Posture and Core Stability
The blue air bag is inflated using the hand pump. This is then placed against a specific part of the body, such as the lower back, trunk or neck, depending on the specific exercise.
The user then contracts the specific muscles which provide postural support. Research has shown that by being able to contract these postural muscles back pain and neck pain can be prevented and resolved. The Stabiliser helps by giving visual feedback that lets the user know whether they are using the correct technique.
With the correct technique the pressure reading on the dial changes, depending on the exercise the person is doing. The dial provides visual feedback and significantly improves the quality of the contraction of specific muscles during back exercises and neck exercises.
By improving these postural or ‘core stability’ muscles, spinal stability is greatly improved. Research has proved that this is very effective in the treatment of back pain in conditions such as Slipped Disc or Sciatica.
The Stabilizer can also be used for the prevention and treatment of neck pain.
