a good one for a isometric hold, would be the hollow hold for 15-20 seconds.
@keangkong6 ай бұрын
The hollow hold is a good exercise if you have already have strong transverse abdominis muscles. My back is quite sore right now because those muscles are not strong yet I insisted on doing a hollow hold.

Is it possible for a weak TVA to lead to quad pain whilst running?, i have a weak lower back due to poor core stability which has led to the femoral nerve from the back being irritated when running causing quad pain down the front of the leg. My physio has suggested this as a diagnosis for my painful quads when no other treatment has worked. Very interested in Physical Therapy Nation's thoughts, thank you.

How are you now?
@anthonybunch80442 жыл бұрын
Because you are tensing the wrong muscles. You are tensing the Abs by mistake. I used to be confused too until i realized my mistake. I recommend practicing locating the Transverse Abdominus for a week first. A few times a day doing contractios from 5 to eventually 10 seconds...think of and visualize tightening a band under your navel (actually a inch under) The band wraps around your lower back too. Like the Back Brace belt that Movers or heavy object lifting Guys wear. Once you get used to visualizing exactly where you need to tighten, youll realize it has very little to do with the diaphragm and lungs moving up and down, which is much higher up

Side planks are considered by many to the best the QL exercise. I would recommend looking at the McGill Big 3 exercises for proper form and such.

I am 6 wks postpartum after my fourth pregnancy. My body has had 4 pregnancies for the last 13 yrs. First child and second child are 5 yrs apart and 6yrs between second and third. The gap between 3rd and 4th is 20 months. I've gained weight and have extra belly fat, how do I feel for something that's extremely weak and covered?? 🥴

the "bring your belly button to your spine" cue hasn't been used since the days of Jane Fonda. This is not an adequate representation of how our TVA works or contracts. And to think that people in the industry are still spouting this nonsense. Update your knowledge.
