Kinesthetic awareness

Kinesthetic awareness is the ability to sense the position, movement, and force of your body parts without needing to see them. It involves how your muscles, tendons, and joints send information to your brain about where your body is in space and how it's moving. This awareness helps you coordinate actions smoothly, maintain balance, and perform physical tasks effectively. For example, knowing how much strength to apply when lifting or adjusting your posture relies on good kinesthetic awareness. It develops through practice and movement, enhancing overall coordination and physical confidence.
