Balancing Act: The Symphony of Movement, Stability, and Proprioception
Manage episode 457107653 series 3579556
Picture this: you're on a treadmill, and suddenly, you trip—your body reacts instinctively, keeping you from hitting the ground. This episode of Heart of Motion unpacks how our bodies maintain balance, whether on a treadmill or in everyday life. I guide you through the fascinating world of balance, exploring the harmony between our vestibular, visual, sensory motor, and musculoskeletal systems. These intricate systems work together to ensure we stay upright, whether we're engaging in sports, or simply enjoying life to the fullest.
Get ready to expand your understanding of proprioception, often dubbed our sixth sense, which allows us to sense our body's position without relying on sight. We'll dive into the critical roles of ligaments, tendons, muscles, and fascia, emphasizing their importance in maintaining stability and preventing injuries.
