What is knew is not to know that proprioception is our sixth biological sense. The sense which informs the brain about the body and its relationship with the space. This was published by Sherrington in 1906 , more than one century ago. 

What is new is the knowlege that some conditions of muscle pain, imbalance and learning disabilities are consequence of proprioceptive disorders.

It is new as well, that proprioceptive disorder may be fixed and  symptoms disappear under specif proprioceptive treatment

Vestibular Migraine ;  Cervicogenic Headache

These two entities is often referred as specific clinical entities.
There is not direct neurological pathway between balance system and migraineous areas ,nor between neck muscles and head based muscles. However there is a matter of fact that there are people suffering simultaneously from imbalance, migraine, neck pain and headache. This association is made by the proprioceptive system. A proprioceptive dysfunction may have as manifestations, Imbalance,Migraine, Neck pain, Headache
So , in these cases the good strategy is to do proprioceptive tests and to check if proprioceptive treatment is effective in treating these symptoms.

Vertical Heterophoria  versus Vertical Heterolocalization


Some authors are linking headache, neck pain, dizziness , imbalance and other symptoms to vertical heterophoria .This Vertical Heterophoria would be the cause of these kind of symptoms.
So, the treatment would be to correct this so called Vertical Heterophoria by the necessary prisms to correct it.
The first thing to know is that in theses cases what they are observing is vertical heterolocalization for far but if they do the appropriated tests they will observe horizontal heterolocalization for near as well.
In reality it is not an heterophoria because there is not any movement of refixation at the cover test.
Otherwise all the symptoms and the heterolocalization vertical and horizontal are both consequences of proprioceptive dysfunction.

So the treatment for those symptoms is not prisms for vertical heterophoria but ACTIVE PRISMS for correcting PROPRIOCEPTION. Vertical prisms may be harmful because they stimulate at same time  in- rotatory eye muscles and out-rotatory eye muscles . This may produce a proprioceptive conflict and produce serious symptoms.

what is new is proprioceptive disturbances, being a wrong body perception,,may disturbe every kind of the perception types, including cognitive perception.

Correcting proprioception we can correct cognitive disturbances as a consequence of this correction.
Systematic wrong body position can produce proprioceptive disturbances.
Proprioception is more than our sixth sense. It is a metasense wich connects and can induces modifications in  the other five classical senses.

NOTICE

We are happy in helping people concerning proprioceptive disturbancies,Pain , Unbalance,Cognitive disturbancies. This kind of help is for free and it will be provided by private email . It will not be published anywhere. Answer will observe medical relationship rules.

HOW LONG FOR HAVING RESULTS?

The majority of symptoms like dizzinesse or backpain desappear in a few minutes after starting the treatment. However cognitive dysfonctions like dyslexia need a time of maturation. Sometimes they need a few weeks for the first important improvement.

SUMMARY

PDS is a widebody disease wich may produce a big amount of symptoms .

However we can summarise these symptoms in the following categories

1-Pain

Back pain, chest pain, arms pain,legs pain,feet pain, headhach,migraine,parestesias

2-Unbalance

Diziness,vertigo,body oscilation

3-Learning difficulties

Dyslexia, dysgraphia,disorthographia,dyslalia,attention defficit,hyperactivity

4-tiredness (without a real reason for it)

5-Other symptoms

Vascular symptoms as cold extremities even in hotweather,Claustrofobia,Agarofobia, Spatial disorientation, Frequent falldowns,Inmouth bitting ,Depression,NauseaEtc

Note. Each clinical case of PDS has just a part of these symptoms its why each case is different .

All these symptoms occur because there are a neurological system disturbed by systematic wrong posture.

The treatment consists on reorganizing the disturbed neurological system by active prisms,special insoles and postural reprogramming techniques among others.

A Real Story

Maria is feelling dizzy. It is coming again ,she thought .But now, she knows how to solve the problem. She goes to an optician to check her glasses. The answer is , everytinh is OK...
She decided to visit an eye doctor and the answer is, everything is OK.
A generalist doctor did a complete examination and the answer is , everything is OK.
He advised her to visit a psychiatrist. She insisted the only thing she is needing is to check her prisms prescribed by a doctor in her country 3 years ago.
You must see urgently a psychiatrist because you are very stressed, the doctor said...
Frightened,Maria took the first flight to her country and she goes directly to her optician shop. Your glasses are distorted and your prismes are not working properly the optician said, let me fix it.
The optician used the spetial technique for active prisms and Maria doesn´t feel dizzy anymore.
Conclusion.
This kind of situations is very often because many professionnals have no idea about the relationship between active prisms and dizziness,they have no idea about what active prisms are, because they just know passive prisms.They don´t know there are specific rules to put them in the frames and for what those frames must be prepared specificly.
These leads to an unnecessary suffering and a waste of money.
A hard and long way must be done...-

READING AND WRITTING SLOPE

A slope for reading and for writting is an importante device for training dyslexics in reading and in writting.

Reading becomes much more fluent and orthographics errors decrease.

Hereby a slope to put inside a schoolbag. The main innovation is the bottom of the slope. Paper doesn't slide down.

POSTUROLOGY WHAT IS IT?

Posturology is the medical science wich studies the consequence on the proprioceptive system linked to wrong systematic body position.

This dysfunction can affect all parts of the human body and a differential diagnosis must be done from organic lesions, because symptoms are often quite similar.

Many of proprioceptive dysfunctions symptoms are taken by organic diseases and their classical treatment becomes a disaster because many doctors are ignoring this kind of dysfunctions.
This wide group, of symptoms was described in 1979 by H.Martins da Cunha as Postural Defficiency Syndroma (PDS). The treatment of this syndroma is very well established and results are quickly obtained.This treatment doesn't require drugs prescription or invasive methods.
