Most medical fitness professionals are familiar with the term proprioception, but do you know how to actively improve it? Although proprioception is a "global" sense, there can be areas in the brain's map of the body that are unclear or "foggy", resulting in less than optimal proprioceptive input. This can result in less coordination, reduced strength output, and limited range of motion.
This session will provide practitioners with a better understanding of proprioception and how to improve it through specific sensory input techniques and exercises.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the concept of proprioception and how it can be actively improved.
- Understand how sensory input improves proprioception and learn means to apply it for typical client presentations
- Learn how and why joint motor control improves proprioception and learn means to apply it for typical client presentations
