STRENGTHEN YOUR CORE FOR BETTER BALANCE AND STABILITY These powerful muscles allow you to maintain upright positions and flex the spine properly. In addition to aiding in balance and stability, core exercises help to promote weight loss or weight maintenance, stabilize blood pressure, boost energy, and improve circulation. COMMON SYMPTOMS OF AN IMBALANCE DISORDER If you have a balance disorder, you might experience these symptoms:
Are you struggling with your balance? Do you often feel unsteady when standing and walking around? If you’re nodding your head to any of these questions, you may want to consider physical therapy at Reddy Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy for core strengthening. The muscles in your core help in harboring your center of gravity, which is why many physical therapy practices utilize core exercises for those who struggle with issues like dizziness and vertigo. If you want to improve your balance and strengthen your core, contact Reddy Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy to get started today!
• Dizziness or vertigo • Falling sensations • Trouble walking straight • Lightheadedness or feeling like you’re going to faint • Blurred vision • Confusion or disorientation
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CORE STRENGTH & BALANCE
Many people don’t know that your core is integral to physical balance. When your core muscles are strong, they can help prevent you from losing your balance or falling over. A strong core can also improve lower back pain and stop you from developing other injuries. It is a common misconception that when you work on your core, you’re just working toward toning your abs, but your core muscles are much more than that! The core is more complex and essential to our body’s function than you may think. There are two core muscles: your inner core and outer core. Both classes have their own unique properties. The inner core muscles are attached to the spine, helping to keep your body in its correct position. The outer core consists of the rectus abdominis, erector spinae, and obliques.
Symptoms can occur when walking, sitting, running, and engaging in physical activity. Many issues may cause a balance disorder, including traumatic brain injury, medication side effects, low blood pressure, and some neurological conditions.

HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP WITH CORE STRENGTH & STABILITY
OUR PATIENTS GET GREAT RESULTS!
Our physical therapists at Reddy Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy can help you improve your balance and increase your core strength with a wide range of exercises. Our team will start by assessing your specific situation. This will consist of a comprehensive evaluation and movement screening. We will have you perform a series of stationary and movement-based activities to identify any weaknesses or limitations affecting your balance. This information will help us design a program tailored to your specific needs. During sessions, you and your physical therapist will work on exercises that encourage static balance (sitting or standing still) and dynamic balance (moving and doing daily activities). Your therapist may also teach you how to respond to potential falls in order to prevent injury. Luckily, exercises are designed to fit all physical skill levels and the severity of conditions. During the treatment, your physical therapist will provide effective exercises tailored to your needs and overall comfort. Your therapist may use aerobic steps and stability ball training during your treatment. A few different exercises are performed with this type of equipment, such as the Seated Ball Balance and Ball Walks. Yoga balls focus on all areas of your body, allowing you to improve balance and stability without requiring strenuous exercise. During physical therapy, you may also work with weight lifting, which opens the chest, strengthens back muscles, and improves the range of motion. People who lift weights regularly notice a difference in posture and stability. Seeing a licensed physical therapist regularly helps you train your inner and outer core muscles for improved balance and range of motion.
