The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.

core muscles are those which take part in stabilization more rather than in producing movement. deep muscles of the back and neck are considered core muscles and isometric exercises are used to activate them. a pressure cuff can be used to note the strength of isometric contraction.
progression is made by challenging the muscles with weights in upper or lower limbs first in lying, then sitting and then in standing keeping the isometric contraction of the muscles.

I am a recent graduate, still learning this inspiring theory.
From my understanding, the "core" muscles are ones providing segmental staibility along spine during functional movement.
To activate the inhibited muscles through motor control learning rather than"strengthening". Most important, the activation training should carry out during functional activities at later stage.

Thanks all - to clarify, do you believe that the "core" muscles for the L/S and
SIJ are...
1. Multifidus
2. Transversus Abdominis
3. Diaphragm
4. pelvic floor
?
Are there more or less?
