Say goodbye to back pain: power up your deep core stabilizers! ⚡️

The Transverse Abdominus: a subtle but crucial component of your core function. Hey there, Reader! 🌟 Happy Monday, friends! 🌟 … and welcome to another edition of our ongoing mini-series, Mobility Monday! We figured we could make the transition into the week a little sweeter by sharing ✨FREE✨ movement and mobility sequences and techniques with you all. Today’s exercise is all about activating your Transverse Abdominus (also known as the TVA), one of your main deep core stabilizers. This muscle sets the foundation for good function in the core, which in turn provides crucial support throughout all your movements, and enables efficient function in the limbs. Give it a try and let us know how this goes for you! In under 10 minutes, we’ll talk you through how to find and deliberately engage the TVA, and provide an option to challenge your strength there. The TVA acts as a natural “corset” for your lower back and abdominal region, so better function here not only enhances core strength but can also prevent and alleviate pesky lower back pain. You can follow along with this week's video here: (** Please note that not every movement is suitable for all bodies. Please listen to your body and defer to your medical provider if you have any concerns, injuries, or conditions that affect your movement, or are unsure if a particular movement is safe for you! **) We’ll be back next Monday with a new video for you. In the meantime, feel free to reach out with requests for particular mobility or mindfulness sequences - we're here to help! Have a great week, friends! Let's move better, together. Did you know that developing better core strength is just one of the fracture risk prevention angles our Strength Training & Yoga for Osteoporosis program covers? A stronger core means better support and stability for the lumbar spine, one of the most common sites of density loss and fracture 🦴 Hop on at 4:30 pm Eastern Time on February 12th to meet our osteo team and have your questions answered, directly by the experts.
