Episode 9: Proper Bracing
Manage episode 346035965 series 3402579
Bracing is a conscious effort to stiffen the spine. We all do it; typically when we lift up something heavy. Not all bracing strategies are equally effective nor equally safe. In this episode, Dr. Ulm and Dr. Muse discuss a common compensatory stabilizing strategy called the Extension/Compression Stabilizing Strategy and proper stabilization.
This episode is good for anyone experiencing lower back pain or who lifts weights on a regular basis.
