Hello,
The TA posts have been prolific and interesting. I wonder if there are
not two different discussions occuring at the sme time though. My
understanding of TA, core stability... training is that it is geared to
people with low back pain- chronic and acute. The theory being that there
is a reflex inhibition of the "stabilizing" muscle of the injured
segment with the TA,Multifidus and pelvic floor being considered primary
stabilizers because of the pain. If a person does not have LBP, chronic
or acute, would they have a problem with the recruitment of this
stabilizing system? If so weight lifters and manual laborers without LBP
are using this system as the theory suggests and do not require
stabilization training.
Thanks for reading.
