Weak Core

Have you ever wondered if your core was working?

Have you tried different core exercises but have either had pain with them or a lack of improvement?

Do you have back tension or pain?

 

If you have answered yes to any of these questions the COR Strength Project is for you.

 

The best way to tell if your core is working is to SEE IT

If we can SEE your core we can TRAIN IT

 

We use diagnostic ultrasound to SEE your CORE work in real time. This takes away any guessing and creates a fast and very successful opportunity to train your core.

 

Watch this video on the COR Strength Project

NO ONE should have to live with a weak or unhealthy core! You can get tested for $39 by an experienced practitioner.

What is Targeted Core Training?

 

Once we have assessed your core through diagnostic ultrasound we use this amazing imaging device to train your core. This is called Targeted Core Training™

 

Individualized Exercise Programs

 

We can individualize a program to suit your unique needs based on our testing. As we try different exercises the ones that cause your core to engage are the ones you will focus on at home.

 

Check out this video on Targeted Core Training™

You can get tested for $39 by an experienced practitioner.

Why diagnostic ultrasound?

 

Through years of research using diagnostic ultrasound, fine wire EMG and even functional MRI Paul W Hodges PT PhD has pioneered our understanding of how our core works. During our study of core function over the last 6 years Cornerstone adopted diagnostic ultrasound to better treat our clients. It just made sense! If you could see how the core was working you could effectively TRAIN IT!

 

SEEING your core allows us to TRAIN your core

 

Causes of a weak core

 

Any previous back or pelvic injury can stop your core from working. Following the birth of your child can cause your core to be weaker, especially if there was any injury to your hips or pelvis during labor. The research has shown that even though your back or pelvic pain resolves you can still have a weak core after the pain goes away!

 

After a back or pelvic injury your core may still be weak!

 

 

A weak core may cause degeneration to your spine

 

You don't need your core...but boy it's useful! While we don't need to have a working core to live life there is a draw back of not having your core do its job. Everytime you pick up a heavy object, pull on a stuck door, pick up your child or do a core exercise, if your core is not working you will use your very powerful hip flexors and back muscles. The problem with doing this is that these muscles sit close to your spine and do not have leverage. The result is back compression and increased tension. This can lead to what we call micro-trauma of the lower lumbar facet joints. This micro-trauma can cause degeneration over time, disc injuries as well as ligament injuries leading to bone spurs!

Micro-trauma can cause degeneration over time, disc injuries as well as ligament injuries leading to bone spurs!

Over a year ago I suffered a ruptured appendix, abdominal surgery and then an infection. My core was not working. This limited my ability to hike and run with tension and pain to my trunk. Targeted Core Training™ has improved my core and my ability to live my life again! Seeing my core function in real time allowed me to start engaging my core, reducing my pain and tension, and push beyond my limits.

 

This is my COR Strength story! Check it out!

What symptoms are common with a weak or unhealthy core?

 

Runners with painful hips and knees

Sciatica from piriformis muscle tension

Back pain and tension

Calf and lateral thigh tension responds well

Stretching throughout the day

Waking up stiff

A feeling like your trunk is just not stable

Back pain with certain yoga poses or plank exercises

Pain or discomfort with lifting heavy objects or your child

 

Back Tension = Weak Core

 

What to expect with Targeted Core Training™?

 

Through the COR Strength Screen and then Targeted Core Training you will learn how to engage your core. We have found that on average 3 training sessions are needed to achieve success. For athletes and those of us that are weekend warriors another more advanced training session or two may be required. Once you get your core working again you can get back to living without limits.

Diagnostic Ultrasound is the best way to SEE if your core is working and to TRAIN IT.
