REDUCING PAIN. RESTORING FUNCTION. ACHIEVING GOALS. A STRONGER CORE MEANS A HEALTHIER YOU! “Improve Your Health By Focusing On Your Core”
(continued from outside)
These are all signs of core muscle weakness that can affect your posture and cause pain in your back or neck.
Your core muscles help you do a lot – from sitting, to walking, to doing a large number of physical activities. If your core muscles are weak, you may unknowingly be causing some damage to your body.
What Exactly Are The Core Muscles? When most people think of core muscles, they immediately think of the abdominals. However, the core is made up of much more than that! In fact, your core muscles include your abdominal, lower back, pelvic, and gluteus muscles. The group of muscles that make up your core help with stabilizing your body, constructing your posture, and allowing your skeleton to move properly. When any of the muscles within that group become weak, your body experiences an instability that makes it difficult for your body to function properly. As a result, you end up compensating by straining different areas of the body, most commonly the back and neck muscles. As a result, this leads to undesirable consequences, such as poor posture, fatigue, inflammation, or pain.
