Core Stability Training

All forms of movement begin at the center of the body called the core.  All athletes should first develop adequate core strength before beginning any other forms of exercise.  A strong core allows for functional strength, balance and efficient movement throughout the entire body.  Core exercises are designed to strengthen the area from the low back-pelvis-hip (lumbo-pelvic-hip), trunk (thoracic spine), and neck (cervical spine).  A strong core also helps athletes train with heavier loads which may help increase performance gains throughout the body.
