Why Core Work Doesn't Solve Back Pain
Core work alone doesn't solve back pain. You need to address the root causes.
The Core Work Trap
You have back pain, so you strengthen your core. You do planks, crunches, dead bugs. Your core gets stronger, but your back still hurts. Why?
Because back pain isn't usually a core weakness problem. It's a structural problem, an alignment problem, or a movement pattern problem. Strengthening your core doesn't address those.
Why Core Work Fails
Structural Restrictions
If your fascia is restricted, your back compensates. Strengthening your core doesn't release those restrictions.
Alignment Issues
If your pelvis isn't aligned properly, your back compensates. Learn about alignment in the body.
Compensation Patterns
If your hips don't move well, your back compensates. Strengthening your core doesn't address hip restrictions. Learn about compensation patterns.
Movement Patterns
If you move in ways that don't serve your structure, your back compensates. You need to change the movement patterns, not just strengthen your core.
The Real Solution
Address the root causes. Release structural restrictions. Address alignment issues. Address compensation patterns. Change movement patterns. Then strengthen your core in ways that support your structure.
