👀🧠 “Coach, why does this become SO difficult when I close my eyes?” 😵💫🦵
Here’s the answer! 🔥
Your balance depends on information from multiple systems — vision, the vestibular system, and proprioception — working together to tell your brain where your body is and how it’s moving. 🎯
When you close your eyes, you remove a major source of information, making your body rely more on proprioceptive and vestibular input. 🧠⚡
That’s why these drills suddenly feel MUCH harder! 👀🔥
After an injury or surgery, appropriately progressed balance and proprioception training can be an important part of rehabilitation. ❤️🩹
👉 Try open-eye → closed-eye variations only when appropriate for your rehab stage and with professional guidance.
