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.

Back Braces & Supports

Back pain is one of the commonest problems we suffer today. Many people require spinal support for a variety of reasons, whether it be after surgery or rehabilitation from previous injury.

Support belts are often used when the sacro iliac joint is weakened due to injury. This joint is particularly at risk in pregnant women.

Back support may be required for the lower back during your working day or in the gym.

Lumbar supports made from thicker fabrics such as neoprene, provide warmth, helping the muscles to relax whilst providing support.

Posture
Weakened muscles in the back and lower abdomen, lead to back problems and many back supports help posture correction.

Gym Ball

Core stability is the training of the core muscles of the body, which are responsible for posture, spinal support and balance.

Muscles in this group include, lower abdominals, buttocks, upper leg and spine.

Swiss balls, were a physiotherapy tool first used in Switzerland.

Invented by Mr Aquilino Cosani, a plastics manufacturer in Italy in 1963.

Gym balls are now found in many locations around the world.

Core training
The core muscles without training, become weaker, resulting in poor posture and are a forgotten part of many exercise programes.

Incorporating many of the examples illustrated in this book will help to tone and strengthen this muscle group.

Swiss Ball for Strength Tone and Posture features exercises suitable for the absolute beginner, seniors and mums to be.
