Understanding the Vestibular System and the Power of Bronson Balance Clinical Vestibular Spinners

Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions about the vestibular system and how Bronson Balance Clinical Vestibular Spinners can support transformative improvements in health, balance, development or recovery throughout every stage of life—from infancy through childhood, adulthood, and into the senior years.

What is the vestibular system?
Chevron down icon

The vestibular system is traditionally thought of as your body's primary balance and spatial orientation mechanism, located in the inner ear. It consists of two main components: the three semicircular canals (oriented in different planes to detect rotational movements of the head) and the otolith organs — the utricle and saccule (which sense linear acceleration, gravity, and head position relative to gravity). Together, these structures filled with fluid and sensory hair cells detect motion, changes in head position, and orientation, sending signals to the brain (and body) to help maintain equilibrium. The vestibular system works closely with vision, proprioception (body position sense), and the brain to coordinate balance, stabilize gaze during movement, and support posture. A healthy vestibular system is essential for everything from walking steadily to preventing falls, and disruptions can lead to dizziness, vertigo, or imbalance. As important as that is - that is just the beginning of the vestibular system to overall brain/body health.

What are Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners?
Chevron down icon

Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners are motorized devices that provide safe, controlled rotational movement for vestibular stimulation. Designed for clinical use, they are suitable for all ages, including infants, youth, adults, seniors, and those who are frail. Bronson Spinners set the standard for vestibular care.

Bronson Balance offers two clinical motorized spinner versions: 

  • The Bronson Balance Chair
  • The Bronson Balance Bar (standing or dynamic posture)
What conditions or types of patient can benefit most using Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners?
Chevron down icon

The vestibular system is well documented in medical research to have many SYSTEM benefits. A PubMed search for “vestibular system” will yield over 30,000 publications on a wide range of influences and benefits, as well as physical, mental/emotional, and autonomic challenges, when injured, down-regulated, or due to lack of use and other modern-day stressors.

  • Vestibular research is well published for decades:
  • Fetal, Infant, youth neuro-development
  • Brain optimization
  • Athletic performance
  • Concussion & TBI rehab
  • Neurodegenerative conditions
  • Chronic pain & instability
  • Balance & fall prevention
  • Autonomic dysregulation (stress, cardiovascular system, vagus nerve, parasympathetic/sympathetic balance, emotional and mood centers. 
  • Anti-aging & longevity care - start as soon as possible to maintain function YEARS superior to the average same age population. 
How long have Bronson motorized vestibular spinners been available?
Chevron down icon

Before the current clinical market versions, Bronson athlete motorized spinners and training methods have set the gold standard in athlete skill and vestibular training for over a decade. Thousands of units have been sold worldwide, and hundreds of coaches and facilities have used them to optimize the brain/body vestibular connection in skating sports and ballet alone. Gymnastics, cheer, dance, diving, and yoga will see much faster progress with safe, fun training for beginners, but the bar is set by world-class figure skaters for how far you can go in any sport and the vestibular human potential that requires advanced athleticism, superhuman spatial orientation, and fast information processing.

Has your training or rehab reached a plateau? Raising the ceiling of the neuro-synaptic array of the vestibular system allows the rest of the brain, and body to grow—in the classroom and in competition. Any sport that requires fast brain/body processing, hand-eye coordination, or spatial processing—including all combat sports, martial arts, racket sports like tennis and pickleball, and competitive shooting—can benefit. Spinning provides neurological and athletic benefits for skilled positions such as wide receiver, running back, soccer, lacrosse, and quarterback, and also improves overall performance recovery. Injuries will happen, and vestibular training is useful from sprained ankles to concussion rehab.  

Chiropractors, PTs, Neurology Diplomates, Functional Neurologists, and movement specialists know the benefits of vestibular system treatment for clients of all ages. The Bronson Chair and Balance Bar bring a practical, revolutionary clinical improvement to the masses by enabling new protocols and activations beyond the current standard. Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners are ideal for practical, safe, and effective clinical use.

What models are available in the Bronson Balance Clinical Vestibular Spinner line, and what are their key features?
Chevron down icon

Two versatile, clinic professional-grade models are offered:

Bronson Balance Chair Version:

  • Ideal for patients who are frail, neurologically impaired, or significantly injured, such as those with concussion, stroke, TBI, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer’s.
  • Offers safe, controlled seated spinning designed for those with limited mobility.
  • Supports dynamic rehab and exercises, such as resistance bands, head weighting, grip training, weighted shoulder exercises, and neurological brain games (on a tablet or phone).
  • Perfect for targeted rehabilitation in patients who cannot stand safely or require extra caution with vestibular activation, even at very slow speeds.

