The hidden proprioceptive sense is the sense of body awareness. Receptors for this sense are located in our joints and ligaments. When you push, pull, lift, carry, or throw something with weight, you’re giving yourself proprioceptive input. Proprioceptive input is usually calming and focusing. It helps ground you in your body when you’re feeling out of sorts. These items all help provide proprioceptive input. Some also provide other stimulation, such as vestibular (movement) or tactile input and help with balance. Consult an OT if you want to use weighted wearable products such as weighted vests.
