CORE STABILITY
What does core stability mean and why is it so critical for injury rehabilitation and prevention?
Core stability: The ability to use the deep musculature in the torso and pelvis to maintain stability during movement
Using the core appropriately helps to support the back during movement; very important for those with back pain.
The core is made up of a number of muscles that compresses the torso, acting like a brace. They support, but not limit, movement.
Research shows when a person experiences lower back pain, the core muscles dysfunction. Therefore, they need to be retrained and strengthened.
Core stability is critical for injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
