Brain Health Exercises

Your brain is your body’s command center—shaping how you think, feel, move, and connect. When your brain is healthy and well-supported, everything flows more easily: your memory sharpens, focus improves, emotions balance, and your body feels more in sync. Brain health is not just about avoiding disease—it's about thriving in every stage of life.

At Brain Health D.C., we believe brain health is for everyone—from young children with learning differences, to adults facing brain fog or burnout, to athletes seeking peak performance, to seniors who want to protect their memory and independence. Whether you’re recovering from a concussion, managing a neurodevelopmental disorder, or simply want to optimize your mental clarity, you have the power to change your brain.

And it’s never too late—or too early—to begin.

As a board-certified chiropractic neurologist with deep expertise in Functional Neurology, Functional Medicine, and Neuro-Rehabilitation, Dr. Nisreen Tayebjee has helped patients across the globe rewire, recharge, and rediscover what their brains are capable of. Her approach is gentle, science-backed, and always personalized—designed to activate your brain’s natural ability to adapt, heal, and grow.

Dr. Nisreen’s Functional Approach to Brain Training

Rooted in Functional Neurology

Functional Neurology is the art and science of understanding how your brain and nervous system are functioning—not just whether there’s disease present. Through a deep and detailed evaluation, Dr. Nisreen uncovers subtle imbalances, sensory-motor dysfunctions, and neural communication gaps that could be affecting how you think, move, and feel.

This allows us to see why certain symptoms are showing up and how we can help your brain rewire in healthier, more efficient ways.

Multisensory & Neuro-Rehabilitative Therapies

Brain health isn’t just about thinking skills—it’s also about how your brain interprets vision, balance, sound, movement, and rhythm. That’s why our training programs integrate:

  • Visual and ocular therapy
  • Vestibular and balance training
  • Sensory-motor coordination
  • Rhythm and timing exercises
  • Breathing and mindfulness strategies

We combine these elements to gently challenge the brain in a way that builds new, stronger neural pathways—helping you feel more focused, calm, and connected.

Respecting Your Bio-Individuality

Dr. Nisreen takes the time to truly listen and learn your story. Every brain, every journey, every healing timeline is different. Whether you're a child with sensory overload, a teen struggling with anxiety, or an adult healing from a concussion—your care plan is uniquely yours.

Real-Time Brain Performance Tracking

We use cutting-edge neuro-assessments to track your brain’s performance throughout your care. Tools like Right Eye, Btracks, and BrainTap HRV allow us to see how your brain is adapting and progressing in real time. These insights help us fine-tune your program and celebrate your wins along the way.

You’re not just doing exercises—you’re building a better brain, one connection at a time.

Core Categories of Brain Health Exercises

Cognitive & Memory Exercises

These exercises strengthen the “thinking” part of your brain—improving how you process, store, and recall information.

  • Working Memory Games
    Build short-term memory and enhance your brain’s ability to hold and manipulate information. These are especially helpful for kids with attention struggles or adults experiencing brain fog.
  • Pattern Recognition
    Strengthens critical thinking, sequencing, and visual processing skills—key for academic success and daily functioning.
  • Language and Math Processing Tasks
    Improve how the brain deciphers language, numbers, and problem-solving. Great for children with learning challenges or adults who want to sharpen cognitive performance.

Sensory Integration & Motor Coordination

Your brain doesn’t just think—it senses, moves, and reacts. These exercises enhance how your brain receives and processes information from your environment, supporting calmness, balance, and better control over movement.

  • Balance & Vestibular Training
    Using advanced tools like Btracks Balance Testing and Senaptec Sensory Station, we help improve posture, stability, and spatial awareness—especially important for those with dizziness, POTS, anxiety, or developmental delays.
  • Eye Tracking & Visual Processing
    Through Right Eye assessments and Fit Lights visual drills, we train your brain to better coordinate vision and movement. This supports focus, reading comprehension, and even athletic performance.

Focus & Attention Training

If your mind feels scattered, distracted, or easily overwhelmed, you’re not alone—and there are ways to retrain your focus. At our center near Del Mar, we use evidence-based tools that help regulate your attention system and enhance mental clarity.

  • Neurofeedback (NeuroOptimal®)
    A gentle, non-invasive way to train your brain to become more efficient and calm. It uses real-time feedback to guide your brain into more optimal patterns, supporting better focus, emotional balance, and sleep.
  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Training
    We teach practical mindfulness strategies that improve sustained attention, reduce racing thoughts, and strengthen emotional control—particularly helpful for anxiety, ADHD, and high-stress individuals.
  • HRV-Based Breathing Exercises
    Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a powerful marker of nervous system health. Using HRV biofeedback and breathing techniques, we help train your brain and body to shift from stress to calm—on command.

Emotional Regulation & Stress Reduction

Your emotional health is deeply connected to your brain’s function. When the brain feels safe, connected, and regulated, the body can heal, and life feels more manageable. These exercises help you build resilience from within.

  • BrainTap Guided Meditation A cutting-edge tool that combines light, sound, and guided meditation to calm the nervous system, balance brainwaves, and enhance emotional well-being. It’s like a reset button for your brain.
  • Breathing Work & Vagus Nerve Stimulation
    Specific breathing patterns can stimulate the vagus nerve, which is key to calming the nervous system, improving digestion, and supporting emotional regulation. We guide you through these exercises for daily use.
  • Biofeedback Tools & Movement-Based Therapies
    Using real-time data, we show you how your body responds to stress—and how to shift into a healing state. Combined with movement and postural training, this helps anchor emotional calm in the body and brain.

Reaction Time & Athletic Brain Performance

Whether you're an athlete on the field or simply want to move through life with more precision and confidence, training the athletic brain is a game-changer. Our innovative BRAINS Sport Program is designed to enhance how quickly and effectively your brain and body work together.

  • BRAINS Sport Program
    A targeted program that develops key brain performance areas:
    • Balance
    • Reaction time
    • Accuracy
    • Imagination
    • NeNdurance
    • Speed
  • Real-Time Drills with Technology Integration
    We use elite tools like Senaptec Sensory Station, Motion Guidance, and Fit Lights to challenge your brain's ability to react, track, and adapt in real time. These drills are not only performance-enhancing—they’re also fun and engaging for all ages.
