What's Core Got To Do With It?

For someone challenged with a repetitive stress injury of the wrist or a knee problem, a question that might arise is, "What has the core got to do with my problem?" This is a good question, because there seems to be a more obvious relationship with back pain or hip pain when we discuss the core. The core equates to our center. All movements emanate from the core. For instance, If you are handwriting a letter at your desk for twenty minutes, you may experience "writer's cramp." This is when the small muscles in your hand become overworked. These working muscles are anchored on the wrist. Muscles that cross over the elbow joint dictate the position of the wrist. Muscles that cross over the shoulder joint control the elbow joint's position. And the muscles that cross over the shoulder joint are anchored to our core. ~ Anthony B. Carey "The Pain-Free Program"

Core matters and affects shoulders, neck, arms, back, hips, and knees. Weak core = weak everything. Working the core incorrectly = more pain and no gains! Let's change this at veryeffectivefitness.com