Bronson Balance Bar Version:
A standing model for dynamic balance training and improving movement patterns.

  • Accommodates various body positions and integrates with clinical tools such as resistance bands, balls, head-weighting devices, and more. Enables simple, very effective protocols for standard new clients, as well as a wide range of spinning and functional movement activities, to challenge coordination and stability for progressive patients.  
  • Both models support extensive exercise variations and easy integration of Erchonia laser before, during, in between sets or after, helping clinicians enhance brain-body integration and achieve superior patient outcomes.
How much space is required?
Chevron down icon

Very little. Both chair and bar versions fit easily in a small rehab area, treatment room, or performance corner. They have a small footprint and don’t disrupt clinic layout. The diameter of the standing version is just under 24 inches and the chair version with the extended foot rest requires a minimum 4 foot area. Additional space for getting on and off as well as room for the supervising clinician or professional instructor is needed.

How much does the spinner weigh?
Chevron down icon

The motorized spinner for the chair and balance bar version packaging and spinner contents weighs just at 70 lbs. The motor base by itself is appx 60 lbs. The chair comes separately and some assembly required.

What is the maximum weight limit of the client?
Chevron down icon

300 lb individual is maximum weight for either the chair or balance bar version of the spinner.

What is the warranty?
Chevron down icon

There is a 2-year warranty on our clinical motorized spinners, including repairs, parts, and labor. The screen is also free to replace during the warranty period.

How do Bronson Balance Clinical Vestibular Spinners fit into clinical practice?
Chevron down icon

The vestibular system plays a critical role in balance, spatial orientation, gaze stability, and overall brain-body integration across the lifespan—from fetal development to aging. Common clinical applications include:

  • Pre- or post-treatment priming: Many clinicians use spinning before chiropractic adjustments or functional neurology sessions to "prime" the nervous system, during or afterward to reinforce neurological integration and enhance treatment outcomes. Clinician preference determines. Any of the time variations implementing “spinning” will provide vestibular benefits. 
  • Rehabilitation and balance training: These spinners are effective as a standalone tool but easily integrate into any professional licensure and neuro enhancement protocols. They support targeted therapy for conditions like concussion, stroke, TBI, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and general imbalance by promoting neuroplasticity, improved coordination, and stability.
  • Integration with other modalities: Pairs effectively with Erchonia Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). Short spinning sessions can "upregulate" brain-body systems, while longer durations help generate neural drive, enhance nerve function, and support neuroplastic changes.
  • Versatile for all patient levels: The Chair Version accommodates frail or limited-mobility patients, while the Bar Version enables dynamic standing exercises. By delivering consistent level of safe intensity vestibular input, these spinners help clinicians enhance brain-body connectivity, accelerate rehabilitation, and improve patient results in a practical, time-efficient manner.

#1 What is the flow of your current clinic?

Successful clinics use different business models and appointment times. Bronson Spinners adapt easily to both insurance- and cash-based clinics, so clinic decision makers can fit them to their goals. Training videos will not cover insurance billing or legal differences, as these must be determined by your clinic's professionals.

#2 Patient tolerance

Each client starts from their unique place. Clinics attract patients of different ages and needs. For example, a clinic in a ski town or one serving a busy, middle-aged, and senior tennis club will see a different type of aging client compared to what some might call "average America." However, the goal of identifying and improving a baseline vestibular capacity is consistent regardless of all the possible variables. Achieving a baseline level of health is possible for all, similar to functional medicine standards for vitamin D, hormone levels, body composition, grip strength, or gait speed, etc. Many clinicians and clients may be surprised by how poor vestibular function can be at the initial assessment, regardless of age. The good news is that improvement is possible for everyone with consistent, appropriate training. Most common conditions seen by clinicians can benefit from vestibular improvement, and Bronson Balance Clinical Vestibular Spinners offer practical, safe, and enhanced outcomes over current standards. Begin conservatively, adjusting speed and duration based on patient tolerance and starting with basic posture, either sitting or standing. Clinicians will often discover just how limited vestibular function is at any age. It’s important not to let neurologically weaker clients have a negative experience during their first sessions. Additional videos will explain with demonstration a safe, practical progression of speed, duration, and intensity.

