| So where do the muscle strengthening exercises come in? | ||||
| They don‘t. If the muscles are used in a proper relaxed way they work fine. Most of the exercises which are supposed to strengthen the muscles directly actually add to the strain and weaken them. Where these are mentioned together with the Bates Method they have been added on by other people who have misunderstood what Dr Bates was talking about. It is possible to use sequences of eye movements to help detect and overcome strain, but this needs to be done very sensitively and is best supervised by a teacher. | ||||
