HeadX Exercise Programme

Explore targeted exercises designed to improve head control, balance, and postural stability using the HeadX Kross system. Each movement supports recovery from neck pain, concussion, or vestibular issues, with clear progression and precise feedback for use in clinic or at home.

Chapter A: Seated Foundations

This set of exercises helps control your neck muscles while sitting still. By making small, slow head movements in a seated position, you can improve how your neck muscles work together, reduce extra movement in your upper body, and get better at knowing when your head is straight. These exercises build the base for more advanced ones later.

Chapter B: Proprioceptive Accuracy & Repositioning

This group of exercises helps you improve your awareness of where your head is in space, especially when your eyes are closed. By practising movements and then trying to return to the centre without looking, you will strengthen the brain’s ability to sense and control your head position. This is important for people who have had concussions, whiplash, or balance problems, and for anyone who feels unsteady or unsure of their head position.

Chapter C - Functional Gaze and Head–Eye Coordination

This group integrates the visual and oculomotor systems. Tasks such as target sequencing, object pursuit and simultaneous reading require the cross-hair to track moving or complex patterns while eyes and limbs engage in purposeful activity. The goal is to restore smooth pursuit, saccadic accuracy and vestibulo-ocular reflex function, ensuring that gaze remains stable.

Chapter D - Standing Balance & Postural Integration

These exercises support progression from supported positions to standing tasks that challenge balance through the ankles, hips and trunk. By maintaining steady cross hair alignment during tandem stance, foam pad work or weight shifts, the individual develops head stability alongside full-body control. This promotes coordinated movement for safe and confident mobility in daily life.

Chapter E - Dual-Task Reactivity & Cognitive Load

This group integrates the visual and oculomotor systems. Tasks such as target sequencing, object pursuit and simultaneous reading require the cross-hair to track moving or complex patterns while eyes and limbs engage in purposeful activity. The goal is to restore smooth pursuit, saccadic accuracy and vestibulo-ocular reflex function, ensuring that gaze remains stable

Chapter F - Performance Reactivity and Power Control

These advanced exercises develop the ability to produce fast, coordinated actions under pressure while maintaining postural stability and visual control. By combining dynamic movement, gaze fixation and rapid decision-making, they enhance neuromuscular responsiveness, proprioceptive accuracy and cognitive resilience. Designed for high-performance contexts, this chapter prepares athletes to execute explosive, precise movements without loss of control or focus.

Chapter G - Sport Conditioning & Neurocognitive Precision

This chapter focuses on integrating high-level physical outputs with precise neuromotor control. Each task challenges the athlete to maintain visual alignment, postural integrity and spatial awareness during dynamic or complex movements. By coupling strength, agility and balance with gaze control and proprioceptive recalibration, these drills sharpen cognitive–motor fluency under performance conditions.
