An article highlighting suggesting that before pain begins there’s an alternation in how we perceive our bodies in space. The older we get the more input we need to continue playing with our bodies, feeling things and moving in different positions.

Proprioception is a deep sensation that perceives the position of each part of the body, state of movement and muscle contraction, and resistance and mass applied to the body.

Steve has been working on his hip control and strength with an emphasis on his hamstrings. He originally came in complaining of posterior hip pain from sitting for long periods. He couldn’t run and also had some lower back pain. After a few weeks of training he is now able to move his hip like a hip. Still has some lower back twisting but overall much smoother.
