To improve performance in sport and avoid injuries, athletes learn to become aware of the shape of the body in relation to the Earth's gravitational field, to discover the tensions by which they are kept in a forced equilibrium and to release them to find a support-based balance.

The habitual tensions that were generated while we were developing and learning to be in the world and move in life, are not usually accessible with physical exercise alone. By training, we can develop enough strength to overcome it but, deep down, those holding patterns remain active, without being able to participate in the achievement of our goal and, often, undermining our efforts. In this way, injuries easily occur.

Sensory awareness allows us to find, moment by moment, the best way to move in relation to the gravitational force. Receiving the support available on the floor at all times allows bodily functions to flow more easily, hydrating the dry tissues of muscles and fasciae and nourishing the nervous system with sensory information that allows access to the centers that maintain the usual tension and encourage them to release unnecessary tension.
