Athletes as well as non-exercisers are susceptible to low back pain. Those who feel excruciating and debilitating low back pain after an injury or after a slight movement or twist wonder if they will ever live pain free. The question becomes: "What can be done to alleviate the pain so people can enjoy the functional and recreational activities they experienced in the past?" Dr. Heather has gone ahead and solved this problem for thousands of her patients by teaching them how to engage their core through a specific series of exercises. The book begins with the fundamentals, the anatomy/physiology and then from there you will get a comprehensive understanding of muscle firing patterns/muscle imbalances. By understanding your muscle imbalances you will then be able to understand how to activate your core in a way to decrease low back pain. Once the correct muscle firing patterns are activated then you are on your way to building a strong core. A strong foundational block. There are five basic core exercises within the book which have proven to eliminate low back pain when done correctly. These five exercises will give you the pain relief you have been looking for. No equipment required for these exercises. They can be done in the comfort of your own home. And Dr. Heather explains how to progress each exercise so you can advance them when you are ready.
