come in for one or two tune-up sessions and are then back on track.
Keeping the brain fit is an ongoing process. Once the brain has become more fit with NeurOptimal® sessions, clients then find that they can also use many other options, like yoga, meditation, mindfulness, exercise, etc to maintain their level of brain fitness.
