 One of the biggest ‘buzz words’ of the moment is The Core! There are many definitions that we could use, however, most simply it is described as the stability system of the trunk/ abdominal region. A healthy core system should actually switch on before you begin to move and stabilise the body during actions brought about by the larger muscles of the body. However, if we experience back pain, abdominal inflammation (like IBS) or even continuously poor posture, our core muscles can malfunction. This can lead to further pain, and if not treated, additional problems in the future. Correct core activation can be a tricky business and requires a one on one initial review and instruction. Once this is established, private or group Pilates classes are excellent to continue with your core strengthening and integration of this strength into your every day life. Beware of any ‘Core’ training progrms that involve lots of sit-ups! This is not what core training is really about. Join us to learn the truth about training your real ‘core’.
