Proprioception & Chair Exercises
💪Proprioception is your body’s ability to sense where your body and limbs are in space without having to look at them.
✅It helps with balance and stability
💃🏻Proprioceptive information from muscles, joints and tendons helps the brain know how the body is positioned, supporting posture, balance and safe movement.
✅Chair exercises provide sensory feedback.
🏃♂️Pressing the feet into the floor, shifting weight, reaching, pushing and pulling through the arms and moving the legs all give the brain valuable information about body position and movement.
✅It supports coordination and body awareness
🏃♂️Repeated movements such as marching, heel/toe movements, reaching across the body and changing position help the brain map and coordinate movement more effectively.
✅It can contribute to safer everyday movement
🕺Improving body awareness and control can help with movements such as getting up from a chair, walking, turning, reaching and negotiating changes in position.
