About this listen

You’ve heard of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch—but what about the sixth sense that’s always running in the background?

In this episode of The Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan dive deep into proprioception—the body’s internal GPS—and explain how it constantly informs the brain about limb position, muscle tone, and balance. Unlike the other senses, proprioception is tonic, not phasic, meaning it never turns off. And that’s why chiropractic has such a profound impact on the nervous system.

You’ll learn:

  • How proprioceptive input shapes cognition, emotion, and movement
  • Why poor posture or injury leads to a “smudged” brain-body map
  • How spinal adjustments wake up dormant mechanoreceptors and restore healthy brain function
  • What recent neuroscience studies reveal about proprioception, pain, and neuroplasticity

Whether you're a patient, clinician, or wellness enthusiast, this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for the hidden sense that’s quietly running your life—and how to take better care of it.
