Core Stabilization
What is core stability?
Core stability is making the muscles of your trunk stronger to keep your spine and body stable. Core weakness can lead to injury and pain. “Recent research has provided a somewhat different perspective by emphasizing the importance of spinal muscles in maintaining and restoring spinal stability, shifting from immobilization to stabilization.” (Fritz, Cleland and Childs)
Without core stability we leave our body vulnerable to injury and negatively affect our performance in our daily lives. Simple things like lifting a box or playing with our children, to higher level activities like hiking, running and dancing become potentially dangerous.
