These Testimonials and Ratings from Our Patients Say It All Center for Health and Longevity 5.0 Based on 41 reviews See all reviews review us on Jennifer B. 11 months ago “I’ve dealt with many doctors and professionals over the years in an effort to mitigate basic issues that have cropped up as I’ve aged and have slowly gotten worse. What sets Dr. Mark apart from anyone else I’ve ever seen isn’t just his professionalism and expertise, but in the ways he dug into what I thought were minor issues and discovered the imbalances that CAUSED them. Things I thought were just part of my chronic, natural imbalances, he was able to identify as *symptoms* of a greater cause. This has led to revolutionary new approaches that transcend the problems I and everyone else I’ve seen figured were a given and created a focus on things I wasn’t even aware of. The result of his work has been transcendent. I cannot praise enough the excellence and professionalism of the team. When you are ready to SOLVE problems instead of nearly TREATING them, go get healed :) Steven P. a year ago Dr Mark does a great job - he fixed my very painful back after a minor accident last year, and now he’s helping me with plantar fasciitis. He has a very pleasant manner, he is patient and also instructive about the treatment he is doing. I would not hesitate to recommend him - he has helped me many times already. Magda C. a year ago I’m not sure what I’d have done without Dr. Larinde’s this past year. He is great at explaining and answering all the questions I’ve had regarding my injury. I had been in serious pain for several months before meeting him. His treatments have been invaluable. I’m deeply grateful for all he has done for me. Angela Z. a year ago Beyond grateful for Dr Larinde!! His expertise and healing touch have proven to be the perfect combination to helping manage severe sciatica flare ups, muscle spasms, numbness and tingling. The decompression table has also been beneficial in decreasing pain and the frequency of flare ups. His genuine care and compassion for his patients is unmatched. I can’t thank you enough Mark—the numbers of days I have with minimal to no pain has definitely increased! I am starting to find joy in the process and have an overall brighter look at things despite my limitations. I would highly recommend The Center for Health and Longevity to those who suffer from spinal injuries/issues. Shayna D. a year ago Attending Melanie's breathing class has been such a transformative experience! She is truly wonderful, her calming presence and expert guidance create a safe and nurturing space for everyone. I always leave her class feeling both calm and energized, as though my mind and body are perfectly balanced. Stephanie S. a year ago I attended Melanie's Women's Healing Circle Workshop this month and it was truly a magical experience. Melanie is committed to bringing her best self to everything she does and with this event she did not disappoint . I was touched, moved and inspired by her agenda and would encourage anyone that is looking for self healing tools to attend one of her Women's Healing Circle Workshops. She truly is amazing! Joy K. a year ago I had a beautiful experience at the center for Longevity. The space itself is peaceful and reflects the mindful care of its founders. Melanie Larinde is incredibly knowledgeable in all the wellness disciplines from nutrition and exercise to breath work and mindset. Melanie has a gift for making people feel welcome and seen. Highly recommend that you try a class or workshop. It is transformative. Coby L. a year ago Brittany is incredible!! She helped me work on my stability and core strength in a balance/flexibility training session and I already notice a difference in my daily routine. The concept of offsetting my weight to help with balance was totally new to me and Brittany explained it in a way that was both easy to understand and incredibly helpful. She takes advanced concepts and makes them digestible for beginners and useful for experts. I would absolutely recommend Brittany to anyone looking to improve their balance, strength, and flexibility :) Ryan P. 3 years ago Dr Mark is awesome. Does a great job listening and providing targeted treatments to deliver better range of motion and quality of life Andrew S. 3 years ago No need to spend any more time researching chiropractors. I can assure you Mark is the best you're going to find. I've seen Mark over the past year for some challenging issues, and he's been a tremendous help throughout. He's the best for a few reasons: 1) As experienced as they get. He's been doing this for a long time and has seen just about everything by now. 2) He listens and really cares. He really takes the time to understand your symptoms and find the right treatment plan. I've yet to find someone that genuinely cares about his patients / clients (in any area) as much as Mark does. 3) He's comprehensive in how he treats you. Most other chiropractors do a few quick adjustments, maybe some e-stim and you're on your way in 10 minutes. Mark is great with adjustments but he does so much more than that when it comes to working on your body. Spinal decompression, traction of my lower back, trigger point work; he does a little bit of everything to get you back to your best. I rarely write reviews, but after seeing so many chiropractors that I've had disappointing experiences with, I think it's important to highlight how helpful Mark is. Nancy P. 3 years ago Dr. Mark Larinde has been helping me for several years with my neck issues and all around issues associated with being a dancer/choreographer. He is wonderful at identifying the exact point of trauma and addressing it. Not only do I get relief from each visit, but he gives me personalized exercises to help heal and overcome my issues. Dr. Mark's warm and friendly approach is wonderful and he helps calm your muscles down prior to the adjustments, which is super helpful! Thank you Dr. Larinde at the Center for Health and Longevity! Britthollaaa 3 years ago This is the best chiropractor I've ever had! I'm a professional ballet dancer and he has helped me with so many issues! I leave feeling better than ever every time!

