I just wrote this comment on a Pilates discussion: I always tell my clients that strengthening your core is a misnomer. It is a quick and not necessarily correct explanation. It is really about correct timing and endurance. It has been shown in clinical research that the multifidus fires at a different time in those who never experience back pain to those who do. Muscles act as agonist and antagonist. If we move a short tight muscle the same as the lengthened one, what did we accomplish... Exacerbation of a muscle imbalance. A posture and gait analysis and muscle testing with a Pilates specialist provides the information needed to design a program to correct imbalances caused by poor posture, injury etc.