Here is a recent share from a retired very active 72 year old client who purchased the Bronson Balance Bar for personal home use. who prior to buying was aware his balance was far behind his strength and other physical health capabilities.  

“My balancing on one leg at a time has gone from around 10 seconds to 1 minute in 3 days using twice a day 👍

Comment from Dr Jerome - This is a lifetime health dedicated person and a previous all time world record holder in a strength competition when he was age 48. He knows how to train at an elite level and has maintained very good physical fitness and strength. Yet his vestibular starting point was well behind all his other efforts and current metrics. This will be a common example of why I am so excited to bring Bronson Clinical Spinners into the Brain/Body FIT® System and the clinical and personal opportunity with the thousands of great clinicians we have served over the years and the clients they serve. 

How may Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners be used in an exam?
Chevron down icon

I cannot recommend BTrackS™ enough for accurate, computerized, reproducible and affordable balance exam methods. Click on the link to learn more https://www.performancepractic.com/balance-tracking-system-btracks-tm  

Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners can be used alongside standard function, balance, and fall risk assessments. Motorized spinners may also be used for symptom surveys, whether or not muscle testing is performed or a skilled functional neurologist is present.

Bronson Balance Chair first-time use for the patient

Initial introduction before exam method – Before the client sits in the chair, start the spinner at a slow speed in both directions. Then, stop the spinner and have the patient sit.

Initial sensory pre-exam experience for the patient – Restart the spinner with the client seated in a standard position at a slow speed that likely will not cause any sensory effect. After every half or full turn, gently increase the speed until the patient has a pleasant response (such as a smile or giggle), and maintain this comfortable response for 1–2 spins. Then, stop and spin in the other direction.

NOTE: When starting, regardless of age, health status, or injury, asymmetries are common. One direction may be tolerated at faster speeds without dizziness or discomfort. The initial session can serve as an assessment to identify which direction is weaker and to establish baseline speed and duration for both directions. If an asymmetry is found, some clinicians use the weaker side's speed in both directions (and add 1 or 2 extra sets) to help the weak side improve. This approach is effective, though other professionals choose to spin equal repetitions and sets in both directions at appropriate speeds, which also leads to progress. The choice is the health professional's preference.

During follow-up appointments, once right and left asymmetries are similar, increase speed, duration, and progressive activation. It is common to see improvement in a single session when performing multiple sets with brief rest periods (15–30 seconds) before repeating. At first, 2–3 sets in each direction (including warm-up) may be sufficient during initial sessions. As patients require less explanation and their nervous system adapts, speed, set duration, and overall spinning can all increase within the same appointment time.

If you are a clinician who does not perform muscle testing or a functional neurology expert, here are some recommended diagnostics to help with data collection during spinner use. The symptomatic physiological responses below are an accurate way to provide specific safe vestibular thresholds for sympathetic/parasympathetic responses and to support continued progressive neurological challenges and neuroplastic improvements, without being an unpleasant experience for the client.

The Slight dizziness, to patient tolerance or “some butterflies in the stomach,” is a sign of activating the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system benefits, but any level of feeling ANY level of nausea, a few seconds after stopping, and then completely resolves, is unnecessary.

A light sweat is common and is also an autonomic response indicating thresholds of the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system progression triggered by the vestibular stimulation.

Heart rate monitor - The vestibular system profoundly affects the autonomic system, including the cardiovascular system. Heart rate variables can be measured accurately spinning right/left, and accurate data can be measured. Wireless finger pulse oximeters work great. Convenient for examiner and client, sanitary, etc, and can measure right and left hand variations, as many clinicians already perform prior to offering spinners. There are also many other wearables that patients already have, such as chest straps, rings, and watches. Do not make this complicated, but when the clinician is comfortable, these HRV monitors are a great reminder of when vestibular function improves and how relaxed the body becomes compared to previous levels of autonomic stress response.

Computerized “brain games” on a tablet or cell phone are plentiful and a great additional neuro-multitasking option for any age client while spinning in the chair, with performance scores for speed and duration variables for the same game and level. These are sold directly to consumers, and some are sold exclusively to clinicians who assess cognitive neuroplasticity, typically while the patient is seated or standing. Using additional active vestibular firing with motorized Bronson spinners, combined with the same cognitive brain game, provides a greatly enhanced benefit and can be scored for clinical data.

For clinicians who are skilled in AK muscle testing, Muscle Response Testing, Neuro-diplomate indicators (or all of the mentioned). Neuro exams or Upregulation exam or corrections

When starting out, the health professional may choose just one or two rotations in a single direction and at a specific recorded speed, stop, and AK/Muscle Response Testing, a variety of myotomes, and/or monitor neuro indicators as you would from the functional Neurology programs.