This has lead to treatment of symptoms, giving rise to a dangerous opioid addiction crisis and millions of patients still in pain. Chronic pain can make it hard to go about your daily life. Whether it’s knee pain, hip pain, low back pain or a headache that just won’t quit, you may be surprised to know you might not need pain medication to feel better. Here are four ways to manage both acute and chronic pain before reaching for pain medication: Chiropractic and Physical Therapy Techniques: Joint Mobilization & Range of Motion techniques, Stretching, and strengthening muscles not only relieves pain, but can prevent it from coming back. These therapies can also improve overall muscle functioning but increased flexibility by allowing joints to move inflammation out of the joint capsule and bring in needed nutrients and fluid, which reduces strain and risk of injury in the long run. Physiotherapy Modalities:  Heat and Ice Therapy, Class 4 Laser Therapy and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy all provide pain reduction through the process of penetrating deep into tissues to both increase blood supply to the effected areas and reduce inflammation Regular Exercise: Exercise may be the last thing on your mind when you’re in pain. But gentle activity can actually help you recover. Exercise in the form of walking, biking or swimming loosens stiff muscles, ligaments and tendons, and improves blood flow, both of which speed your body’s natural healing process. Integrative Medicine Techniques: These techniques tap into the mind-body connection Integrative techniques combine the power of breath, movement and mindfulness (the practice of being present in the moment) to relieve pain by calming unhealthy activity in the mind. Stress Management: There is a strong connection in the brain between stress and pain. Finding healthy ways to cope with the pressures of everyday life can help you gain peace of mind and control of your symptoms.

While some people are okay carrying additional body weight and can maintain a positive body image, it is critical to consider the impact excess weight has upon the internal systems of our bodies. For instance, our circulatory system is responsible for carrying blood throughout our body. Excess fat and toxins in the blood impede the flow of healthy nutrients and oxygen, forcing our bodies into a state of chronic overtime in order to clean up the excess waste. Our respiratory system distributes oxygen to the tiniest capillaries found in our organs and limbs. Excess weight can impede lung capacity, interfering with its natural process, and can even lead to sleep apnea. Our skeletal system, including our bones and joints, need to remain strong and supple to prevent fractures and keep our bodies in alignment. In particular, our knee joint takes on extra strain when we carry excess weight, in turn affecting the alignment and causing pain in our hips, back, shoulders and neck. It is crucial to recognize the total impact that excess weight has upon the overall functioning of our bodies. We develop a manageable weight loss protocol for you to follow during your program The consumption of food and drink plays a major role in how smoothly and efficiently these systems operate. Our bodies have a natural propensity to flow in the direction of health and vitality, a state called homeostasis. Eating whole fresh food nourishes our bloodstream, allowing every cell to be cleansed and replenished. On the contrary, chemicals commonly found in soft drinks, processed foods, and excess sugar flood our system with unusable substances causing our bodies to work overtime to eliminate, interfering with their natural function to keep us healthy. Subsequently, inflammation ensues leading to pain and disease which could have been prevented through proper diet, movement, and other lifestyle changes. Our Weight Loss Program is tailored to you and your lifestyle including exercise habits, work situation, and home life. Using an educational approach, we develop a manageable protocol for you to follow throughout your program transitioning into a natural ‘next-step’ maintenance plan for you to incorporate on your own after its completion. As we work together on your weight loss journey, the solution comes to light as if you were looking through the lens of a camera traveling throughout your body viewing your organs, muscles, and tissue. Seeing things from the inside out, the connection to the food and drink you consume and how well your body operates becomes evident. Here is where the weight drops off, your energy increases, your mood elevates, and joy returns to your life. It is a natural response to taking care of yourself. The Science of Holistic Nutrition The science of Holistic Nutrition addresses an individual’s lifestyle including diet, exercise and the well-being of your mental, emotional and spiritual states. It goes beyond counting calories and exercise. Each program aligns with your current situation.

