Core Stability Exercises

The core of the human body consists of a region bounded by the abdominal wall, the pelvis, lower back and the diaphragm. The ability of this region to stabilize the human body during movement is critical to many bodily functions such as breathing, walking, running, lifting and other basic daily functions. The action of these muscles contracting together provides support to the spine and pelvis during movement. For people who have lost basic mobility functions, Watkins Health can employ core stability exercises that help regain vital basic functions and abilities to the human body. In daily practice, whenever a person moves to lift something or simply move to a different position, the core region is tensed first. The tension is usually unconscious and in conjunction with a breathing pattern. In providing core stability exercises, Watkins Health ensures that core stability is maintained as an essential to an upright posture, especially for movements and lifts that require extra effort and excess exertion on the body. The result of a weakened core could result in lower back pain, poor posture and lethargy, making core stability exercises more relevant for people experiencing weakness in the region.

Providing core stability exercises comes in a variety of methods and techniques developed to maximize results and improve the quality of life to the human body. Watkins Health provides different techniques and methods practice by our professional massage therapists, all designed to provide strength to the core of the body, improve mobility and eliminate any potential causes of lower back pain, lethargy or poor posture. In addition, part of the physical rehab program could include other parts of the body such as the legs, knees and arms that could play a potential role in strengthening your overall physical health. Core exercises could extend to other areas such as leg exercises, knee exercises and arm exercises. Although the core stability of the human body is critical, it also works on conjunction with the use of legs and arms among other body parts to provide support of regular movements and regular motion. Therefore, as part of core stability exercises, Watkins Health may find it beneficial to provide additional strengthening exercises that will help with the overall recovery and improvement of muscle motion. Many people employ such exercises at home on a regular basis, and our centre could be the first step you need to personal guidance on the issue. So, even if you do not choose a continuous participation with our facility, we can get you started on improving your mobility with proper practices.
