Feel Better. Sleep Better. Move Better. Look Better.
Kinesthetic awareness – body sense, also know as proprioception awareness (body and mind communication). It is the brain’s ability to sense the relative positions and movements of the different body parts. Because of proprioception, you know exactly where your hand is in space as you move it around, even though your eyes are closed.
All coordinated movement depends on proprioception. When proprioception is compromised, say from a neurological disease or drunkenness, seemingly simple activities like walking or even standing can become impossibly difficult. It should be obvious that elite level movement in sport or dance requires an elite level of body sense. For example, there is no way to land a back-flip onto a balance beam without knowing exactly what your body is doing at all times. Accurate body sense is also essential for feeling confident of your movement, feeling good in your body and even being able to work towards being free of pain.
Improving your proprioception is an excellent goal for anyone who wants to reduce pain or improve daily lifestyle and sports performance. In fact, any therapy and training method that can achieve either goal efficiently works primarily by improving proprioception. Ricardo does just that, he will use a combination of modalities based on ongoing assessments in order to maximize on your progression and overall wellness.
