I keep seeing the term proprioception. What does it mean?
Proprioception is a sensory modality that provides feedback solely of the body internally. It provides sensory information as to whether the body is moving with the required effort it needs to achieve any given task. Even more importantly it provides vital information as to where the various parts of the body are located in relation to each other. This information is how athlete’s achieve maximal efficiency of movement. This awareness of movement is derived from muscular, tendon, and articular nerve endings that transmit data.
