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.
