CORE CONDITIONING / POSTURAL CORRECTION

The body is made up of bones, forming the skeleton. The skeleton is held into position by muscles.

Muscles need to be exercised to retain tone (tension).

If the muscle tone is not maintained, your posture will begin to change.

Postural change is usually affected by the the repetative positions which you maintain throughout the day.

For Example:

The postural adaptation, which occurs from doing excess desk or computer work.

This repeated position causes the chest muscles to shorten and the upper back muscles to lengthen.

As the upper back muscles are continuously under strain, they become weak, tired and painful.

Strengthening & shortening the upper back muscles & stretching the chest muscles can easily correct this occupational adaptation.

Postural adaption can affect almost any muscle joint combination in the body and even lead to severe back problems where vertibrae need to be fused.

WHAT ABOUT THE CORE?

If you had to envisage a woman wearing a corset, this is where the core muscles can be located on the body.

The core muscles (transverse abdominis) are often confused with the stomach muscles (abdominals and obliques).

The abdominals are often thought to be responsible for the entire midsection stability and the core muscles are often neglected because these muscles can not be seen.

It is infact possible to have a 6 pack of stomach muscles, which actually dome outwards, because the core muscles have been neglected and are weak.

The core muscles provide a stabilising effect on the entire torso for every movement that you make. They provide crucial support to the midsection and are usually weak in people who have lower back problems.

Weak core muscles can be responsible for the loss of the spine's natural curve and poor balance, which in turn could lead to other injuries.

Over the years weak and unconditioned core muscles will eventually result in a general collapse of the midsection exacerbating other postural conditions.
