Core Stability retraining involves isolating and contracting the deep postural muscles (multifidus and transversus abdominis muscles) in the core or trunk. These are the deepest layers of your abdominal and back muscles. In individuals with no back pain, these core stability muscles automatically isolate prior to movement, to stabilise the spine. In patients with back instability, these core stability muscles lack the ability to contract appropriately.
This inability, places undue stress upon the spine, hips, knees and ankles when performing exercises that utilize the power muscles such as cycling, running, pilates, exercises ball etc. However, there may be a need for these types of rehabilitation following the completion of the back program and once the core stability muscles are activating correctly.
Over time, these muscles may no longer activate, when required, due to injury, pregnancy or abdominal surgery.If you have a recent, recurrent or long term back injury, have under gone abdominal surgery, have had a child or would just like to avoid future injury, you may benefit from an accurate assessment of your core stability with the ultrasound imager.
