Proprioceptive therapy and balance exercises teach your body to control the position of a deficient or an injured joint. A quality proprioception and balance system is important in everyday life and particularly in sport.
How it works
Proprioception includes balance, coordination and agility because the body’s proprioceptors control all these factors.
Variety of exercises applied in this therapy include: balance exercises, which help teach your body and brain to control the position of a deficient or an injured joint, as well as the strengthening exercises.
Interdisciplinary approach
There’s a fine line between proprioception and kinesthetic awareness. Kinesthetic awareness is a conscious effort to react to the situation, while proprioception is an unconscious or subconscious process. The two mechanisms work together to allow a smooth, efficient, and safe platform for movement and athletic performance. An increasing number of injury prevention programs now include proprioception activities.
