Your core is more than just abdominal muscles. It includes the deep muscles of your abdomen, back, hips, and pelvis that work together to keep your body stable during everyday movements.
🧍♂️ What Is Core & Trunk Stability?
Core stability allows you to:
• Sit and stand with good posture
• Walk safely and efficiently
• Lift objects without injury
• Maintain balance
• Transfer in and out of bed or chairs
• Protect your spine during movement
When core muscles are weak or not firing properly, the body compensates—often leading to back pain, poor posture, balance issues, and increased fall risk.
⚠️ Common Causes of Poor Core Stability
• Prolonged sitting
• Low back pain or prior injuries
• Aging-related muscle loss
• Poor posture
• Neurological conditions
• Deconditioning after illness or surgery
💪 How Physical & Occupational Therapy Helps
Our therapists focus on functional core strengthening, not just crunches.
Treatment may include:
✔️ Deep core activation
✔️ Trunk and postural strengthening
✔️ Balance and coordination training
✔️ Safe lifting and movement mechanics
✔️ Hands-on manual therapy
✔️ Functional exercises tailored to daily activities
🏠 Why In-Home Therapy Is Effective
We train your core during real-life, functional tasks—getting out of bed, reaching, bending, lifting, and walking—right in your own home. This ensures the strength you build actually translates into safer, more confident movement.
✨ The Goal: Improve stability, reduce pain, prevent falls, and support long-term independence.