It affects around 20 million people in the United States and is caused by factors such as diabetes, chemotherapy, autoimmune diseases, infections, traumatic injuries, and vitamin deficiencies. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to managing symptoms and preventing further nerve damage. Complications of untreated peripheral neuropathy include impaired coordination, muscle weakness, and difficulty walking. At the Center for Health and Longevity, we offer cutting-edge technology that can alleviate your neuropathy symptoms without surgery or harmful medications. Our neuropathy treatments take full advantage of your body’s natural healing processes and address the root of the problem instead of merely covering the symptoms for temporary relief. This approach allows you to get back to doing the things you love and finally enjoy quality rest. Peripheral Neuropathy affects around 20 million people in the United States Extracorporeal Shock Wave therapy (ESWT) is an innovative treatment that uses acoustic waves to deliver high energy to painful spots and myo-skeletal tissues with subacute, sub-chronic, and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of bones, tendons, and other soft tissues. Shockwaves are characterized by a sudden change in pressure, high amplitude, and non-periodicity. The kinetic energy of the projectile, created by compressed air, is transferred to the transmitter at the end of the applicator and further into the tissue. Conditions treated with Shockwave Therapy Shockwave therapy has been shown to be effective for a wide range of chronic conditions, including: Peripheral Neuropathy Plantar Fasciitis Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow Wrist/Ankle Pain Joint Pain (shoulder, knee, hip) Leg Pain Tendonitis Bursitis Frozen Shoulder Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Neuromas and Neuralgias Take the First Step Towards Pain Relief.

These Testimonials and Ratings from Our Patients Say It All Center for Health and Longevity 5.0 Based on 41 reviews See all reviews review us on Jennifer B. 12 months ago “I’ve dealt with many doctors and professionals over the years in an effort to mitigate basic issues that have cropped up as I’ve aged and have slowly gotten worse. What sets Dr. Mark apart from anyone else I’ve ever seen isn’t just his professionalism and expertise, but in the ways he dug into what I thought were minor issues and discovered the imbalances that CAUSED them. Things I thought were just part of my chronic, natural imbalances, he was able to identify as *symptoms* of a greater cause. This has led to revolutionary new approaches that transcend the problems I and everyone else I’ve seen figured were a given and created a focus on things I wasn’t even aware of. The result of his work has been transcendent. I cannot praise enough the excellence and professionalism of the team. When you are ready to SOLVE problems instead of nearly TREATING them, go get healed :) Steven P. 1 year ago Dr Mark does a great job - he fixed my very painful back after a minor accident last year, and now he’s helping me with plantar fasciitis. He has a very pleasant manner, he is patient and also instructive about the treatment he is doing. I would not hesitate to recommend him - he has helped me many times already. Magda C. 1 year ago I’m not sure what I’d have done without Dr. Larinde’s this past year. He is great at explaining and answering all the questions I’ve had regarding my injury. I had been in serious pain for several months before meeting him. His treatments have been invaluable. I’m deeply grateful for all he has done for me. Angela Z. 1 year ago Beyond grateful for Dr Larinde!! His expertise and healing touch have proven to be the perfect combination to helping manage severe sciatica flare ups, muscle spasms, numbness and tingling. The decompression table has also been beneficial in decreasing pain and the frequency of flare ups. His genuine care and compassion for his patients is unmatched. I can’t thank you enough Mark—the numbers of days I have with minimal to no pain has definitely increased! I am starting to find joy in the process and have an overall brighter look at things despite my limitations. I would highly recommend The Center for Health and Longevity to those who suffer from spinal injuries/issues.

