We are seeing an increasing number of people who have fallen victim to an often misguided approach to exercise regimes. This has led to back pain and/or related hip and leg problems which can be linked to improperly training their core. Very few people have good true core control and dynamic stability of the spine which may lead to spinal injuries.

Core muscles do not only consist of the abdominal musculature. They also include the trunk, pelvic and quite importantly the muscles of the hips and shoulders. There is no single muscle or single exercise for low back problems and motor control/core stability as a treatment. Physiotherapists are aware of the key concepts in motor control and exercise. At Focus Physio, we follow an evidence based approach to your exercise prescription.

A strong core can lead to the improvement of your everyday life, injury prevention, chronic back pain reduction and enhanced sports performance.

Core stability is such an important area of your health and wellbeing. If you need treatment or advice, simply click here ☞ MAKE A BOOKING
