Description of exercise Sensory proprioception facilitation exercises are a type of therapy that focuses on improving the body’s awareness and control of movement. These exercises use sensory input, such as touch, pressure, and joint positioning, to enhance proprioception, which is the sense of where our body is in space. By stimulating the sensory receptors in muscles, tendons, and joints, these exercises can help improve balance, coordination, and muscle control. They are often used in rehabilitation settings to aid in the recovery of injuries or neurological conditions. These exercises can also be beneficial for athletes looking to improve their performance and prevent injuries. Overall, sensory proprioception facilitation exercises aim to improve the body’s ability to move efficiently and effectively.
