Core Stability: |
|
|
Core stability training is
essential to stabilize your body, for better functional
movements, improves posture and to prevent injuries. The
muscles of the torso (Trunk) stabilize the spine and provide
better base for movement in the limbs.
These core muscles lie deep within the torso. They generally
attach to the spine, pelvis and muscles that support the
scapula. When these muscles contract, we stabilize the
spine, pelvis and shoulders and create a solid base of
support. We are then able to generate powerful movements
of the limbs.
The biggest benefit of core training is to develop functional
fitness - that is, fitness that is essential to both daily
living and regular activities.
The concepts of core strengthening programs involve using
many muscles in a coordinated movement rather than isolating
a specific joint as in most weight training, stability
exercises focus on working the deep muscles of the entire
torso at once.
Abdominal bracing or vacuuming is the main technique used
during core exercise training. It refers to the contraction
of the of the abdominal muscles. To correctly brace, you
should attempt to pull your navel back in toward your
spine. This action primarily recruits transverse abdominus.
Be careful not to hold your breath - you should be able
to breathe evenly while bracing.
Other exercises that develop core strength include exercises
on a stability ball, work with medicine balls, wobble
boards and Pilate's exercise programs. Yoga is also an
excellent way to build core strength. For further details
on core stability workout you can contact Binny (Manager)
or Dr. Arun (Physiotherapist) from Wadala Branch. |
