Three Questions with Meghann Koppele Duffy

Episode 68 - Is Balance Training Really Training Balance?


Listen Later

In this episode of Three Questions, I challenge one of the biggest assumptions in movement: that standing on one leg or wobbling on an unstable surface improves your balance. The truth is, your brain is constantly integrating information from your eyes, inner ear, muscles, joints, and skin… And if you're only challenging one system, you may be getting better at an exercise instead of becoming more adaptable in real life.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

  • Why sensory integration matters more than memorizing balance exercises
  • How to build balance that actually transfers to everyday life
  • Practical ways to integrate your visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems into almost any workout

Whether you're working with clients or working on yourself, I hope this episode helps you think beyond the typical balance exercises and toward building balance that actually transfers to everyday life.