What is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy and How Does It Work? Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches and relaxes a targeted area of the spine, creating negative pressure within the disc to alleviate the painful symptoms of nerve compression. Through this process, decompression increases intervertebral mobility, reduces pain due to nerve compression, and stimulates the natural healing process by repositioning herniated discs interior and increasing blood flow. Back pain can be a debilitating condition that affects individuals of all ages. For many people, surgical intervention has been the traditional approach to treating chronic radiating neck and back pain. However, recent advancements in technology have led to the development of non-surgical treatment options, including spinal decompression therapy. The Center for Health and Longevity, a leading provider of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy in Santa Monica, uses a decompression table that allows the patient to lie comfortably while the table gently stretches the spine. Using a computer controlled program, the amount of force and the direction of the stretch is adjusted to each patients needs allowing for precise and individualized treatment. This negative pressure helps to relieve pressure on the spinal discs, which can be caused by conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. In addition, the decompression process helps to increase the inter-disc space between the vertebrae, which can reduce nerve compression and improve mobility. As the pressure on the discs is relieved, the body’s natural healing processes are stimulated, promoting healing and reducing pain. Comprehensive Treatments from caring professionals Non-surgical spinal decompression is an effective, non-invasive therapy for chronic back pain, offering pain relief and improved mobility without surgery. What Conditions Can Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy Treat? Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions that affect the spine, including: Herniated Discs: A herniated disc occurs when the outer layer of a spinal disc tears, allowing the inner gel-like material to leak out. This can cause pressure on the surrounding nerves, resulting in pain and radiating numbness down the arms and/or legs. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can help to reposition the gelatinous herniated disc material and substantially redunce pressure on the adjacent nerves while promoting natural healing. Degenerative Disc Disease: Degenerative disc disease occurs when the spinal intervertebral discs lose fluid and elasticity, the shock absorber and cushioning ability to repetitive stress in your back, and begin to break down. This can lead to a loss of inter-disc height and thus put pressure on the surrounding nerve roots that exit the spinal column leading to pain and limited mobility. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can help by increasing fluid within the disc by the process of imbibition, increase blood flow to the affected areas, and promote the natural healing process. Spinal Stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the central spinal canal due to the presence of disc material pushing against the spinal cord, which can cause pressure on the spinal cord and its exiting nerves. This can result in bilateral pain, numbness, muscle weakness, and in severe cases greatly limited mobility. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can help to reduce pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, improving mobility and reducing pain. Sciatica: Sciatic pain is a condition where the sciatic nerve, which exits the lower back and innervates the hips and legs, gets compressed by the presence of disc material pressing against one or more exiting nerve roots. This can cause pain and dermatomal patterned numbness, in the hips, legs and feet. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can help to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve distribution decreasing pain, numbness and improving mobility. Facet Joint Syndrome: Facet joint syndrome occurs when the small posterior joints between the vertebrae become inflamed or damaged. This can cause localized pain, stiffness and limited mobility. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can help to reduce pressure on the affected area, by greatly increase range of motion in the facet joints, and reduce pain causing inflammation. Post-Surgical Pain: Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can also be used to treat post-surgical pain. After surgery, scar tissue can form and cause pressure on nerves, resulting in pain and limited mobility. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy can help to reduce pressure on the affected area, promoting natural healing and reducing pain.

