Core Stabilization
If you have been struggling with pain or feeling that one side is uneven, isolation and compound training for your muscle groups may not exactly be the thing that you want to focus on.
Your core is extremely important, as it helps you to balance your energy and power throughout the body. Everything starts with a strong and stable core, regardless of your skill level or sport.
The experienced team at Corrective Physical Therapy in Scottsdale, AZ, is proud to serve the local community with quality physical therapy services. These include stabilizing your inner and outer core so that you can achieve balance and stability harmoniously, improving your athletic opportunities and activities.
What is Core Stabilization?
Core stabilization refers to the ability to maintain a stable posture and control movement through the coordinated action of the core muscles.
These muscles include the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, obliques, and lower back muscles.
Why is Core Strength Important?
Your core is the root of your power and stability. Here’s why it is crucial to train your core properly:
- Improved Posture: A strong core helps you maintain proper posture, reducing strain on your back and neck.
- Enhanced Athletic Performance: Core strength is crucial for many sports, including golf, tennis, and soccer.
- Reduced Risk of Injury: A strong core can help stabilize your spine and protect it from injury.
