Core Stabilization

Is This the Right Program for You?

If several of the following apply to you, your core stability may need attention:

• Your back feels "wobbly" or "unstable"
• You experience repeated episodes of acute back pain (several times a year)
• Coughing or sneezing triggers a sudden jolt of pain in your back
• Unexpected movements — tripping, turning around quickly — cause sharp pain
• When your back hurts, you can't find a comfortable position no matter what you try
• Your pain doesn't clearly worsen with one specific direction (bending forward or backward)

People with this pattern often find that the problem isn't about a particular direction of movement. Instead, the issue is a weakened ability to support the spine from the inside.