Our bodies tell our story. When we walk into a room, what are we saying to others without speaking a word? Our posture, head carriage, and gait are reflections of our life. Accidents, poor physical habits such as too much sitting, and lack of exercise all contribute to how we carry our bodies today. And in this lifetime, we are only given this one beautiful body. Restorative Bodywork is a modality to get us out of pain, bring back fluidity and flexibility to our muscles, joints and ligaments, and release old patterns that no longer serve us in our life today. It also addresses scar tissue that may be adhered to surrounding soft tissue causing pain, restriction, and imbalances. This work improves posture and body awareness which prevents future pain and injuries. When we are in tune with our body, we carry ourselves with mindfulness, we chose to nourish yourself with nutrient-rich whole foods, and our mental state and confidence increase. You will learn: New ways to make your workday more comfortable with less fatigue and more sustained energy.  If you sit at a computer for long periods of time during a normal days’ work, we educate you on optimal ways to use your body to prepare you for a long and healthy life. As you progress through your bodywork sessions, we teach you new ways to sit at your desk, work on your computer, talk on the phone, and perform other work-related tasks to obtain and preserve good posture, a strong spine and supple joints. If your job entails an active day of being on your feet and even lifting heavy objects, bodywork sessions are also a great opportunity to use your newfound awareness in your daily tasks to prevent injuries and maintain strength and mobility. New ways to perform your sport such as running, pickleball, and hiking.  Taking your newly acquired body awareness out into your sport, you will experience less injuries as you improve your game as a result of focusing on proper joint alignment in your knees, hips, and shoulders. New ways to use your body in daily life.  Sitting in traffic, standing in line at the grocery store, gathering for an evening with friends, and sitting in a restaurant are all opportunities to put your newly found body awareness into action. You will notice increased energy, better moods, and a lighter body as you progress through your bodywork sessions taking what you learned out into your world. Bodywork sessions keep you aligned, balanced, and relieve tension If you’ve experienced or are experiencing past injuries or accidents, old scar tissue, pain, restriction of movement, feeling stuck in your life or not able to move forward, or just want a good release in your muscles, you are a good candidate for Restorative Bodywork.

We then create a treatment protocol designed to effectively bring you to a painfree state as we begin your recovery and healing process. Depending on a variety of factors such as age, past injuries and inactivity or trauma, your treatments typically involve the gentle manipulation of the vertebrae using specialized Chiropractic tables along with the use of Physiotherapy modalities including heat and ice, as well as stretching and mobilization techniques to realign your spine and increase overall movement. We treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions using non-invasive techniques that utilize the latest Chiropractic and physiotherapy equipment, procedures and modalities. Frequent conditions for which patients seek our expertise include: Pinched Nerve – A pinched nerve occurs when a nerve root gets trapped between the vertebrae in your spine. Pinched nerves can occur anywhere in the spine, including the neck (cervical spine), the upper back (the thoracic spine), and the lower back (lumbar spine). A pinched nerve can cause intense pain and interfere with your normal activities Disc Injuries – Injuries to the intervertebral discs, the soft tissue “spacers” that sit between each spinal vertebrae, occur when one or more of the rubbery discs get damaged. Discs can herniate, which means that the exterior disc shell develops a small tear and the disc interior gel starts leaking out. Another example is a bulging disc wherein the disc’s contents push their way into its outer shell. Disc injuries can happen anywhere in your spine, with the neck and low back being the most common areas Degeneration – Degenerative change s in our joints typically occur due to wear-and-tear over the years. Cartilage can start to wear down in the joint capsule, boney surfaces can start to deform due to lack of movement and inflexibility, and intervertebral discs can shrink over time leaving less cushion between vertebrae. The result of these degenerative processes may cause pain and numbness among other symptoms Sports Injuries – Sports injuries can cause pain and leave you sidelined permanently if you don’t heal and rehabilitate properly. Dr. Larinde, DC, treats a wide variety of sports injuries, such as sprains and strains, using physiotherapy techniques and soft tissue manipulation If an injury or chronic pain condition is keeping you from living life to its fullest, we can help set you on the path to healing.

