Proprioception Exercises - Pain Free Physiotherapy

Proprioception Exercises Proprioception is the sense of joint that signals the brain where the body part is in space. It is managed subconsciously so it’s difficult for a person to understand the

concept.

The Proprioception is usually hampered when a joint is injured, such as with ligament sprains.

A common example of a proprioceptive or balance exercise is the use of a wobble board

in cases of an ankle sprain. The slight to and fro movement of wobble board in response to body weight produces unpredicted movement to which the body quickly reacts without having to think about these movements helping regain the proprioceptive senses.

It is this natural balance and proprioceptive reactions to a wobbly movement that attempts to retrain the balance consciously which later are transmitted to the subconscious state.

Quality subconscious proprioception and balance system is important in everyday life and particularly in sport.

Proprioception exercises are designed to improve the proprioception feedback circle.

The brain sends signals to either contract or relaxes the muscles. The joints movement response is detected by the sensory nervous system and reported back to the brain for fine-tuning and improvement with

repetition of the process.

In other words, practicing a movement several times will eventually mean proprioception perfection. The injuries to the shoulder, elbow, hip,

knee, ankle, or spine have a specific proprioception exercise program.

Consult a Physiotherapist near by to know more about your injury and specific proprioception exercises for it, as it is an integral part of complete rehabilitation.
