RRH Wellness Wednesday: Core Strength, Activation and Back Pain
Wednesday, November 6 *12:15 – 1 pm: Aud C and on Zoom
Believe it or not, almost every move you make comes from your core which includes the muscles in your abdominals and back. Maintaining core muscle strength is a primary factor in maintaining an active life and one without back pain. Core strength is paramount to being able to keep up with activities of daily living from balance, bending, lifting, standing and supporting your lower back.
Please join our RRH Physical Therapist expert Erica Gurak as she educates us on core strength and activation. She will instruct us on simple yet effective exercises we can do to engage the core prior to any movement. She will also discuss core activation and how it relates to back pain. Erica will coach us on integrating core activation with better postures and safe lifting mechanics. She will also help us differentiate between safe and unsafe exercises that are related to back pain. Please consider joining us to learn about core strength and more!
