Re: What do you believe are the "core" muscles and how is the best way to activate them?

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?

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.
