Core Stability for Effective Back and Neck Pain Management

Core Concepts offers core stability exercise training for effective back and neck pain management by qualified physiotherapist trainers

SINGAPORE May 15, 2004 - Singaporeans who suffer from chronic back and neck pains can now learn exercises that specifically target the weak supporting back muscles from Singapore dedicated core stability training centre, Core Concepts.

General exercises such as running and swimming are great for general fitness conditioning but often does little or nothing for the core muscles that lie deep within the trunk. Those with chronic back and neck pains should supplement their exercise regime with core stability exercises that specifically target their core muscles.

Speaking at an open day event at Core Concept today with free trial exercise classes, Sylvia Ho, a physiotherapist at the centre, explained that a large number of back and neck pain cases are due to weak postural muscles. For persons with chronic pains, these key core muscles are often weak and have poor endurance.

Ms Tan Lin Chueen, 34, a senior executive at local IT firm, suffered from constant neck and shoulder pain, and migraine headaches. Because of my headaches, I often found it hard to it get a good nights sleep. Since I started strengthening my core neck muscles at Core Concepts, my neck and shoulder pains have reduced considerably and my migraines have disappeared, said Lin Chueen.

Exercise, unlike most other forms of treatments, requires the active participation of the client. At Core Concepts, the trainers have a strong belief in education. They work closely with its clients to ensure that they understand not only how to do the exercises, but also how and why it works. This enables the client to do the exercises more effectively.

As part of our efforts on back and neck pain education, the trial classes allowed people to find out more about core stability training and to chat with our physiotherapist trainers, said Sylvia. Over 120 persons signed-up for the trial exercise classes.

Open since late last year, Core Concepts is a dedicated core stability training centre in Singapore. With a team of qualified physiotherapist trainers, Core Concepts focuses exclusively on specialised core stability exercises that strengthen the key back and neck muscles (core muscles) supporting the spine.
