If you’re a competitive athlete, grandparent, or fall anywhere in between, balance is important.  Balance may sound simple but it’s not.  In order to balance well, your brain needs to communicate with the muscles and nerves in your body.  Proprioception is a word used to describe your body’s ability to sense joint position.  If you have good proprioception, the better you’ll adjust to quick changes in movement and decrease the risk of getting injured or falling.
