Can A Strong Core Reduce… Even Eliminate Your Joint Pain?
ReplyDeleteYou may have heard that a strong core is important for physical fitness.
Unfortunately, what you’ve heard probably starts and stops with your abs, so you get a “sexy,” ripped” six-pack. That practically guarantees joint pain.
Why?
If your core is weak, your joints compensate by bearing weight that your muscles can’t. Then target one muscle in particular and all the other weak muscles compensate, stressing your joints even more.
Sooner, rather than later, that stress leads to joint pain in a vicious, downward spiral.
What you probably haven’t heard is how a strong core can protect your joints, even end joint pain at the source.
Because your core is a system of 29 pairs of muscles.
But until now, this knowledge has been the exclusive professional secret of the very best sports doctors and physical therapists working for professional sports teams.
Most of us just don’t have access to doctors and physical therapists who know how to teach you to engage, activate and above all, balance your core muscles.
Quickly, without expensive equipment, complicated protocols, or spending several hours a day in physical therapy.
Until now, thanks to former NBA pro and chronic joint pain relief expert Jonathan Bender. Who has a gift for making the complicated. Simple and easy.
