Utilizing the Core

Why is it so important to utilize the core during sports rehab for any injury?

The core encompasses the muscles of the back and abdomen which takes up a large part of the body. By building core strength, athletes support the limbs during functional movements like throwing, sprinting, jumping and landing motions. Core strengthening is key to providing a full body rehab program for an athlete and helps prevent injury to the spine and extremities, allowing the athlete to continue playing for years to come.
