Just as a tree can’t stand tall and strong without a steady trunk, humans need a strong core to support the rest of our bodies. The “core,” or the entire front and back of the torso region, creates a solid base of support for the spine, pelvis, shoulders, neck, and limbs. Core stabilization consists of strengthening the core muscles in order to achieve greater overall physical control.
Many patients who have experienced injuries to the neck, spine, or back need to strengthen not only the affected area but also the entire core. For this reason, many physical therapy routines will focus on — or at least incorporate — core stabilization exercises.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, core stabilization exercises for physical therapy are similar to the abdominal and back strengthening exercises commonly performed as part of a regular workout routine. Crunches, planks, and “supermans” are simple and reliable core strengthening exercises.
However, if you’re trying to strengthen your core in order to recover from an injury or counteract pain, it’s wise to work with a professional. An experienced, licensed physical therapist can help you develop a core strengthening plan that’s tailored to your condition and needs. It’s important to work with a professional to ensure that you maintain proper form and don’t further injure yourself.