“Upregulation” using Erchonia laser, adjustment, Chapman reflexes, meridian point treatment, etc., and then perform and test the opposite direction. This 1 or 2 revolutions at a set speed, then stop to examine or provide an upregulation correction, can be continued right/left through a series of standard myotome tests or muscle response testing with the head in different positions, eye variations, etc. The increase in rotational speed option is also useful for some clinicians to examine whether a similar challenge at a specific rotation speed is negative, but the exact same challenge at a recorded faster speed triggers a positive neurological reflex indicator or weakening of a previously strong muscle.

Clinical rehab/exercise duration -

We want clinics to measure and deliver clear progress—progress that clients can also feel. A standard goal of Brain/Body FIT® and Bronson Balance Systems is vestibular and overall improvements that cannot be achieved solely through overly gentle clinical care and standard-level rehab. While spa-level intensity treatments may relax the nervous system, they do not create the neuroplasticity and neural drive regenerative benefits needed to return to full function after injury or degenerative conditions caused by inactivity. Ineffective outcomes from clinics that do not use these safe, effective Bronson Balance spinners can lead new patients to clinicians who offer the Bronson Balance Clinical Vestibular Spinner. Combining Bronson Spinners with other tools—such as the Erchonia laser, VibePlate, Brain/Body FIT® clinical exercise adjuncts, and similar services—is always beneficial.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The symptomatic or objective measurable indicators described in the exam section are commonly used during routine corrective visits. Mild dizziness, sweating, brain game scores, heart rate monitoring during activity, or “butterflies in the stomach” are all signs of activating the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous systems.

For athlete-level improvement, “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” This applies to the clinic at intensity levels the individual clinician is comfortable with. However, any mild nausea—even if it resolves quickly—is unnecessary for effective treatment. The brain and body adapt best to low-to-moderate intensity, and neurological challenges will still support progress. We are not seeking overly gentle spa treatment intensity, nor are we promoting “no pain, no gain” intensity and duration. Clients typically hold each posture and direction for 10–15 seconds at a manageable pace, gradually progressing to 1–2 minutes per direction with minimal rest in a 10–15-minute session. Initially, some may complete only one warm-up and one additional spin, right and left, with longer breaks. This progressive approach is standard for the general public and integrates easily into busy clinic schedules without disrupting workflow or requiring extra staff.

Anti-aging prevention and proactive progress at any age—there are endless ways to use different body positions and integrative tools while spinning. For progression with the Bronson Balance Bar, start by holding the bar with both hands at a suitable speed and perform: standing in place with both feet. Progress to marching in place, and standing on one leg. Repeat these movements with one eye closed, different head positions, tracking a fixed object on the wall, extending an arm forward to track the thumb, performing finger-to-nose in a cross-crawl pattern, or any combination of these, along with your own creative variations in the order of your choice.

In time, we want clients to become more dynamic, such as holding on to the balance bar and doing bodyweight squats, staying in a deep-seated squat position with both feet stable, performing “one-legged levers,” and performing a deep-seated squat position, known as a pistol squat position, for multiple revolutions or in an up and down repetitive method.

Now, do all of the above without using the balance bar. The human body is more than capable of doing all of the above with a dedicated client and trained health professional at any age, even near the end of life. This may not be common, but male and female humans are capable of rewriting every limitation put on them by past opinions of clinical “experts.” Performance coaches have never lowered the ceiling on what can be achieved, and human outcomes for men and women have rewritten every standard and record previously known. Motorized spinners for clinical use should have this same impact.

Video training is available for free, and more comprehensive content is offered through a subscription to PerformancePracticTV.

When does the vestibular system begin developing in humans, and why is it so crucial from the earliest stages?
Chevron down icon

The vestibular system, our body's inner balance and orientation powerhouse, begins to form remarkably early in human development—right from the dawn of life in the womb. Around 2-3 weeks post-conception, the neural tube begins to shape the nervous system, but the vestibular apparatus takes center stage by 3-4 weeks, with the appearance of foundational structures such as the otic placode. By 8-10 weeks, its core components—the semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule—are largely complete, outpacing other senses such as vision and hearing.

