Sara, this is a great post! And as there has been posts about the fact that left-handed people aren’t “creative”……I beg to differ. My niece and daughter are both left-handed and they are such free spirits and are very artistic! I would love to attend one of these workshops, but we’ll be out of the country for a bit. Hopefully we can catch you next time!

Thanks for your comment! I’d have to look at you, but let’s make a scenario
If the cricket ball hit you on the left side of your head at the back and messed up your left cerebellum and left vestibular system. The vestibular system job is to control posture and to keep you upright, it controls extensors on its own side, but it also has an effect on opposite side knee, I’ve noticed this by working with knee issues.
So left vestibular, right knee.
Also the left vestibular system feeds into the left cerebellum.

Left cerebellum feeds to RIGHT cortex, right cortex sets tone on right and controls muscles via the reticulo-spinal tract, and controls voluntary movement on left. So a dodgy left vestibular / left CB will result in a reduction in firing to R mid brain and R cortex. So there will be stability issues on the right which will affect the R knee, R low back and R hip / R Sij.

If the cricket ball hit you in the face head on then it could have affected your mid brain / mesenchephalon. This will effect convergence, eye , movements, hips and shoulders, gait and body maps. So this can result in a whole host of movement issues

This sounds very interesting, I play semi professional hockey and I’m studying. I’ve got good, body awareness, yet I keep getting right hip and right knee pain and I’m sure it’s something neurological. I got concussion from a hockey ball about a yr ago, and this hip thing started about 3 months after.
