Strengthening:Stabilization

Strength training is essential to prevent aging, increase function and decrease pain.  The musculo-skeletal system requires a basic level of strength and endurance in order to protect itself from pain and injury. Muscles need a good supply of blood and oxgyen in order to be maintained at peak performance. Regular exercise maintains this blood supply and good posture.

Poor posture or muscle spasms can deprive the cells and tissues in your muscles of a good supply of blood and oxygen. Often muscles acting on a joint are out of balance and therefore unstable. Various one-sided activities (i.e. golf) can create muscle imbalances. These unequal forces can make the joint weaker and more vulnerable, which in return can cause pain or injury. We can develop a specific program of stretching and strengthening exercises to bring the muscles back into balance, creating stability and better posture.

Strong core muscles are key to your body's stability, proper alignment and posture.
