Paul is 46 and runs two to three marathons each year.
He hasn't been running as much as usual this winter, but signed up for the
Boston Marathon, and has been working on a strict regimen and increasing
his miles each week.
Part of his weekly workout is to take a long run each weekend, and last
week he ran 12 miles. Since then, Paul has had pain in his right hip that
extends to his knee. He fears he may not be able to run long distances
again, or have arthritis.
Mary is 15. She plays high school lacrosse. She began having pain in her
kneecaps after two-a-day workouts to start the season, and although she
uses ice and takes it easy in practice, the pain keeps getting worse.
Mary sometimes cries on the way home from practice. She has to take pain
medication to sleep most nights. Even though her team is doing well and
shes become a pivotal player, Mary is considering quitting because her
knees hurt so much.

The solution for each patient is to work on the injured joint AND make
their cores stronger. It seems strange why look at an athletes back when
the elbow or knee hurts? These examples show how important the core is to
connecting the upper and lower body. Most sports require an athlete to
generate tremendous forces through the lower body. If the core isnt strong
enough, the forces dont end up where they belong. Injuries can follow.
Over the years, doctors have discovered that conditioning the core takes a
lot more than doing crunches. The core muscle group is composed of the
back muscles, muscles in the sides of the abdomen, and the six-pack
abdominal muscles in front. These muscles have to work with other small
and large muscles in the hips, middle back, and even inside our abdomens.
If even one of these muscles isnt doing the right thing, or if its doing
the right thing at the wrong time: presto the athlete has problems.
