Proprioceptive System

Therapy may include playing with weights, bouncing on a trampoline or a large ball, skipping or pushing heavy objects.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“Nobody is glad in the gladness of another, and our system is one of war, of an injurious superiority. Every child of the Saxon race is educated to wish to be first. It is our system; and a man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies, and hatreds of his competitors.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