This early development isn't by chance; it's a testament to the vestibular system's role as a sensory scaffold. In the amniotic fluid, the vestibular system provides vital input on gravity, motion, and orientation, guiding the fetus's growth. These signals help wire neural pathways in the brain, refine motor reflexes for future posture and coordination, and even regulate visceral functions such as heart rate and digestion through vestibular-autonomic connections. A well-functioning vestibular system in utero builds resilience, enhances musculoskeletal growth, spatial awareness, and adaptive behaviors, setting the stage for a healthy birth and beyond. Disruptions can lead to developmental delays, but nurturing and training expecting mothers (appropriate speed spinning for pregnant mothers makes sense for the developing fetus and the mom) and maintaining early support for newborns fosters robust physical, neurological, cognitive, and emotional foundations. Mother/father coddling in a rocking chair with a newborn, rocking cribs have been used for hundreds of years, and are beneficial, healthy habits today.

Natural health pediatric experts, including pediatric chiropractors, have an exciting option with Bronson Balance Clinical Vestibular Spinners—they offer gentle stimulation that can indirectly benefit expectant mothers and their developing fetuses through maternal movement and balance optimization. Imagine giving your child a head start on neurological development and lifelong vitality!

How does the vestibular system influence a fetus's development, and what long-term effects does it have on becoming a healthy, intelligent adult?
Chevron down icon

During pregnancy, the vestibular system — the inner ear's remarkable balance and motion detector develops very early and plays a key role in shaping the fetus's brain and body. The mother's everyday movements; walking, turning, bending, or even breathing, provide constant, gentle vestibular stimulation through changes in position, acceleration, and gravity. This natural "training" sends signals to the fetal brain, helping to:

  • Guide the wiring of neural connections (building stronger pathways in the brain)
  • Support the development of motor skills and coordination
  • Shape primitive reflexes that the baby will use after birth (like the Moro or righting reflexes)
  • Promote proper musculoskeletal alignment and muscle tone
  • Integrate with other systems, including the autonomic nervous system, which helps regulate heart rate, digestion, breathing, and stress responses

In short, the fetus experiences a rich sensory environment of motion in the womb — far more varied than what premature babies get in a still incubator. This early vestibular input acts like a foundation builder, strengthening brain architecture and preparing the baby for life outside.

A healthy, active vestibular system in utero supports smoother adaptation to birth (including the intense movements of labor) and helps with early milestones like head control, rolling, and eventually sitting and walking. Research shows that reduced prenatal vestibular input (e.g., from maternal bed rest or prematurity) can affect motor and sensory development, highlighting just how important these "womb workouts" really are. In essence, the vestibular system serves as an early master coordinator, using gravity and motion cues to lay the groundwork for resilience, balance, and overall development.

The ripple effects extend far into adulthood. A strong vestibular start translates to better postural control, coordination, and spatial intelligence in infancy and childhood—think easier and neurologically organized crawling, walking, even reading skills, emotional maturity, executive thinking, etc. As we age, it further supports emotional regulation, focus, and adaptability, contributing to sharper cognition and overall intelligence. Research shows that early vestibular nurturing correlates with reduced risks of developmental delays, enhanced learning abilities, and even better stress management in adults.

For mothers, using tools like Bronson Balance Clinical Vestibular Spinners during pregnancy, early breast feeding and pre-self mobility of the infant may enhance maternal balance and well-being, supporting development. Professionals like chiropractors and natural health practitioners love incorporating these spinners into prenatal care, as they provide controlled, therapeutic stimulation that aligns with the body's natural "use it or lose it" principle—ensuring both mother and child thrive toward a healthier, more intelligent future.

How does the vestibular system impact adults and seniors, and why does it follow a "use it or lose it" principle?
Chevron down icon

The vestibular system plays a quiet but constant role throughout adulthood. It stabilizes posture, coordinates movement, supports basic spatial awareness, and supplies the brain with information used for attention and navigation during everyday activities—working, driving, running errands, raising a family, or doing light exercise 3-5 times per week. At this low level of demand, the system functions adequately, but it is largely unchallenged. This underuse leads to vestibular, neuro-motor and autonomic nervous system decline compared to what the vestibular system is capable of at any age. Most adult lifestyles are not enough to maintain a healthy, adaptive, and regenerative neuroplastic state.

