1/4h LabO #195: Proprioception - What Everyone Gets Wrong - Sebastien ZIMMER

Introduction to Proprioception

You’ve probably heard that to improve proprioception, all you need to do is perform exercises with your eyes closed or on unstable surfaces. However, this statement is incomplete. In reality, these misconceptions hide a much deeper problem.

Sébastien Zimmer's Journey

Welcome to the quarter-hour LabO, the weekly podcast that popularizes neuroscience. I am Sébastien, co-founder of LabOrNP, and I will share my journey with you.

A Learning Journey

My path began with a degree in STAPS up to the Master’s level. I quickly felt the need to explore disciplines that are rarely addressed in traditional training. So, I traveled and trained in areas such as functional neurology, primitive reflexes, and posturology.

Scientific Collaboration

This quest for knowledge led me to collaborate with a neuroscience lab in Lausanne. Thanks to this collaboration, I was able to connect different disciplines to solid scientific foundations and understand how the nervous system coordinates posture, movement, and performance.

Neuropostural Reprogramming

Together with my colleagues Adrien and Romain, we developed a comprehensive system: neuropostural reprogramming. This system allows us to assess postural imbalances, understand their origins, and propose targeted solutions to optimize performance and prevent injuries.

Proprioception: An Essential Key

Proprioception is one of the keys to our system, but it is often misunderstood. It is the ability of our brain to represent our body in space and time. Every movement, whether catching a ball or lifting a load, depends on this internal representation.

Common Training Mistakes

Unfortunately, traditional methods for working on proprioception are based on misconceptions. Exercises like squats on unstable surfaces or maximum intensity joint rotations do not correct imbalances.

Practical Webinar

If these concepts resonate with you, don’t miss the webinar next Thursday with Adrien and Romain. We will share practical tools that can be directly applied in your professional practice.

What You Will Learn

• Why proprioception is often misunderstood.
• How to assess effectively to avoid common mistakes.
• Practical exercises to apply immediately.

A Specific Training Program

As with every webinar, you will receive a specific training program based on the RNP system, easy to implement and effective for testing these approaches with your clients.

Conclusion

The solutions I will share during the webinar are not theoretical. I first applied them to myself after a knee injury and tested them with my clients. Today, they are used by professionals trained in our system.
