Proprioception for non-specialists. Part 1: Smooth back standing for 10 seconds

Most recently, my article about the feelings of a person was severely stormy - user ratings ranged from +5 to -4. The comments noted such funny moments as:

But yes, I read about proprioceptive sensitivity. Not entertaining - fanciful words in order to show the superiority of professionals in this field
And where does the number of feelings? According to the logic of your article, you can not use the intestines until you realize how it works.
Actually, painting on more detailed "feelings" is only a useless clarification. The author simply introduces convenient “feelings” to him, because he is a “Neurologist, certified teacher of somatics” and teaches people to “move easily and without pain” (c).

The lesson from this article will take 10-15 seconds and it will allow you to find the inner feeling that will allow you to comfortably hold your back while standing for a long time. On your own experience you can see whether it is worthwhile to separate proprioception (articular-muscular feeling) separately.

One of the most frequent exercises used to set up a straight posture recommends leaning the back of your head, back, buttocks, back of your legs against the wall and, remembering the position, keep it while standing and walking.


Most have tried such exercises on themselves and many of you remember how difficult it was to keep your back straight and how quickly your posture returned to its former state. If you have forgotten this feeling of stiffness, inconvenience and high energy expenditure - you can repeat this exercise before the lesson.

So, the promised lesson for 10-15 seconds!

Stand up, look at your posture in the mirror, or ask yourself to take a profile photo, feel the position of the parts of your body relative to each other.

Put your legs together, heels and socks, place your hands with the letter "T" and swing only in the ankle joints forward, without taking the heels off the floor, stay for a few seconds in this position of the "Tower of Pisa" and return to the starting position, lower your arms.


Look in the mirror or take a control picture, notice the result. Outwardly, alignment of the back in a straight line will be noticeable, but this is only an external effect.

The inner feeling of unusual convenience and evenness of such posture is the main bonus of the proper use of proprioception for learning good posture.

Naturally, the old habits gradually return the position of the back to the usual position, but you already know how to recall the inner feeling of evenness in 10 seconds. Initially, the effect lasts for 3-5 minutes, over time, performing lessons on the development of proprioceptive skills, the usual posture will change to a more even standing.

PS Soon you will see another article on proprioception - we will look for a flat back sitting for 2 minutes. You will also learn more about the neurophysiology of maintaining body position in space.

For those who want to reduce slouching, there are already two lessons on Hiktaims published in the framework of articles on tunnel syndromes. Part two and fourth .
