Here are my 2 favorite core stabilization exercises for active people and athletes! Not my favorite to do, but my favorite outcomes!
Our mobility comes from thoracic spine or your mid-back, pelvis and hips. Power comes from our hips as mentioned in an earlier video. What happens in the low back (lumbar spine)? We want and need stabilization!
Give these two core exercises a try and let me know how they go. Do you love them or love to hate them? Be sure to share with someone else who might benefit from these.
If you have any questions about your pain or if physical therapy might be right for you, please call Pin Point Physical Therapy at 704-612-6797 or email gmorrissey@pinpoint-pt.com. I’m happy to answer your questions.
