Core Strength Program
Refer A Friend
The “core” is actually made up of 7 different muscle groups: upper rectus abdominus, lower rectus abdomninus, right obliques, left obliques, right hip abductors, left hip abductors and lumbar extensors.
Many people have a weak core, which greatly affects the spine, because 80% of spinal stability comes from the core muscles. It is very important to strengthen the core in any one with back pain. But why strengthen the entire core, when parts of it are not weak? In our Core Strength Program, we measure the strength / endurance in each of the 7 core muscle groups. Most patients are weak in only 3 - 5 of the areas. So why waste time working on the other 2 - 4 muscle groups. We measure what is weak. Then we get to work on strengthening only the muscle groups that are weak. Then we reassess to make sure that those muscle groups reach normal levels of strength / endurance. We find that in at least 90% of patients, once their core strength is normal, their pain has largely resolved.
