Essentials in Corrective Core Training for Injury Prevention and Special Populations

Essentials in Corrective Core Training for Injury Prevention and Special Populations

Popular “core” exercises like crunches and inadequate core training can lead to dysfunction and/or pain. Discover the essential tools to strengthen the core to prevent injuries, plus strategies for developing core training programs for specific populations. We’ll also break down a variety of core exercises and look at the effect they have on biomechanics. You won’t want to miss out on the latest developments in science-based core training, planes of motion and fascial lines for training functionally strong, pain-free bodies!
