Kinaesthetics is the study of body motion, and of the perception (both conscious and unconscious) of one's own body motions.〔Hatch; Maietta 2003, p.5.〕 The perception of continuous movement (kinesthesia) is largely unconscious. A conscious proprioception is achieved through increased awareness. Kinaesthetics involves the teaching and personal development of such awareness. ==Therapeutic applications== Occupational therapy and physical therapy based on movement-associated awareness has been applied in the Western world since the mid-1980s, especially in Central European care facilities.
