Drill 6: #5 - #8 Blocks Lvl 1

Upward Blocks coupled with Downward Blocks

THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT

This movement integrates upper and lower body coordination, as the hand moves across the body in sync with a hip turn. By maintaining the hand below eye level without direct visual focus, it strengthens proprioception, enhancing awareness of hand positioning. This block also fosters hemispheric coordination, supporting body balance and spatial orientation through the combined movement of arms and core.
