What Is Your Sensory Quotient?
Your feet are more than just the things that carry you through the day — they’re your body’s foundation, your balance center, and a direct gateway to your brain.
But here’s the question:
How well are you actually connected to them?
That connection — or lack of it — is what we call your Sensory Quotient (SQ).
Your SQ is a simple way to measure your sensory awareness, foot health, and how well your foundation is supporting the rest of your body. By understanding your SQ, you can unlock targeted strategies to improve your posture, movement, and even your energy levels.
Today, we’ll walk you through a quick self-assessment to help you figure out your SQ score — and what to do about it.
Why Your Sensory Connection Matters
Sensory input from the feet tells your brain how to stabilize, balance, and move efficiently.
When this input is strong, you feel more grounded, stable, and powerful.
When it’s weak or dulled, you may feel off-balance, fatigued, or prone to aches and pains.
The good news?
You can train your sensory connection — and it all starts with knowing where you stand.
