Vestibular stimulation is the when the nerve that maintains balance receives input. This can be in the form of bouncing, swinging, rocking, swimming, rolling, etc. And spinning.
I haven't been able to spin since I was in my early 20's. But Angela? Now this girl likes to spin. Axel likes to spin too, but not the same way Angela does. I knew Angela was a spinner, but I didn't realize just how much her vestibular system needs this kind of input!
If you are not as spinner, this may be difficult for you to watch. (I can barely watch it myself!) What is interesting to me is Angela carries on a conversation while she's spinning, even though she should be out of breath and ...you know...dizzy!!! I don't have video of it, but after spinning for nearly 10 minutes she stands up and walks away like she hadn't just been spinning! Oh, and she changed her name to Cody. ;-) about 3/4 through the video she gets going *really* fast.
(this is not wood floor she's on. It's a mat, so don't worry about her hands!)
