Have you ever stumbled on uneven ground (or even ground) but somehow caught yourself before you fell? That’s proprioception, your body’s built-in GPS. It’s your body’s ability to sense where it is in space without looking, and it plays a huge role in coordination, balance and injury prevention.
Proprioception naturally declines with age, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting or avoid movements that challenge your balance . The good news? You can train it just like you do a muscle.
