◆ 3 Key Points in This Book That Will Change Your Movements Forever

Rediscovering Gravisensing: The most fundamental sense that keeps us grounded and balanced on Earth.
By restoring the connection with the ground through the soles of the feet and increasing the 'volume' of gravity, the reference point of movement is corrected.

Rebuilding your body schema: You need to accurately update the 'body map' your brain unconsciously creates.
As this map becomes clearer, movements become more elegant and precise, and they adapt more flexibly to their environment.

The Connection Between Fascia and the Nervous System: The fascia that covers the entire body is not just a simple tissue, but a vast communication network that transmits sensory feedback to the nervous system.
Maintaining healthy fascia is the secret to keeping your proprioception youthful.

A must-read for both movement professionals and general readers, this book scientifically demonstrates how everyday stimuli—like walking barefoot, compression garments, and intentional movement—strengthen the brain-body connection, reduce fall risk, and improve functional mobility.
If you want to live a long and vibrant life, enter the world of sensual sapiens now.

“Health, well-being, and longevity are always within your grasp.” - From the dedication

We call humans 'Homo Sapiens (wise humans)'.
But the author of this book, Dr. Emily Splical, redefines us as “sensory sapiens.”
This highlights that we are sensory beings who feel, touch and move, and that sensory stimulation and movement are key to shaping our health and longevity.

Drawing on a deep understanding of neuroscience and biomechanics, this book presents a roadmap for making the concept of "Movement Longevity" a reality.
What's particularly noteworthy is that it goes beyond traditional exercise books that simply focus on strength or flexibility, guiding you to maximize your body's potential by regulating and strengthening your sensory input systems.

Give your nervous system some 'noise' and turn up the 'volume'.


The brain perceives sensory stimuli as 'noise', but modern people's sedentary lifestyle and improper footwear block this noise, weakening the nervous system's sensory perception.
The author introduces an innovative training method that uses practical tools like sensory insoles, compression garments, and barefoot walking to increase the 'volume' of this noise and teach the brain to perceive its own body more accurately.

In this book, readers will learn about the importance of movement precision as we age, brain-based balance that prevents falls, and the deep connection between movement and emotional well-being.

For all readers who seek not just a long life, but a life of graceful, efficient movement without pain, this book will provide insight into their bodies and guidance on how to take charge of their long-term health.
A life connected to movement—that's the new health paradigm promised by "Sensory Sapiens."
