I am providing my listeners with this picture so they can see how our bodies translate pain perception and perception of various stimuli from the environment. The picture shows how receptors in the skin detect the stimuli and in turn, send a message to the spinal cord, which sends a message to the brain, who interprets the stimuli. By better understanding this, they can imagine what it would be like to have a distorted interpretation of outside stimuli.

This picture provides the listener with an in-depth view of the vestibular system. By showing listeners this picture, I hope that they will be able to better understand how the vestibular system works and how our inner ears relay messages to the brain regarding our balance.

Even though this may appear to be a very simple collection of photos, by providing my listeners with this graphic, they will be able to understand that our bodies are constantly receiving information from the outside environment and constantly interpreting that information; whether it be from vision, hearing, smelling, touch, etc.

By showing my listeners the picture of a girl on a platform swing, I can show them how therapy works to strengthen the weak proprioceptive and vestibular systems. I can further explain how treatment with specific equipment works to further develop the weak systems now that they have a better understanding of the systems because of the previous pictures.