Private and Group Sessions Available. Call 310.829.0453 to Reserve Your Spot Breathwork and Meditation are powerful tools that enhance one’s life by promoting mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being through stress reduction and improved relaxation. This practice, which has been around for thousands of years, increases physical and mental health by reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and boosting immune function. These practices foster greater emotional resilience and mindfulness, leading to more balanced and fulfilling relationships. Engaging in Breathwork and Meditation cultivates a deeper sense of inner peace and self-awareness, enriching daily life experiences. In the fast-paced world we live in today, finding moments of peace and tranquility can be challenging. Between juggling work, family, and personal responsibilities, it’s no wonder that stress and anxiety have become common issues for many. However, amidst the chaos, there exists a powerful practice that can significantly improve your mental, emotional, and physical well-being: Breathwork and Meditation. These practices are not just about relaxation; they offer a wide range of benefits that can transform your life in profound ways. Amazing Benefits of Breathwork and Meditation Stress Reduction and Emotional Balance One of the most immediate and noticeable benefits of Breathwork and Meditation is the significant reduction in stress. By focusing on your breath and practicing mindfulness, you activate the body’s relaxation response, lowering cortisol levels and alleviating feelings of anxiety. Regular participants often report a greater sense of calm and emotional stability, allowing them to handle life’s challenges with more ease and resilience. Improved Mental Clarity and Focus In today’s multitasking world, maintaining focus can be difficult. Breathwork and Meditation enhance mental clarity and concentration by training the mind to remain present. This practice can improve your ability to stay focused on tasks, boost productivity, and enhance decision-making skills. Over time, you’ll find that your mind becomes clearer and more organized, making it easier to tackle your daily responsibilities. Enhanced Physical Health The benefits of Breathwork extend beyond mental and emotional wellness; they also have a profound impact on physical health. Deep, controlled breathing increases oxygen flow to the brain and other vital organs, improving overall bodily function. Regular practice can lower blood pressure, improve lung capacity, and enhance cardiovascular health. Additionally, it can strengthen the immune system, making the body more resilient to illness. Better Sleep Quality For those struggling with insomnia or poor sleep quality, Breathwork and Meditation can be a game-changer. These powerful tools significantly enhance sleep quality by addressing both the physiological and psychological factors that contribute to sleep disturbances. Breathwork involves controlled breathing exercises that can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. This in turn activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System responsible for ‘rest-and-digest’, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep . Breathwork and Meditation lower cortisol levels, one of the main hormones associated with stress. These reduced levels lead to easing the mind and a state more conducive to falling asleep. These practices increase oxygen intake which in turn improves blood circulation, helping to relax the body for sleep. Certain breathing techniques help to regulate the heartrate which is associated with better overall stress-management and enhanced sleep quality. In addition to the above benefits, the regular practice of Breathwork and Meditation has been shown to give a person an overall sense of hope, teaching them how to focus more on the present moment and less on negative future scenarios that may never come to fruition. A famous quote by the French philosopher Michel de Montaigne sums it up, “My life has been full of terrible misfortunes, most of which never happened.” If you’ve been on this seemingly elusive search for peace and joy, come join our Breathwork and Meditation group to uncover the inner sanctuary that has always been within you. We are all on this journey together.   Breathwork and Meditation Training The Center for Health and Longevity provides Breathwork and Meditation training for all ages and abilities.

Sign Up Today Correct Poor Posture Being out of balance impacts your posture which negatively affects all the joints in your body over time.  Correct it now before it's too late. Build Core Strength Core strength is everything.  It is the center of all your strength from the simplest daily activities to competing in elite level sports. Regain Lost Flexibility Flexibility ties it all together.  Being stiff and immobile will alter your balance and slowly drain you of the strength you need now. Playing a competitive sport, going for a run, or standing at the top of a ladder all require balance, strength & flexibility. Balance is involved in every aspect of daily life, including standing, walking, bending over to tie your shoes, and walking up and down a flight of stairs. If you partake in a strenuous activity like playing a demanding sport, are a professional or dedicated athlete, or working in a physically taxing environment, balance, strength & flexibility become critical not only to your success, but your overall safety as well. Most of us take our sense of balance for granted. We started walking as a toddler and improved our balance and coordination as we grew up playing sports or participating in a variety of activities after school. But balance & flexibility over our lifetime is not guaranteed, and as we age our sense of balance can diminish slowly over time without our realizing it. Add in a chronic injury like repetitive ankle sprains or knee and hip injuries, and the affected joint can lose its proprioception and become weak and unstable, and the muscles that attach to that affected joint can become stiff and lose pliability. Because the joints in our body are complex, every injury has the potential to subsequently reduce your balance and proprioception (the perception and awareness of the position and movement of your body). However, you can quickly improve both your proprioception and balance with exercises tailored specifically for this. When a joint is sprained, such as a common ankle sprain, it loses proprioception, feels unstable, and may give out without warning. Exercises involving proprioceptive and balance will help the body relearn ways to control the position of the joint and prevent injury in physically active individuals and athletes. Finally, improved balance and stability will equalize the strength of antagonistic muscle pairs – where one muscle contracts while the other muscle relaxes or lengthens – as well as greatly improve the  performance of smaller, stabilizing muscles necessary for more strenuous sports or activities . Following a consistent  balance training program will lead to greater strength in your larger strength training movements while providing greater stability due to your improved balance.
