Points of References

Arch of pebbles in balancing on the sea coast. Find your points of reference.

The body relies on various points of reference to maintain balance. When standing, you use both feet as key reference points, but it's not just your feet that keep you upright. 

Your inner ear's vestibular system, an often-overlooked component of our physiology, plays a crucial role in balance by helping us sense motion and our body's position relative to our surroundings.

In addition, a network of specialized sensory receptors known as proprioceptors is vital for maintaining balance. These receptors are spread throughout your skin, ears, joints, tendons, and muscles, working together to keep you stable.

When proprioceptors are not properly maintained, you may experience balance issues, highlighting the importance of caring for these essential components of your body's balance system.

To properly maintain proprioception, consider these three basic principles:

Map Your Proprioceptors: Identify and accurately locate every proprioceptor to create a mental map of your body.

Coordinate Movement: Use proprioceptors to feel and control your body's movements.

Calibrate and Improve Spatial Awareness: Adjust your mapping and coordination to enhance spatial awareness, enabling safe and precise movement in your environment.

An inaccurate proprioceptive map can lead to uncoordinated movements, increasing the risk of falling or bumping into objects. Therefore, calibrating your proprioceptive points of reference is essential.

Crulsing, a natural fitness activity, is crucial for maintaining balance. It helps calibrate your proprioception, ultimately improving your overall well-being. 

Fidget with purpose, happy crulsing!
