Sorry Gcoe, but there was really no need for all that. I haven't even read your full response as it has nothing to do with my original question. At no point did I indicate a want for a debate, I just wanted some ideas from fellow physios re core stability and the best way to teach it. I gave no indication of my patients problems, goals, or treatment preference but you were too quick to get over excited about whether core stability exercise is evidence based which is irrelevant to my original question. If I was interested in people's view of the use of it that is what I would have asked. J
