Core Stability

Core training works on strengthening the deep stomach and pelvic floor muscles that support the lower back, thus avoiding repetitive back problems. The aim of core stability is to provide a stable platform for the rest of the body to work with.

Regular core stability training protects the spine, decreases chronic back pain and helps improve athletic performance.

One-to-one or small group sessions are available.

The muscle groups involved are:

Transversus Abdominus - this muscle acts like a natural corset attaching to the transverse processes of the spine and fascia posteriorly and to the fascia under the '6 pack'.
Glut. max./Glut. med. (buttocks) - these attach into the stabilising fascia in the lumbar spine and into the legs.  Deep Spinal muscles ( Multifudus/Quadratus Lumborum/erector spinae) - these control each spinal segment.
