Why We Love A Bit of Core




 


  • The Transversus Abdominus (TVA), so called for the direction of its fibres, is the innermost/deepest of the major abdominal muscles.
  • TVA contracts to increase intra-abdominal pressure providing both pelvic and hip stability.
  • A well conditioned TVA helps to support all the vital organs within the abdomen. 
  • It is without doubt the major stabiliser of the lower back.
  • Poor diet and faulty posture can easily inhibit the abdominal muscles, in particular the TVA – leading to insufficient co-ordination & strength which commonly results in back injury. 
  • This is why at All About You, we continuously ask you to 'draw your belly button in' and take the time to ensure all of our clients perform Transversus Abdominus exercises correctly.
