CORE CONDITIONING / POSTURAL CORRECTION

The body is made up of bones, forming our 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.

Posturtal change is usually affected by the the repeatative positions which you maintain through out the day.

For Example:

The postural adaptation, which occurs from doing, a lot of 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 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 vertibrea need to be fused.

WHAT ABOUT THE CORE?

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

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

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

If you have ever seen a person with a 6 pack of stomach muscles, which actually dome outwards, this is because the core muscles are weak.

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

Weak core muscles result in a loss of the spines natural curve,

poor balance, which could lead to other injuries,

a general collapse of the midsection exacerbating other postural conditions.
