Rebuild your body awareness, balance, and coordination after injury with a plan tailored to your goals.
Proprioception refers to the body’s ability to detect where it is in space. For example, you can close your eyes, touch your nose, and move your finger to your nostrils without seeing them. Your sensory system helps you sense how your joints and muscles move, making proprioception crucial for balance and coordination.
After a musculoskeletal trauma, proprioception exercises can help retrain these senses. At Progressive Physical Therapy, your care begins with listening to your story and evaluating your unique needs. We use individualized exercises and activities to help you work toward your goals while building confidence in movement.
Balance training and neuromuscular reeducation are introduced and progressed as your recovery allows.
Because proprioception is crucial for balance and coordination, exercises can be selected to help you regain control and confidence during movement.
Following musculoskeletal trauma, a therapist can use appropriate exercises to help retrain the sensory system that informs how your joints and muscles move.
As you improve, your plan can progress from basic functional activities and balance work toward flexibility, strengthening, and goal-specific movement.
Every injury and recovery is different. Our experienced team takes time to thoroughly evaluate your condition and design a treatment plan around your needs. Your sessions may include assessment, individualized exercises and activities, education on preventing further injury or pain, and instruction on posture, body mechanics, and lifestyle changes.
Progressive Physical Therapy’s recovery approach moves from pain relief and introducing movement to strengthening, functional retraining, and recovery and prevention. In the strengthening phase, progressive loading, low-stress neuromuscular reeducation, balance training, and basic functional activities may be used. Later, advanced balance exercises and a controlled return to sports or other challenging environments can be incorporated when appropriate.
Your therapist may also provide specific exercise recommendations to perform between visits. Following those recommendations carefully can support your recovery and progress toward your goals.
Customized physical therapy delivered with compassion for people recovering from injury, managing pain, or working to remain independent.
