What is the core?

  • The core works with the rest of the body to produce and reduce movement and to stabilize against unwanted movements in the spine.
  • It is designed to resist motion in the 3 planes applied to the body.
    • Exercises designed to strengthen the core and provide stability should address resisting movement in these planes--transverse, sagittal, and frontal.
