The Core Strength & Back Pain Connection You may be surprised to know that issues with the neck and back frequently stem from issues with core strength. Your core refers to the muscles that make up your torso, including your abdomen. These muscles are called the core because they are at the center of your body, and they are necessary in just about every action that you engage in. Sitting, walking, running, swimming, driving, etc., all require you to engage your core. There are a lot of reasons to improve core strength outside of any existing neck or back pain. When you improve your core, you are likely to also improve your posture and thereby reduce your risk of developing further back pain in the future. Furthermore, exercises that help to improve core strength are often helpful in promoting weight loss. For those who are overweight, this could also help reduce pain in the neck and the back.
