Proprioception
Proprioception is your sense of where your body is in space. It helps with balance, movement, and coordination.
Definition
Proprioceptive input comes from muscles and joints. Some people seek deep pressure or movement to feel more regulated. Activities like stretching or pushing can be calming for some. The goal is safe, supportive movement.
