Stabilizes the Lower Back

If you are experiencing lower back pain after pregnancy or abdominal surgery such as a C-section or hysterectomy, this could result in decreased core, back strength. By incorporating a core workout routine at home, beginning with exercises like bridge lifts or toe taps, you can strengthen those core back muscles, adding stability to your back and spine, and possibly reducing your pain.

Enhances Flexibility & Stability

Engaging your core muscles with strengthening exercises can target the transverse abdominis, diaphragm, and pelvic floor muscles increasing the stability of your spine. Strengthening these specific muscles can improve the stability of the spine while allowing for more flexibility in your everyday movements.
