ENCYCLOPEDIA OF USES
PERFORMANCE ANXIETY
Stress can be like a backstage manager constantly whispering doubts and worries in your ear before a big performance. As the spotlight approaches, these whispers grow louder, making your heart race and your palms sweaty, turning those pre-performance jitters into a full-blown performance anxiety, as if your inner critic has taken center stage, ready to critique your every move. This can manifest as shaky hands, a quivering voice, and a blank mind, hindering one's ability to perform at their best. Use BLAST® to reduce stress and stay in the zone for your performance.
BLAST® Intervenes
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST® (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology.BLAST® is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress.The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).
Change Occurs
When using BLAST® consistently to manage aggressive behavior, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of BLAST®. One of the ways BLAST® works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of BLAST®, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can cause aggressive behavior.
Measurable Impact
Excess levels of cortisol may be released as your body’s response to stress that may result in agitation and irritability. A triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints™ stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress. (Leal-Junior, E. C., Casalechi, H. L., Machado, C. dos, Serin, A., Hageman, N. S., & Johnson, D. S., 2019) View our full Stress Study.
"With my job, I often give big presentations to prospective clients. In the morning, while I practice running through the deck, I put my Touchpoints on the sleeves of my shirt to calm my nerves. They really have helped my focus and performance."
