Is Your Balance Setting You Up For An Injury?

You Have More Than 5 Senses

Do you know that you have more than 5 senses? Proprioception is your ability to sense the position of all your joints. With a lessened sense of proprioception, a person has to look directly at the limb they are moving in order to perceive its desiredmovement; something they used to do without even thinking about it. The good news is, that like any other activity, proprioception can be re-learned with physical therapy. There is a lot that can be done to improve your balance. The key is physical therapy. With hands on therapy to improve your joint mobility, along with simple strengthening and balance exercises, you can improve your balance, walking, and feel like your normal self. Elite Physical Therapy is theideal place to improve your balance, increase your walking, improve your movement, and get you back to living life at your maximum potential. Ask your doctor today about coming to Elite PT and becoming better balanced.
