Bulletproofing your body from injury

Proprioception is defined as the sense of knowing where a body part is in space at any one time. Proprioceptors (mechanosensory neurons) are located within muscles, tendons, and joints. They are essential for stabilizing body posture and coordinating body movement. 

There is a correlation between how well we can shift our body areas and our potential to operate, throw, capture, kick, punch, and absorb effect. Balance awareness and proprioception training can enhance performance such as developing speed and power. 

Highly developed proprioceptive abilities instill more confidence and optimize sports performance

Proprioception allows the body to perform simultaneous actions without stopping to think about each one separately, such as running while dribbling a basketball, or coordinating dance moves
