Proprioception Isn’t Optional

Former Top 10 Pro Athlete → Neuroscientist → Startup Founder

Dr. Jo Shattuck’s journey is wild: from cleaning carpets while living in a camper… to becoming a world-ranked athlete, then a neuroscience PhD, and now the founder of PantherTec. In this episode, Jo breaks down how we’ve been teaching movement wrong — and what proprioception, kinesthetic dissonance, and wearable tech have to do with fixing it.

???? Learn how PantherTec’s CAT device is helping athletes, patients, and clinicians unlock real body awareness — not just motion but meaning.

???? Topics Covered:

• What proprioception really is (and why most people don’t train it)
• Why your “internal body model” determines performance and safety
• How kinesthetic dissonance is changing rehab and movement coaching
• The limits of verbal cues and video — and why “feel” matters more
• How PantherTec’s tech is creating ah-ha moments in just minutes
• The true cost of wasted reps — and how to eliminate them
• Plus: chainsaw stories, social proprioception, black panthers, and one killer parting shot

???? Clinicians, athletes, coaches — if you've ever said "they just don’t get it" during a session, this episode is your wake-up call.
