Stabilization: The core and beyond
This paper, published in Structural Integration, The Journal of the Rolf Institute, describes the research and biomechanics of core stabilization and suggests a dynamic approach to the concept of “core.” Instead of a center of holding or accumulation, it is conceived as “empty,” a center of circulation. Important information for those working with back pain!
