Unlocking The Power of The Core: Strength Exercises and Back Pain


Core Strength

Welcome to our blog post, where we delve into the crucial world of core strength, exercises, and their profound impact on combating back pain. In today's fast-paced lifestyle, where long hours at desks and sedentary routines have become the norm, maintaining a strong and well-supported core is essential not only for optimal physical health but also to ward off the often debilitating specter of back pain. Join us as we explore effective exercises and expert insights that can empower you to build a resilient core, alleviate back discomfort, and reclaim a life free from the constraints of daily discomfort.






Let's take a quick look at the layers of the core in this Essential Anatomy App video



The main take away from this clip is that the 6-pack muscle (rectus) is fairly superficial and does not directly wrap around/interact with the lumbar spine. However the transversus and internal oblique do. This is important!

















This diagram is one of my favorites to depict how injuries can go undetected for a while, and finally appearing without a reason/cause that can be picked out. Notice that, although without symptoms, it does not mean that a person is 100% healthy. We can quickly move into the "red" zone of being symptomatic from a state of symptom free. The main point of this is to maintain the body above the "smart" or "symptom" line. It's a process that involves consistency and dedication to a life of wellness.
