Do you notice that when you walk you place more weight on one side? When you look in a mirror does one shoulder or hip look higher than the other? Does it seem like no matter how much you do balancing exercise you still struggle with this?
Proprioception is sensing where our body is in space. As we get older we can lose some of our proprioception which puts us at greater risk for falls and other problems. Injuries or one sided activities can cause us to lean, tilt or compensate on one side without being aware. This can affect our balance and our ability to self correct if we start to lose our balance. If our posture is off, our Balance is off.
I find people who struggle with balance do not always need to practice more balancing exercises (although there is nothing wrong with this) but rather release tight muscles and find our balance from within.
Do these gentle movements and begin to discover more balance from the inside out. We will use a full length mirror to give us proprioceptive feedback.
If you struggle with poor posture and would like to release tight muscles in your body that are causing you pain and keeping you from enjoying your activities then check out my 21 day Somatics 4 Pain Relief Course.
This course is recorded so you can do this course at your own pace. I have arranged it so that every 3 days you will be able to access a new movement, giving you 7 movements in total to explore. These movements take approximately 10 minutes a day.
On day 21 you will receive a full 30 minute Somatic class using the movements you have learned throughout the course. After the 21 days you will have full access to all of the course for a lifetime.
