Yes, this book is pretty old, but it’s still splendid information. The method is absolutely great - no doubt you will be glad you’ve found it! There is no fluff, no sugar-coating, no false promises here! It should be remembered that in the time Checkley wrote, there was much less commercialization in the fitness domain and much less P.T. Barnum-style marketing that today is pestering this branch - while the author really knew what he was talking about and was able to communicate it well. Still, this new edition is better than the original was, at least for the modern listener!

Proprioception is more than balance. It is how patients learn to sense, control, and trust movement again. The Proprioceptive Patient is an evidence-informed clinical guide for physical therapists, rehabilitation professionals, educators, and students who want to think more precisely about proprioceptive training, body awareness, movement accuracy, and sensorimotor confidence. Too often, proprioception is reduced to wobble boards, foam pads, eyes-closed balance drills, or vague documentation phrases such as “poor proprioception.” This book takes a deeper and more practical approach.

Sources are scarce in writing about the theme of the role movement, and specifically – exercise, plays in the Bible and how God uses it to accomplish His purposes. A genre I call ‘biblical philosophy,’ is expounded on in the book and I think readers will be pleasantly surprised to see the imperative God places on the discipline of movement science, how faith and fitness are related, and how God ordained that many times physical exertion is a foretaste of the sublime and peer into the spiritual. The reason I wrote this book is to lead readers to Christ and/or deepen already existing ...