Early movement matters for infants, youth and young adulthood. Individuals who grew up with limited physical and vestibular challenge often enter adulthood with lower overall neuromotor, autonomic and limbic capacity. This can contribute to downstream outcomes such as low muscle mass, excess weight, anxiety, depression, low self esteem and reduced motivation. In contrast, children and adolescents who regularly engage in well-coached vestibular-rich activities consistently demonstrate higher physical capacity, resilience, healthy self image, mental acuity and long-term participation in movement-based lifestyles. When reduced movement is combined with poor nutrition, the effects on health compound—and cannot be replaced by taking a drug.

The good news is neuromotor and vestibular improvement is possible at any age. Establishing a consistent, accessible stimulus is key. For individuals who lack exercise experience or struggle with consistency, controlled motorized spinning provides meaningful vestibular activation at a tolerable starting level, with a high ceiling for progression. As vestibular function improves, people often notice that daily tasks feel easier, stress responses decrease, and motivation increases. From there, transitions to better nutrition and more open, skilled movement environments become more achievable.

When vestibular function declines, the effects are wide-ranging: impaired autonomic regulation, dizziness, falls, reduced mobility, low confidence, and loss of independence. In older adults especially, vestibular health is closely linked to staying active, socially engaged, and injury-free.

The vestibular system is a clear example of the “use it or lose it” principle. Research and clinical experience consistently show that reduced movement weakens vestibular signaling, balance, and coordination, accelerating many conditions associated with aging. While activities such as dance, floor-based exercise, or mobility training are effective, they are often impractical in clinical settings and inconsistently prescribed. Community programs such as Silver Sneakers help, but if the series of chair exercises was performed in the Bronson Balance Chair model a significant vestibular improvement would be achieved. And many would then be able to apply the Balance Bar use in a standing posture and gravity toes to brain activation. 

Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners offer a practical solution. They allow controlled, repeatable stimulation that can be scaled to the individual and measured using standard clinical outcomes. Used in clinics or at home, they help bridge the gap between inactivity and meaningful vestibular training. For middle-aged, senior, and frail individuals, this approach shifts vestibular care away from athletic performance and toward preserving capability—supporting stability, confidence, independence, autonomic and vagal activation and quality of life as people age.

Do I need special certification or neurology training to use Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners?
Chevron down icon

No special certification or neurology training is required to use Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners. Still, the user must stay within their professional scope of practice, as with any device that has clinical or sports performance benefits. The Bronson Balance system is designed to be intuitive, safe, and accessible for clinicians and coaches of many disciplines. Vestibular training is rooted in well-established principles of clinical neurological brain/body impacts and clinical rehabilitation. A wide variety of vestibular training is supported by extensive published medical research demonstrating meaningful benefits across a lifetime range of age, populations, applications, and clinical uses, as identified and applied by licensed doctorate-level natural health professionals (DC/ND/L.A.c/Rolfer) and allopathic doctors (MD/DO/PT).

At the same time, all users (clinicians and coaches) must operate within their legally defined scope of practice.

Coaches, trainers, movement professionals, obstacle course and competition tactical shooters can purchase directly from PerformancePractic.com and integrate Bronson Balance Vestibular Spinners (Athlete, Chair or Balance Bar versions) into performance, fitness, wellness, and sport-training programs, with a focus on improving balance, coordination, movement quality, hand/eye coordination and overall sport performance—not on diagnosing or treating medical conditions or corrections. Only licensed practitioners may make claims or advertise clinical or therapeutic value. This is consistent with state and national regulations and similar to how coaches may guide nutrition or mobility/function for performance purposes without crossing into medical treatment.

Strength and fitness professionals, sport-performance coaches, and active home users alike can find significant value in incorporating Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners into their programs.

Can spinners be used with Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)?
Chevron down icon

Yes. Many clinics combine Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners with Erchonia LLLT to enhance up-regulation, deliver therapeutic laser doses, promote neuromodulation, accelerate neuroplastic regeneration, and improve clinical outcomes. Erchonia offers seminars with experts who teach a wide range of exam and treatment methods—successful on their own but even more effective when integrated with spinning. Erchonia-trained clinicians are excellent examples of those who can optimize Bronson Balance Chair or Bar spinners using their existing education and practice methods. While Bronson Balance Vestibular Clinical Spinners may be new to many skilled clinicians, the concept of influencing the vestibular system is well established.

Are patients receptive to vestibular spinning?
Chevron down icon

Very. Whether you use PubMed vestibular research publications specific to patient inquiry, or the functional exam indicators mentioned earlier in this FAQ section spinning not only Patients often describe sessions as engaging, calming, and confidence-building. Many feel noticeable improvements after their first session, which increases enthusiasm and compliance.

Can this help differentiate my practice?
