Discover the importance of balance in movement and how the vestibular system influences our physical performance.
In this episode, we tackle a crucial question: is it essential to have good balance to perform an effective movement? We were fortunate to welcome Seb, who has just returned from his INPP training, to discuss these issues.
Seb emphasizes that balance is an integral part of movement. Regardless of the situation, our body engages in reflex stabilization before, during, and after any movement. This aligns with Dr. Bernard Bricot's quote that posture plays a role at every stage of movement.
There are three essential stages in performing a movement:
It is clear that balance is crucial for executing a precise and coordinated movement.
The vestibular system plays a central role in our balance. It helps us orient ourselves in space, especially against gravity. Seb explains that this system is the first to develop in the fetus and is essential for good sensory integration.
Deficits in the vestibular system can lead to physical balance problems, but they can also affect our emotional balance. Indeed, physical balance is often linked to our psychological well-being.
Seb shares some practical tips for working on balance:
These exercises can be integrated into training programs, whether in individual or group sessions.
In summary, balance is a fundamental element of movement. Whether to improve sports performance or for daily activities, working on your balance and vestibular system is essential. We encourage you to incorporate these tips into your training routine.
