“Chris, Jeff and the warm and welcoming staff at Dresher PT helped me become pain free from my sciatica issues. Their knowledge is so impressive and the facility is a cheerful place to get the help that is needed. It didn’t take long for me to return to pain free activities, and I will continue doing the prescribed stretches at home. I highly recommend Dresher PT.” - Judy E.

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. Sometimes, when your core is weak, it can cause you to experience added pressure on areas like your neck and back. There are a lot of ways that working with a physical therapist can help you improve your core strength. For example, you may be encouraged to practice core exercises, which may include abdominal crunches or leg lifts. Light weight-training activities are also frequently helpful, as are balance-based activities like yoga. If you haven’t spent much time building core strength in the past, then working with a physical therapist is a great place to start. Your physical therapist will guide you through proper postures and movements to reduce further risk of injury. Contact us TODAY! We can help you!
